Softaculous/CloudOS/KSplice/LiteSpeed/Raid10/Cpanel/R1Soft/ $.50 cents per mo
So many ads and choices, it gets really hard to figure out who are the sharks and who are not.
Beachcomber has been here for over 10+ years and counting. We have been with our local Better Business Bureau for years and have an excellent rating. You do not last in this business unless you provide the kind of service and support people want to have and want to keep.
What we do not do is offer ridiculous promotions and discounts. We charge a fair price to all our customers, offer the same deal to everyone and make sure when the offer expires that the value we have given the customer makes them want to stay.
If you want a company you will keep, try us. I think you will be happy you did

Well,the setup email arrives more than four hours later.
Here's my initial impression.
I find that submitting a support ticket counter productive as we have to register again when we are already logged in in the clients area.

Beachcomber, does your Standard PLUS plan include the first dedicated IP if justified? How much would a second IP run?
Can you provide a link to a file that can be downloaded for speed testing? If you would like to pm me with the addresses of a couple websites hosted with you, that would be helpful as well.

Hi WebRazor,
Yes the Standard Plus allows you to request a dedicated IP. you would need add the domain name to our server and provide us (or purchase from us) the SSL. We would move the site to a dedicated IP and install the SSL.
You can not have a 2nd dedicated IP on our plans...you would need to make a separate purchase of another plan that offers that feature.
With your permission I can PM you and IP for the server we are now provisioning so you can check our speed. We do not however release the names of sites hosted with us out of respect for the customers privacy.

Sales is closed on weekends in that the phone goes straight to voice mail. That said, if you had left a message confirming it would have been setup shortly thereafter. Took a little longer today since we were a bit backlogged from the weekend.
I hope now that the information has been sent you enjoy your account and experience with us.

Wow...... Beachcomber, are you sure with this such low price?

Sigh... sitting waiting for almost 2.5 hours and no activation email.
Man I just don't know why these hosting companies are so sleazy for. I just don't get it. It's like an industry problem or something. Now I'm going to have to contact support, go through all the bother. Damn it just gets so old with these guys..

Please read our TOS....If you want instant activation, we are the wrong fit for you.
To quote:
This is a very careful and secure company and WE WILL check your customer input to confirm your information. Any irregularities will be cause for refusal. We do not have instant activation for this reason. but we do have HIGHLY satisfied customers on a clean service as a result!
---------------------------------------
How this makes us sleazy I have no idea and I do find the comment uncalled for.

Just ordered and waiting for order validation.
Certainly this is a change after getting used to automatic setups. Hopefully I should be able to test it soon and report back with some feedbackJust Freelancing on the Net

My current host is going under I think, and I'm looking for a home for my two sites. You sound very legit, and your pricing sounds great. I'm interested in your "up to five domains" basic package for $24.99 a year.
I'm currently on a cpanel host, and I think you are cpanel too. Will I be able to copy and past my awstat text files from them to you so that I can save my old awstats data?
Also, is the 50% off first year special still good, and how long does it take typically to get an account set up.
Thanks!

Although beachcomber didn't respond here, I emailed the company directly with my questions and they got right back to me. I ordered hosting, and it was activated quickly. The next day I contacted support with an issue and they resolved it quickly. So far, so good, and I couldn't be happier!

I signed up for this service and paid more than 3 days ago. I still do not have access to the control panel or my site.
IT IS NOT RIGHT to take peoples money then make them wait longer than 12hr just because you cant make it to your phone to validate them.
In this world we have something called AUTOMATIC CALLBACK! Or at least we have people who actually work just to verify people, if thats your policy.
I also emailed you and NO REPLY! You couldnt even reply during normal business hours not to mention the fact that your CHAT ICON says OFFLINE in the middle of the business day.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Its not right to take peoples money and make them wait 3 days!
Do you intend to refund time that i havent been able to use the service.
If anyone here is looking for a host that gives you immediate access, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Is this a one man operation or what?<< Please see the Rules page. >>
