I found this at

this site (http://www.web-mania.com/cgi-bin/hostshop1.cgi)
Is this host reliable and if so is this a good package?

[guitarnerd]

They sound good, I have a feeling they are reseller though just because they show pictures of there data center and considering I myself haven't heard of them, probably means they aren't the most popular, thus making them not have enough money to pay for those huge datacenters. I don't know though, maybe they are very good. What is that amount of money in USD?

[Lil_Rob]

guitarnerd the price in us dollars is $28.50
and ive seen them advertising at ebay

[Giancarlo]

Yeah I got a feeling they aren't true...

Never heard of Easynet... is that bad or good?

[Archbob]

They didn't mention anything on bandwidth.

[guitarnerd]

I did a search for easy net and didn't find anything useful about them.

[F1RULZ]

The data center allows companies to rent out space in there data centre, they can rent out say a wall and put as many servers as they like in it. thats why the pictures arent theres, I sent them an e-mail about the bandwidth and aint had one back, It has been over 16 hours now since I sent it, so their support isnt very good.

Hi.

we have an allowance of 1Gb per month, with extra data transfer costing £5 per Gb, however we would neveer charge without letting you know and also you agreeing to it, also we do not charge till you get ove 3Gb a month and then we'll let you know before hand so that you agree to it, if you do not agree to it we may disable some content to bring your transfer back to a reasonable amount

hope that helps

your point is :confused2

[F1RULZ]

Its not the sort of thing you expect to get back from a company selling you somthing. You expect high quality material no matter what the quality, even most dodgey car dealerships have proper punctuation in their letters and alike.

he proved his point "sonthing".

[F1RULZ]

Were did the rude thing come from? I didnt say anything about it, if it came out like that Im sorry :( I was just trying to say that it sounds dodgy from the e-mail I got back.

[guitarnerd]

I will agree that when you are buying something from a company you want a proffesional response. It makes you feel more comfortable with the company. A company having email responses with good punctiation is just, in a way, e-buisness edicate. But hey what do I know

[F1RULZ]

Its kind of if you see a website with high quality graphics which looks profesional you tend to think that it is better than a site which is just text, I guess realy it is just first impressions, as this service could be the best in the web, but you just dont know.

[NexDog]

Hi,

I have to agree with F1RULZ on this. The quality of the reply doesn't cast the company in a good light in general. If their sales people can't write properly then the chance is that they are either highly uneducated or very young. Whichever the case, they haven't got enough business sense to hire someone with proper skills to put on their frontline. And this probably means the guy that wrote the email is running the show by himself and he falls into one of those categories.

[MN-Carl]

I am gonna have to disagree ....

Whats more important to you guys :

Service / Support / Price

or

Grammer / Spelling / Age


Hmmm ... i can't wait for these answers :biggrin2:

[F1RULZ]

OK, I take your point, however, if the writting is illegible to read, the support is not good, so you can not include, support in your first statment, however, I will agree that if the service is better and at a better price, the spelling and grammer would be second. However the support also took over 18 hours to reply to one e-mail, I cant think what it would be like if the site went down?

Those are all important, you shouldn't have to compromise one for the other!

They don't resell. -- but they have terrible dns hosting.
