I would stay far away from them since they claim to offer unlimited space and bandwidth.

Now just so I don't consider this spam, do you have a site hosted with them? It seems the one in your profile is hosted a tF2S.

[BlackDeath]

yes i do have a site with them and iv been with them for a month now

[Lord Illicious]

I was about to sign up until i seen there was no mySQL but how can one set it up or could you set it up on their unix server?

[niv]

You have been warned about signing up for a scam...no host in the world today can offer that. You'd be wasting your time and your money.

What they mean by "unlimited" is ALOT OF.
True its never "unlimited" but i agree that if they risk to advertise as "unlimited" then as a legit host they should try to abide by what they say or not be in the hosting service at all.

Cmon, for a host like that with all that stuff would run in the hundreds a month.

I dunno what to tell ya about these "unlimited" hosts but i cant afford no other host that offer all that and i guess im just blinding hoping for a miracle host at this cost.

PS
Have there been other hosts like this that have had all these features and then close down just like that?

Why do hosts come out with these great deals, close down and get away with it?

What is the best and cheapest host like this that is a no bull**** host?

[BlackDeath]

ok beleive what you want doesnt matter to me you could be
missing on a very good deal here and when people signup
it saves there service to do this

because they use to be FREE and now people that signup have
to pay and they do offer all of this and i dont think its a SCAM

most unlimited space from there could be around 200mb or more
and maybe who knows maybe 2gig bandwidth a month or maybe even more or could be less but i see no scam and this service has been around for a while

but no one says you have to join just dont be putting down
a service that is just giving all this stuff for that price

[niv]

Unlimited is synonymous with infinite, can someone provide infinite space? Nope.

[Coight]

Hello,

Just reading abit about this post. Blackdeath stated that you get:

Free Domain Name(i.e. yourname.com)

My question is, if he/she has an account with this company why are you using a cjb account when they give you a free domain name.

Robert

[niv]

Hmm...good point. Thanks for the heads up, Robert. :)

[BlackDeath]

the service thing with the domain just started

and i got the free host account thats why i got no domain name
when i want a domain i will get 1 and there is no more free accounts

[Lord Illicious]

Does their FTP even work?

STATUS:> Resolving host name ftp.mas3000.com.
ERROR:> Can't resolve "ftp.mas3000.com".


If this is a scam then ill report them to the BBB and CA.

Dam i knew it was too good to be true.

[BlackDeath]

it works for me how ever you looked up the ftp thing its 100% wrong because i can login and the login time is alot longer then f2s i can stay logged in for like almost 2 minutes

just wait intel your proved wrong

[Lord Illicious]

Here is their Q&A for the FTP

Q. What is my FTP login?
A. ftp.mas3000.com

Q. How do I log in through FTP
A. Use the username and password you sign up with.

Ive followed them instructions exactly and it didnt work.

What Is the ftp login address that you use that does work?

[BlackDeath]

did you join them

if you did you got to wait intel you get a e-mail saying your account is ready if its not give the ftp thing a while to be setup
it doesnt do it automatically like other hosts

i dont think anyway but ftp wont work right away


i dont remember how long i had to wait for mine i got to search my mail to find out :D

[Lord Illicious]

The only email i got was the ccbill subscription confirmation but ill wait till tommorow.

Goodnight WebHeadz

[BlackDeath]

if nothing happens contact the webmaster there or the sales person

i wish freesql.org was still up ;o(

[Coight]

Hello,

It seems to connect for me:

Connecting to ftp.mas3000.com
Connected to 12.45.93.18 Port 21
220 unix51.hosting-network.com NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.
USER anonymous
421 Anonymous logins are not allowed here.


Just thought I'd point that out.

Robert

[BlackDeath]

yep thats correct :D

anonymous logins are dangerous

[Nicole]

There will never be an unlimited host, unless some dude invented unlimited hard drives while I wasnt looking ;)

The only danger is that yes, its a well known fact that unlimited hosts boot you for using too much "resources" (i.e. bandwidth/space) but what each host calls "too much" could be completely different, Host X could boot you for using 3gb of space, and Host Y could boot you for using 500Mb!

Its a tightrope, it really is!

It is.

[niv]

if you got a domain with mas3000.com, you would just have to ftp to your domain after it resolves. i suggest you put your money somewhere else because I think you're making a big mistake by going with an "unlimited" host.

[Lord Illicious]

UHG now it connects but it wont accept my password.

I tried every possible login method but all fail.

