Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : I have found the best host!

[The Laughing Cow]

I was searching about the internet for a new webhost and I came upon these two companies:

• C I H O S T
• Localhost

I wasn't sure which one to signup with, I hadn't heard anything bad about Localhost so I thought I would give it a try - besides they are a free host!

Pros -[list=1][*]100% uptime. Well as far as I could tell they were always running when I was on the PC.[*]The servers are not very crowded. From what I could see - I was the only person using the whole server at the time! Now that is a bargain![*]They also give you full root access so you can do whatever you want on the hosting account[/list=1]

Cons -[list=1][*]Some of my friends said that they could not access the server at night - usually between midnight and nine am. I think that they are just jealous because they are with rip off hosts who you have to pay! As I said whenever I have been on the PC every time I have checked localhost have been up! That's impressive in my books![*]My major gripe is that they don't seem to answer technical queries - I tried support@localhost but they never replied. I suppose I can't expect everything so I guess i'll just have to do it myself.[/list=1]


I am in no way affiliated with localhost before some of you flame me as a troll. (that would be messy!)

My site is http://Desktop and You can ping my IP of 127.0.0.1

I strongly advise that you host with localhost as they are better than any paid host I have ever used.



Next week I will try out C I H O S T as I am interested to see what such a cheap host can do for me. They do look a bit like they are run by school kids which worries me though.

lol... oooo makes me want to be hosted by localhost also!

[Rewdog]

Are you dangerously bored or are you just trying to confuse the newbie popluation?

[N9ne]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahaha it's a very funny story but if you're serious, well...

[AntiSpamHosts]

LOL.

Going along...


Your pings are incredible! I am getting 1ms pings!

[Andrew]

HEY! I've been with localhost for several years now! 127.0.0.1 is MY ip NOT yours!

[cybotix]

i still think earhost is the best

[The Laughing Cow]

lightnin.

Perhaps we are using host headers? The server I am on with localhost is running Windows XP Pro - is the one you're on? I assume we are sharing an IP.

[bags]

Well, you may be getting service from localhost for free...but not me!
Seems most of my money goes into it!
Although I do share the account with one woman and an 11 yr old girl. I've been thinking of switching, but I'm kinda
spoiled with the service they provide.

Where do I signup?
