Hello,

I own deksesuma.com and nex-necis.net

HostCentris is going offline soon.

I need some new hosting.

Hostcentris was offering me

1.5 gig of space
150 GB of bandwidth
and the other normal things hosts offer

all for $4.95 a month (with a coupon.. normally $10/month)

Anyway, I was hoping someone would match it or get close. I never used all that space and bandwidth, but if I paid for it, I want to keep it.

Edit: It's actually like the Goodydomains.com offer, but I want something that's not going to die in a few months.

You'll be much better off if you take your current traffic figures, multiply by 2x to allow room for immediate expansion, and then post those requirements. What HostCentris offered you was likely the reason for their downfall. If you were to use all of your resources, it would have cost them at least 3-4x what you paid, just for the bandwidth (not even taking into consideration what it costs to run the business day-to-day - staff, administrative costs, etc.).

you said you never used the space/bandwidth, so why not post your requirements (or the space/bandwidth you did use) and we can give you a quote. alternatively, post your budget and we can give you an offer.

I went with Ultrix Hosting for now. They are really helpful and I figure I should be ok. If not, I'll be back in the future :).

Thanks for the help everybody (even those who were a little harsh :D)

I can give you that for $30/month, as a reseller or as a regular hosting account.

I wonder when people will learn that the reason of hosting companies going down is because of ridicoulous hosting plans...

I wonder when people will learn that posting in resolved threads is useless and close to spam....

I just wanted to let you know goodydomains.com is not going anywhere. We have a reliable and affordable data-center. We have more than enough clients to pay for our overhead and we’re still growing.

We market extensively through overture, which has provided a successful flow of customers.

We hope we can instill trust in potential clients such as you, because we know by converting critics we have created friends.

Try us out, we guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Kindest Regards,
Goodydomains.com Support

It doesn't even make a difference anymore.

HostCentris locked down my main domain and the secondary domains contact information is set to the primary e-mail of the main domain.

Therefore, I'm stuck and they have successfully stolen my domain names.

Did you have full control of your domains? How did you get them? If you didn't have full control then they didn't really steal them from you. Yes, it's still bad, but they didn't steal em.

Registered them through Hostcentris. All the contract information is mine. The only thing that is theirs is the registration service provided by... line.

If they didn't lock the main domain down, I'd be able to transfer it. I'm unable to.

So yes.. they did infact steal them.
