Re: OT: A good web host?

Hi Josey. You ask a lot of a host!

I can only speak for my host - Surpasshosting in Florida - but I think they'd all be much of a muchness - the competition is pretty fierce in that field.

What do you call "cheap"? There are various options.

You can get unlimited bandwidth and 1.6 GB disk space for $7 a month (on a 36 month plan). (This plan is legacy and may not be available any more.)

This offers unlimited domains and unlimited email addresses@...

You may pay more for extras like an SSL certificate, static IP address etc - if you don't know what they are you probably don't need them anyway.

Such cheap accounts will be "shared" - your domain sits on a web server with dozens, or a hundred other users' domains. This obviously will be less speedy that having a dedicated (expensive) plan.

Guaranteed uptime for my domains is 99.9% - which means your site may be unresponsive for a few minutes every couple of months. On dedicated plans you can get 100% uptime.

Shop around and work out what's important to you.

Cheers

Mark

Hi all,

This is off topic. I hope no one minds me asking.

In about two days I'm planing on starting a website, but can't pick a
web host. As I know at least a few of you have or have had websites,
I'm wondering if you have any advice.

I'm looking for the impossible; a cheap web host with unlimited
bandwidth and space, 0% downtime, your own domain name and great
features.

There's a few websites I want to start over the next year or so, so
another good feature would be being able to host multiple sites, each
with their own domain name, without paying more.

Also, I would like to own the domain name, so that I could change host
if I wanted to without losing the URL.

Thank you,

Josey
