Im from Israel, and only 16 years old, and have no credit card !
But, my partner in my site, have credit card (he is 19 years old)...
but the problem is that he only trust on Israeli host and dont trust all the others (that not in Israel)...
Maybe someone have a host that he can trust off (relaible)..
coz here is my host details :
-------
25 $ per mounth
40 MG
3 gig transfer (we need at least 5 !!!)
full cgi-bin (perl, c, ALL)
php
WE HAVE NO MYSQL (and we really need it !!)
and the only thing that good that they are really FAST and stable !!
FTP (duh !)
no subdomain, and only 10 pop emails !
-------

Can someone offer me othe host that cheaper (15$ is ok !)
that at least offer me all the above + mySQL + FAST + REALAIBLE (im from Israel..) + STABLE...
other stuff (sub-domains, more ftp accounts...) will be great also.

but a host that dont steal our money (again, were from Israel)

I'm from the Netherlands (in europe) and i'm having a homepage with them too. The 9.95$ a month package : www.powergamez.com is my domain. They are very good :), and yes you can trust them, ask all people here .

I asked them also here (the people) and all said they're good

I know your 19 year old site partner does not want a US host, it is highly recommended that you convince him they are good, and some are bad.

One that is good is http://www.below10host.com , I have been using this one for a long time and it really provides a service for what you paid for.

Based on what I have seen, Aletia is a good choice.

If you are still looking for a host, megapuzik, check out our $5 plan that gives you 100 megs and much much more than what your current host gives you. I will bump it up to 3 gig/month transfer and if it is trust that you need, I will give u one month of free usage before you need to pay. That means that you don't need to give me your credit card details until you've SAFELY tried out our service. :)

Always be wary of deals that seem too good to be true, so steer clear of hostrocket.

Damn, try www.liquidweb.com , for $25/month you could get a hell lot there.

I hear good and bad things about HostRocket. But the general consensus is:

1) Servers are down alot
2) Support is slow
3) Support staff are obnoxious (lol)

We are getting some refugeees from HostRocket everyday. Main reason I hear, is their behaviour on their forums. They zap any posts that are slightly critical of their service and some users report having their ENTIRE forum account disappear for being critical so they have to sign up again.

The owner seems to berate his own clients in public on the forum and the moderators all gang up on any critisizers so they have to leave.

Doesn't seem like good business practice to me. We have people criticize us on our forum sometimes (god forbid :D ) but we never delete anything. Honesty is the best policy. All hosts have problems, it's how they deal with them that distinguishes them from the rest.

Sounds like the people at hostrocket are a bunch of little Hitlers... totalitarianism at its best. :D
