I thought I would drop you all a note to let you know about my Christmas web hosting special.
50% more time on all web hosting packages from this Monday the 20th of November until December 24th 2000.
i.e. any monthly package you buy is now 45 days
any six month package is now 9 months long
any one year package is now 18 months long.
current packages and pricing are at:
http://www.tera-byte.com/hosting-web.html
We are also now offering Dedicated Cobalt raq servers at 99.00 a month
the plan is a raq 3 300 mhz system with 32 megs of ram (upgradeable) and a 10.2 gig drive with 100 gigs of monthly transfer additional transfer is only 3.00 a gig. no long term commitments or prepays or setup charges you can get started for only 99.00 a month
my page for this isn't complete yet, email me steve@tera-byte.com with questions.

Damn! That's good..... Are the prices frozen lifetime? (that is, if I buy the 1 year deal which stretches to 18 months, can I renew my subscription for another 18 months at the same price as before?)
My 2 Cents.... (or is that 2.2 cents inc. GST...?)
Have a think about this : Programming is like sex. Make a single little mistake, and you'll be supporting it for the rest of your life.

i had not considered that actually, but yes for annual packages it will become an 18 month term for as long as you host with us. (the monthly and 6 months i cant do that with my CFO would shoot me )

That includes dedicated servers too?
Why is your site (tera-byte) so slow to load?
Thanks

If a company can run a promotion now, they can certainly do it easily in 18 months.
- bandwidth pricing falling
- cheaper,more reliable,bigger hard drives.
- fast processors, more capacity per server
- more automation.

I have a basic stupid question:
On the page it states the following:
Up to 100GB of transfer
•32megs of RAM on initial install
•10.2GB standard storage
•Unlimited email addresses
•Up to 300,000 page views per month
•The ability to handle up to 35 million web objects or "hits" in a single day
So, up to 100GB, and up to 300,000 page views per month, what does that mean, is it up to 100GB or up to 300,000 page views per month, whats the difference, it has left me confused and wondering.
Lets say that each page is only 10,000 bytes, times that by 300,000 and you've got 3,000,000,000 whats that 3GB? or 30GB? so whats the difference and why is it listed at all, are you limiting people to only allow up to 300,000 page views in a month on the server?
The other question is this: You state on the order page the following:
To add MySQL is $375
Mysql pkg file is available from cobalt, I dont know about the raq3, but on the raq4 software admin panel, you can install MySQL by including the ftp url to the cobalt site for the mysql pkg file and the server will install it. Isn't this the same thing for cobalt 3's? If so couldnt I just install mysql through the admin panel?
Php, I assume that I can install my own php as well, do you know of any reason why php4 can not be used on a raq3?
Thanks for the info.

the reason my site reads both the actual transfer allowed (100 gigs) and 300,000 page views is the marketing plan for these servers. i wont be marketing them just to people like yourself who know what a gig is, ill also be marketing them to people who dont know a thing about the internet. abd your calculation is correct but it isnt suposed to read 300,000 page views a month its suposed to read 300,000 page views a day, the site is not finished yet

Sorry for the bother, but your last response brings me to another question.
Dns, I assume that I can run my own dns on the server correct?
If so what is the DNS management that you speak of that would need to wait until you all are in on Monday?
Thanks

its our dns manager and if you plan on running your own dns you dont need it, although it will also supply your bandwidth usage graphs as well

click install, wait a few seconds, finished!

fine (http://www.vgworld.net/php/phpinfo.php).
Installing PHP is a little more complicated than
installing MySQL though. But if you have some basic Linux
knowlegde (ie. you can use pico etc.) you should be able
to install it.

Additional IP's
Can we rent additional IPs to use with these servers?
I know that the dedicated servers available from tera-byte can be ordered with 30 IPs for $10 monthly. Is this also applicable with the 4webspace offering?
