Are these any good???

They seem alright to me, i think my website will have a high amount of bandwidth as ringtone sites do tend to have plenty of visiters, 35Mb should be more then enough for my site, they also have MySQL which is great news as I have been looking for a cheap or free host with no ads with this.

Also £23.99 is a bit cheap....

They feature unlimited bandwidth and there is no such thing: bandwidth is quite expensive. If your site will get popular they will probably shut you down or send you a high bandwidth bill. My advise: don't (and it's not cheap too by the way: visit http://www.dim8.net or http://www.valuablehost.com : you will get more for the same price and (even more important) you can ask them questions in this forum as they visit these pages frequently).

Goodluck!

I missed the pound sterling sign .... value is higher than dollars. 23,99 pounds is app. 33 dollars. Also missed that it was a yearly price.

Anyway ... still don't see the webhost as a great service. First of all, just don't trust unlimited (do you WANT to be shutdown in case of exceeding bandwidth, it won't cost you money but you will loose visitors: they want a stabile site), secondly 35 mb webspace is not much for a high traffic website. I assume you want to have great contents as well ... 35mb is filled within a short time.

See for yourself but if you want to build a reliable stabile site with possibilities to expand, try looking for a different webhost where they will have bandwidth limits (they all have limits, including the 'unlimited' ones).

better yet, go to allsite.co.uk its cheap cheap, its a YEARLY CHARGE, and of only 59 american bucks(i dont know what that converts too hehe), so thats cheap for me, i dont really wanna pay for my host, but what u should do is signup there for the reseller package, use ur one site as a personal site that offers hosting, get acouple members to pay u anything u want, they allow u to charge anything, montly, yearly, anyway u want, and then when u get enough people signed up that u are basicly paying off your accounts money(and ur customers there .com charge which is only 35 bucks), if u still have like 35 bucks a year left, when u calculate it all, u can get urself a 2nd domain, change it into the hosting site, and then make ur first site into ur personal site, just remember to post a note to people tellin them the new hosting sites address, they giveu unlimited space and bandwidth, no lie there, subdomains, pop3's, cgi, php, mysql, unlimited ftps, all that, u can offer all ur customers the same thing for there domain when they get it, u can also host ur friends for free with a subdomain, but a warning, dont go makin ur subdomains free, unless u plan to just give them to ur friends and no one else

just remember if u get reseller, dont go chargin them equal 35 dollarsa year, cause then u wont make profit, charge them like 25 a month instead, then u will be makin like 265 dollar profit, per site, u host, so imagine havin 10 sites getting hosted by u, u will make 2650 bucks a year, buy really doin nuthin, all that allsites requires u do is provide ur customers with support, like a phone number, and e-mail and web board for them(if u want, i can set u up with a message board for free, i got nuthin better to do)

well, that was alot to say, hehe, c ya

35mb will definately be filled up real quick!
My one website is 60mb, so I'm going with http://www.aletiahosting.com/hosting/, although I could go with other places to get a more specific of what I need, but http://www.aletiahosting.com/hosting/ are quite cheap according to me and there's always that extra space if I ever need it.

The owner of Supanames Barnaby lashbrooke is a lieing toe rag. I've sent him emails and he swears blind to me he can provide unlimited bandwidth. What a numbwit.
