Hey, I just discovered HostGod.net who seem to offer pretty cheap Reseller and Shared packages.
I have never paid for hosting before but I am considering getting an account for that price.
I have never heard of them before and I was wondering if anyone was hosted there? Would I be safer to go with a more popular host or do you think it would be okay. I have gone through the spec and talked to the support and it seems very reasonable but Im not sure weather to go with it or not.
What do you guys reccomend?
Thanks

I think that it will be quite difficult for you to find out more info about them.

Where did you find them?

They posted a thread in a paid hosting forum.
Yeah, they are pretty new but their packages seem great.
The webmaster tells me they plan on moving to a better server very soon.
It may be worth the risk, I dont think they will scam me or anything, Im just a bit weary of paying for hosting as I never have before.

They offer unlimited web hosting plans and you don't think they'll scam you?

Well I can't say they will scam you but I myself would never go with a web host offering unlimited space. It just doesn't exist since there are limits on the hard drive size.

We can't make your mind up for you but if you do decide to go with them, don't forget to post a review of their services in a few months time...

Why is their logo an N?
You know... that's a good question :)

What does "N" have to do with Host God. There is no letter "N" in their name at all :P

What do you mean?
I havnt added my own domain yet, but they gave me a free subdomain.
You can add unlimited amount of domains.

If your looking to be a reseller i suggest looking into Who-Is Privacy, Dedicated IP's and private name servers. Without these, people can easily tell that you are only a reseller, it puts a lot of people off.

Good luck :)

Okay, Im about three weeks down the line now and it is a good host but it has some issues.
There has been some downtime recently and support takes a long time to sort out any issues (if they do). I still have a problem from sign-up that needs sorting and it as not yet been fixed.

How did you sign up? Their order page doesn't exist...

I'm guessing you just sent him money through paypal and talked to him on msn?

When a host doesn't have a billing system, and they're offering unlimited reseller and shared packages.... It puts up a red flag.... I wouldn't have purchased from them even if it was free.

It's not like you didn't have any warnings about the possible problems you would face, but you signed up anyway.

Lets count the good and bad here.

Good:
1. Can't think of anything good about their site or packages since they offer scamming unlimited packages.

Bad:
1. They don't have a billing system to keep track of clients.
2. They offer unlimited disc space and bandwidth, which is not possible.
3. Their website is very generic. Any good hosting business, thats serious about their company will at least invest in a good template or custom design.
4. No physical address.
5. No contact form
6. Has only been in business for 3 months
7. ,,,,,,,,,,,

You get the idea. The bad out weighs the good!

The admin has sorted it all now. Im back in business. I dont think its a scam, as in he will take the money and run, but they clearly have a few server issues. Its really not as bad as you guys are making out. I understand that unlimited cannot be true.
