 |
|
I was just wondering what kind of hosting plan everyone has and what they're paying. (so I know if I need to switch or not  )
I've got unlimited bandwidth, unlimited space, and unlimited websites for $7.91 per month. Anyone have better deals out there?

Unlimited bandwith is a dream. It is unlimited only if you don't take too much of the hosting provider's bandwith. Take 50% of it and admins will throw you out...
Same for space.

So far I've been with these guys for 3 years, and they have top quality service. And they can't throw you out for using too much space. It's in the contract. If they have a problem they can speak to my lawyer ( whom I'll hire after they kick me off )
P.S the last deal I had gave me 10 gigabytes of webspace, and 150 gigabytes of bandwidth for $77 a year. Why do you have 160MB for that much money???

I'm paying $40 a month, 20 GB of Disk Space, 250 GB bandwidth along with a bunch of unlimited services. Tech support is great (in my opinion). I'm hosting 40 different domains. I've been very satisfied. http://www.networkredux.com

I pay around 12 EUR per year for 2 GB space and 5 GB transfer per month. Tech support is OK and overall quality is on good standard.

my hosting is free, for 300MB of space and 10GB/month of bandwidth; with php and mysql.
I had 2th level domain (www.mysite.org) for EUR 24/year, 100MB space and php+mysql, but I leaved it. |

That's pretty crazy stuff, do they offer the same service if you had the server yourself??? I'm sure you can build a rig like that for less than $400 easily

All that "unlimited" stuff is just a gimmick. You cannot use unlimited bandwidth as this will result in unlimited CPU and/or disk I/O resource usage, and those resources are limited for you:
"If Site5's system administration team determines that a customer's account is utilizing an unacceptable amount of system resources, Site5 may temporarily deactivate the account in question. If Site5's staff deems necessary, an eviction notice may be sent to the customer of an offending account providing them with ten (10) days in which to either upgrade to a dedicated server or locate a new provider. This only occurs in extreme cases."
The quote above is from Site5's service agreement. I'm not saying that Site5 is bad - I used them for 4 years, and the only reason I moved from them is because they didn't offer (and still don't offer) VPS plans.
My current plan is: $75/month VPS on a quad-Opteron 2212 server, 100 GB disk space, 300+ GB bandwidth, 768MB or 1 GB RAM (I don't remember).

Heh that's pretty odd. I logged into my backstage area and it said 3.5 terabytes available worth of space. I asked a tech support guy about the limit, znd he said as long as I don't upload more than 3.5 terabytes of space I won't get "warned".
This space is more than my whole county would need so I'm not complaining and it's not so hard to believe since terabyte harddrives are a dime a dozen these days. I also have three domains added, each taking a hefty amount of space

I doubt it. There are many other limitations on shared accounts, and you will very likely hit those:
http://www.site5.com/support/rup
So, the account has unlimited bandwidth and disk space, but you cannot do anything with them because the policy prohibits file hosting, prohibits running high-bandwith applications, limits the number of server connections, the number of files in directories, the size of your databases and the number database connections, and so on.

I don't think I'll have a problem, I've got a little over 11GB worth of stuff uploaded already. I don't mind testing it though. I'll keep loading up heavy files until they say something.. worst case I'll go somewhere else. AMEX wins