Any suggestions before i cancle my subscription?

BTW, ive emailed them since yesterday and i got no response.

[BlackDeath]

ya i got a suggestion wait a little longer lol

[Lord Illicious]

How long till next month comes and i get charged again? :biggrin2:

Oh man i remember the good ol days where there was cool hosting (even free hosting) with unlimited space and hardly no restrictions.

[BlackDeath]

no you will eventually get a e-mail real soon or your ftp thing will work its not like the webhost said 24/7 tech support everyone works you know ;o)

and its all at e-mailing at the right time last night i e-mailed at the right time and i got fast response in like 30 min or an hour i think

if you joined a month ago you would have gotten it free but they will start a free one again some day but i dont think it would have all the stuff it does now i think the free one will have ads i dont got a problem with that though as long as its not popups

i only like embeded ads that i can move anywhere i want

[Bruce]

Well I would have expected them to work at the hosting company. It is usually a full time job.

[BlackDeath]

ya true but i think its only one person doing all of this not like 2 or 4 people

i asked to see if he can put up a support forum but i dont know if he will or not


oh ya thanks for the freesql link :D

ROTFLMAO

[Lord Illicious]

Har har har gag ahoc and spasm puke.

Cmon man whats wrong with a lil hope?:confused2

[BlackDeath]

so any luck yet with your ftp?

[Lord Illicious]

Yea it all work cool now.
Thanks

BTW, Do you run that site?

[BlackDeath]

nope i was just wondering and in rules i cant advirtise my own site :confused2

but some day i will have a server and host a few sites but not so many though so the sites i do have all run super fast all the time
and possibly there own IP i might only host 4 to 6 sites if i ever do get a server :D

and if i do good for half a year i might expand but who knows

[Lord Illicious]

Like i said before "unlimited" means ALOT of space cus there could never be true unlimited space.

[niv]

Listen, you've made a big mistake by going with them buddy. Unlimited means infinite, and I have people that are backing me up on this. Hosts that say they provide unlimited space are LYING. Is there such a thing as unlimited resources? No. The most hosts can provide across a hundred users with the standard server is 3 GB. Bleh, it's not really my place to tell what to do with your money, but you've made a bad mistake.

[Lord Illicious]

Dam man what can i do? I ANT AFFORD NO F****** $300 OR MORE A MONTH FOR A HOST.
Besides i already told you that i know that unlimited is bullsh** so whats the big deal?

If they cant cope then my site will shutdown and i will move on.

Peace

[niv]

99% of hosts sell space at 42 or lower a month, not 300 dollars a month. Me? I pay 7.95 a month for hosting. What is my problem? I want you to go with a reliable, respectable host that will last.

[Lord Illicious]

OK thats cool.
Can you find me a host under $30 a month that has:

2000 or more MB space (for a nice BBS and a cool site)
Decent bandwidth
FTP
PHP
CGI
3 mySQL
What i wish is for ALOT of space and the features above.

Maybe more features like:
Shoppin cart, Real server, bla bla etc etc

Does a host that can provide all that for under $30 a month exist?

[BlackDeath]

ya and which host might that be?


there is also hostwiththemost.net
but they got alot of restrictions

and reliable???
does the other offer what this one does?
and im not talking about hostwiththemost

mas3000 gives
Scripting: Perl, SSI, Python, PHP, TCL / TK 8.33
SSL and a domain name and for most people thats
what there looking for if you look for anything else like
that it would cost alot more

hostwiththemost isnt bad though like $40/m

Whoa! :eek:

Have you ever gone shopping for hosting? At 30 bucks a month, that's way too much to expect. 2000 MB? :eek:

If it were 200 MB I'd say tera-byte.com.
Try mchost.com's reseller plan...you can always ask them if you could use it like regular hosting.

BlackDeath:

Please be quiet if you can't find a decent host. As long as mas3000 is offering U*N*L*I*M*I*T*E*D plans, it is a scam.

[Nicole]

Try emailing WebThingy, the owner of Asp2.Net (at tech@asp2.net)

He does custom plans, tho i'd be prepared to shell out a *little* more than $30 a month for what you want, but who knows, have a bash!

->Nicole<-

[BlackDeath]

asp2.net doesnt look bad :D

they actually got good deals to.......



well when i get my own server i would offer 10gigs
i would say thats unlimited for most people seriously :D

[Nicole]

If somebody complained at 10 Gigs, i'd like to see what they filled their space with :confused:

Then again....perhaps I wouldn't want to see it... :D

I dont understand.
FS2 offers FREE bannerless hosting with:
50 Megs of space
FTP
PHP
CGI
mySQL

So a paid host couldnt have all these features with a ton of space(ok lied space really is like 200megs) but a free host i would have to pay them so i can have way more space?

