Thread: cheap hosting recommendations please

I'm interested in setting up quite a few hosting accounts with the folloiwng spec

1 domain (or more, not bothered)
Supports ASP (windows)
MySql database (or at least the ODBC for accessing external MySql)

Cheap, about $1 month

for instance softsyshosting (dot) com have a suitable account, but I want more from different suppliers to get a spread of IP's.

Anyone got any ideas?

If I have to I will translate my ASP to PHP and go unix, but I'd rather not yet.

Its very hard to find $1 hosting. Especially when you want each ip to be unique. But if you want I can offer you some web hosting for $2/month. PM me if you are interested.

By the way that is a special offer i am offering to you. Just happy to help out a fellow BHW member.

$1 hosting wow ....

Can anyone get any cheaper?!?!?!

Ok ..listen up ... I want everything FREE from now on...

Hopefully you have a P4 Dedicated machine for me, I don't want to pay anything.

Oh yeah, I expect 99.99% uptime, security ... and prompt support. What is the F'ing deal????????

What happened to people? - I know I can't be the only one thinking this.

And if so I will DEFINITELY stand here alone.

There actually is free hosting that supports databases.
try 000webhost(dot)com
Remember though, you get what you pay for. If you want a lot of IP's move to a cheap VPS or dedicated.

i used to be with Arvixe.com . It's a small company but has been in the industry quite a while and i loved it. it's about 5 dollars a month... check their package yourself.

-----------------
I don't think any one can offer better deal then netfirms. They are very reputed company and you can expect 99.99% uptime.

One more thing this is not my link or my coupon, it's their own promotions.

Never heard of Netfirms ... this actually looks really good ...

HOWEVER - the cheapest regular hosting price that they have is 4.95 per month.

That being said, this is an incredible promotion and great specs on the offer.

But I am reading the fine print and it looks like this special ended already. You can always call and ask if they will extend this. It ended March 31st 2008.

If you never hear about netfirms then let me remind you it's one of big companies in hosting world.

I also checked and found that offer seems to expired on 31st march but when i tried to signup it was working. I have seen this offer 8-9 mnths back and they still running it (always keep extending). So better give it a shot.

hi mate,

actually there are two webhosting right now that you can pay by monthly,

www.terabyteshosting.com $1.99 per month.
www.strikedata.com $1.44 per month

hope this help you. if you like it. give thank you button.

and this hosting accepts paypal

Thanks for the good input and comments ...

However ... I am always turned off ... when I see company (that front as a legit enterprise business solution) ...using the oldest templates on the web as their corp site.

What's up with that ?

The prices ..yeah great .. - But I can't even get past the good prices cause they look like some kid found a template a put a name in front if it. For all I know they can just be a reseller of another service - in which case I REALLY don't want to do business with them.

PEOPLE: WORD TO THE WISE AS I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS MANY YEARS....

ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE HIGHEST CHAIN OF COMMAND - and work directly with them by any negotiations necessary. It will benefit you much more in the long wrong. If you can't talk that talk ...get someone to do it on your your behalf. The last thing you want is 3rd, 4th, 5th parties.


I mean : 99.5% Network Uptime /// who offers that? These are designed to run 24/7 - 365 if I am with a world class data center .. Which I am in 4 collocations across the U.S. - I want to know my shit has 99.99% uptime. The only uncertainty is with catastrophic loss - in which case the fuel reserves alone for a world class data center are designed for continuous uptime for 2-3 months after catastrophic loss. Ok ..so some you need simple hosting and these service fit the need - I am not completely attacking them. But I need redundancy and scalability which you should all take into consideration.

Just avoid some reseller. That's all.

These service may be legit and standalone. When I see certain things like amateur or templated websites it send up red flags.

That was my rant.
