YipeeTechnologies at WHT (Introduction)

Revo.In · #1 08-08-2005, 04:44 AM

Hello,

I've just joined WebHostingTalk. I found it at Google. I must say I am rather amazed. The other web hosting communities are not this active any longer. Kudoos to the WHT staff!

Here's something about me. I am a Web Hosting owner (nothing new here). I have had a one and a half year experience in the field of webhosting. I love making friends and helping people out (maybe that's why I do webhosting). I love reading, writing and debating. I would love to make some friends here at WHT, cause I believe that one can't enjoy oneself in any profession, unless they have friends!

Did I forget something? *reads her post* Oh yea, my name! You can call me Laura, that's my nickname.

So, anyone interested in discussing the increasing no. of 1$ webhosts and how to prevent them from spoiling the industry? [Hmm.... I guess this is not the right forum for it, so someone please guide me on where to place this topic.]

Thanks!

What's wrong with $1 hosts?

And kudos to the WHT regulars too!

Without regulars like me, there'd be nothing to moderate.

Aussie without you I wouldn't have my daily laugh.

Yup, Kudoos to the WHT members!

There's nothing wrong with 1$ hosts as long as they offer quality solutions. But as you see, most newbies ofer cheap stuf for cheap prices and I am really concerned about the fact that they are leading the web hosting industry to a path which we would not like it to go into.

Ah customers that go to unimited everything for $1/mo hosts don't end up there very long, and usually after a few tries they come to a respectable host.

Yes, and there are very few such hosts. Most of the cheap hosting compnaies that I saw so far are either lack in quality or in support.

The fact is that for most companies it is impossible to offer cheap hosting and provide a quality service and a good customer support/service.

Yea. The problem is that these people do not realize three things -

1. Someday, they'll want to upgrade to a dedicated server.
2. Someday, they'll want a salary.
3. They'll have to bring in Helpdesks, Live Chat, Billing, Credit Card processing and other softwares into play.

And all the above, requires money.

The problem is that you get what you pay for.

I think you failed to read my username or domain name lol.

There is not a thing wrong with offering hosting for $1, it's all in the business plan.

Hi Laura nice to have you join WHT, we unfortunately don't have enough women so it is especially good when we have a new female member join. My name is Laurie but most just call me Doc.

Now if you could tell us a bit about yourself, what part of the world are you based in, hobbies etc and a photo would be nice. A lot of us have posted our photo on whtfaces.com

cheers

Doc

Oh, sorry, Im just referring to cheap hosts in general, I have not looked into your specific offerings. Im refering to those who try to offer the world for a dollar.
