Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Hosting : Digitalspace.net or simular?

Has anyone had any experience with digitalspace.net - they have a very impressive features lineup for the price but what are they actually like?

Does anybody know of another host that has a simular set of features and price?

try pcisd.com
more space, more subdomains, more ftps, try before you buy all for the same price

more space - yes, more subdomains - yes, more ftps - yes. But it costs 10 times as much per month! & you don't have telnet access.

You get what you pay for... Support is a little infrequent, and server reliability is a bit suspect, but features are great.

If you have a mission-intensive site, then don't put it on DigitalSpace - spend the extra money on a more decent site. What are you primarily looking for? PHP? Telnet? etc. And what's your max budget?

As for PCISD, do a search for them on various web hosting boards around and alt.www.webmaster (http://www.deja.com/group/alt.www.webmaster) and you'll get a host of mixed comments (more negative than positive)....

Speaking of which, check the topic below this one ;-) (PCISD beware)

We have a customer who has sites on both our service (True Hosting) and DigitalSpace.net and they have commented that they are very good. They certainly appear to be a well known company, and their servers seem very fast.

Ben, There servers at digistal space are very reliable like davey said. the support is limited as they put more into the better paid accounts. But there service explains itself in detail and you dont really need much support from them.

The one feature I really want is Telnet access with PHP and full CGI access also being very high up the list. I'm not too worried about space (about 5mb is fine) and bandwith.

My budget is $5 per month (i'm only 15!)

Thanks

Thanks - you've maid my mind up!

For $2 a month I expect what they say works to work but I don't expect to have my hand held by someone their end all the time. I frankly don't think it's resnobal to expect that for $2 a month they will jump when you say!

Ben,
I sure hope you've see the lengthy trails about TrueHosting, if you are thinking about them for your host.

Just another word of advice, when think you've found a host, search the forums for their name and read the posts before you decide on them for sure.

...my $.02...

Everyone: Please don't use that as an in to start on the TH route on this thread. If you need to say something about TH, please just refer to the lengthy posts about them. It'll just help us all keep our sanity.
Thanks!

No not True Hosting (whoever they are!!). I have now got a digitalspace.net account and it's very good for low cost hosting I recomend them greatly!!
