What web hosting company?

Phate · 14 Jul 2006 at 01:56

Hi there people,

this may be the wrong forum, but basically i'm looking for a web hosting package.

Would want about 150mb ish

Not exactly sure what i should be looking at for paying etc. basically looking to start my own website to post my photographic and photoshop work on it. so will need a fast server to load the images

Thanks all.

Says on their website $7.95 a month for all that you mentioned

If you order it, and then there's a point to enter the code. It drops it to $9.95 for the year with a massive discount.

For non essential hosting that is a bargin.

sounds like they may be over selling, you dont need that much space unless your running a file server or something

Oh my God don't bring the WHT tripe about overselling to these forums. Those kids on WHT have absolutely no business sense. And 99.999% of the WHT members are said kids

Apart from my mini-rant you're right though, they do oversell horribly but they're a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge company and a very good one, too, so it's kinda like Vodafone (huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge) offering their crazy deals - most people don't actually use them, so they still make money.

But in general, at least in the kiddy hosting cesspit of WHT, you get what you pay for and God have mercy on their souls :s

after the trouble ive had with 1and1 over the past year, i definitely would never advise anyone to use them.

absolutely useless.
