Hi,

Just to shatter some illusions:


http://www.myqth.com/ (host #1)
500MB Disk Space
30GB Per month data transfer


FYI, bandwidth costs at least $2 a gig. They offer 30 GB/mo for about 4 bucks :confused:

They have a free Everyone.net forum - enough said. Also, you going to trust and pay upfront for a year? They won't be around for long, believe me.

Umm, that is what I heard. I do agree the unlimited or unmetered is impossible. Maybe the law of the averages thing actually works, and with rules blocking out warez sites, but it is not honest. The service may be good though I am not sure.

That's crazy those prices. I think they must be overselling the bandwidth (alot) :D.

Bandwidth does not cost that much in large quantities.

Oh really? And you are speaking from what experience.......?

If you don't own the data center and aren't buying in bulk from the backbone then you won't get lower than $2 a gig even if you buy ALOT prepaid.

I am a happy user of phenominet(tier II plan)
Tier I is only for personal sites, so don't get it, go for tier II and tier III. They have very good uptime and good support. They don't have custom CGI, but they do support php and mysql. Right now I have custom error pages and subdomains that they set up for me free of charge, they are very friendly also.

What they mean with a personal page ? A page that you make for other people, but the page isn't for a business ? Like an animesite or a resources site, that are personal pages ?

Usually what they mean by a personal site is a site created by an individual or a group that doesn´t have anything for sale on it.

Bandwith is based upon your internet connection, if you have a dedicated server that is running on an OC48+ you will probably never have to worry about bandwith, I dunno about webspace, but Unlimited Bandwith seems possible.

There is always a limit to everything, if you are running twenty OC48 connections and have a massive host... you could eventually run to a limit.