If i could i would pay FS2 for the similar setup i have now but just with at least 2000 megs and 3 100 meg mySQLs.

There has to be a great affordable host.

[niv]

2 GB is way too much to ask for in a regular paid account. Custom plans don't usually go that high without passing the 40$ /month level, 39 will get you 1 GB.

It's F2S, not FS2, and F2S has broadband services in the UK, that's their source of income, and it's 20 MB, not 50 MB.



The reason you don't seem to understand is because you've only been on one side of this...you have to be in the shoes of the host. If a host only has 35 GB to spare on their dedicated server and they need some way to make a profit, why would they give customers 2 GB of space each? It doesn't make sense because the majority isn't looking for that much space unless they're using it for storage. I believe 2 GB of space on a reliable host would cost you around 50$ a month. A great affordable host, what you're looking for, would last for only a month if they gave 2 GB away for less than 30$ a month.

[BlackDeath]

true true true :D

but i dont care my mas account is FRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE! :D

[Lord Illicious]

Do you know any 2 gig hosts for under $60 a month?

[Nicole]

Lord,

What would you use the space for? 2Gb is a LOT of room for a web site.....aint it?

->Nicole!<-

[niv]

http://www.mchost.com/plans/

It's 100$ a month but that's because it's meant for reselling, try searching here:

http://www.hostsearch.com/s_power_u.asp

If I were you, I'd check the "avoid Unlimited Space" option.

[Bruce]

At http://Host4Students.com they offer 3 gigs of space for only $22/year. It'd be kinda hard to use it all with only 1 gig of transfer though, but still might be good for storage.

[niv]

Aren't they a donhost.co.uk reseller?

[Bruce]

Are they? I don't know.

[niv]

I believe I read that at WHT, and besides, why would they offer so little transfer? It's because Donhost has its 50 GB a month limit.

[Bruce]

The only thing that just doesn't really make sense there is that they're using TurboDNS.

[Lord Illicious]

Say wa? I would use it all. Ide like to have a fully hooked up site with music, anime, gaming, mugen, kung fu, a big forum and my own online store plus more.

Look at my pethetic site http://www.illicious.net/

[niv]

Forget I said that...:p

[niv]

Lord Illicious, you mean become the next aniverse.com? Come on, you'll need a dedicated server for that.

[Nicole]

Lord,

WebThingy from Asp2 would take you on and give you 800Mb for $45 per month.

If you outgrew this, he'd be happy to find you the best deal on a dedicated..

->Nicole!<-

[bigperm]

Aww shoot... yupapa changed his plans... He had a 5gb plan.

[xinganlia]

Might be if you dont mind the speed you can get more space outside US & UK around $40/m.
I dont think any one can offer Real Unlimited Transfer in any datacenter.

whats up everyone i showed the webmaster of mas3000.com this thread here is what he had to say

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
www.mas3000.com is NOT a joke. We are NOT a scam and we have many loyal
customers who like our service. Because most of people hosting with us
don't take up more than 100MB, we have lots of space for the sites that need
tons of space. Please tell this on that forum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


why he didnt post it him self i dont know but dont really care
he asked me to do it so i did if anyone replys im not going to go on with this little war so if you do see this post and dont like what you see just dont reply keep your mouth shut please

if you got a problem with anything take it up with the web host provider not with me

[megagente]

Those are the same words people from 9kd.net said months ago.

Where are they now?

People, unlimited space don't exit. I don't know about an infinite hard drive ever invented.

[BlackDeath]

who says he only has one hard drive alot of servers could hold alot of huge drives

you cant forget lots of drives are up to 60gigs to 80gigs
and no one never uses that much space if you use more then 1 gig you must be hosting one massive download site

and most people that have a download sites get there own servers so why go on about this?

You can think it does and that you'll actually get this all you want. *They* can think they offer it, but simply, they can not and do not.

I did find it rather amusing that their main page states:

"Prices starting at $7.50 a month!"

Of course they have one package, for $7.50, everything unlimited.

I wonder if they'll have a second package at $10.00 month - double unlimited?

Sorry I just have to lock this thread as these types of hosts are just a waste of everyone's time and honestly, I think they should be fined for their advertising practices and shut down.
