    Ever done business with www.bluedomino.com?

    Hi,

    I'm switching web hosting companies, and was wondering: has anybody ever done business with BlueDomino.com?

    Thanks,
    C. O'Connor

    It means mas3000 hates Unlimited Bandwidth, just like everyone else here

    If you look closely at the face, the puke pile reveals the word "unlimited". Its one of those wierd things on this forum...

    I don't quite understand...why do you guys hate this unlimited data transfer/bandwidth? The agreement might be a bit sketchy, but what's wrong with it? It sounds good to me. I read the posts that IT Hosting linked to, but it seems as though if you don't use too much of it, it's not a problem. Reactions?

    It's a community issue and has been covered ad infinitum. The problem is, hosts who offer unlimited bandwidth invariably have a clause in their TOS negating the offer. Therefore, using the term is deceptive. As there are a fair number of dishonest hosts about, why consider one that offers a blatant deception? Of course, some of these hosts aren't bad. The company I work for offered unlimited bandwidth and disk space when I was hired. After listening to various arguments here, I convinced my employer to change their plans. Hope this answers your question, I think everyone is tired of arguing about it.

    correct, you use only 1GB of bandwidth a month...suit yourself, go with the unlimited host...but you also need to worry about the fact that there are other clients on the servers that may be using 100+GB which means the the host is paying big $$$ for their bandwidth.....many unlimited hosts only charge $1/mo (or there abouts) which means they are unable to stay in business for more than a few weeks...do you really want to change hosts every few weeks?? i think not...

    you need to find a host that you can trust, and has an out right TOS/AUP of which you understand everything...you need the perfect host that will treat its customers right and not worry too much about money

    Wouldn't you rather have a definite limit rather than having to worry about being shut down?

    Yep. I had an experience a few years ago with an unlimited host.

    I was interested in bluedomino for my first host but I found a clause in their TOS stating that picture galleries of any kind were unacceptable. On the humour site I had at the time, I had about a dozen thumbnailed pics. I emailed them asking if the 12 would be ok and they said no. So i went elsewhere

    Also, if they state unlimited, they will also limit your bandwidth (no picture galleries as above mentioned, no downloads, etc). If you have a clear bandwidth boundary, then there is no restriction on legal content for the most part.

    Me too
    Not to mention any perticular names but they are the host that everyone only tries 'once'

    Stay clear of unlimited
