which domain hosting sites are cheapest!?
Hey people :P
Which domain hosting sites are cheapest? i was thinking of going for eseehosting.com but $40 bucks a year for only 20 meg... the amount i have to pay doesn't matter, but i want to know which ones are cheaper like, if they all are $100 a year, but i wanna see if one has 20 gigs or some only has 10 gigs for that price.. so please help! really need help :P the value is the only thing that matters :P ehehe ^^ sankyou sankyou Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Powweb: $100 a year, 300GB a month. It's damn HARD to find a better deal. It's what I currently use. How ya doing, buddy? |
http://www.dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html
What I currently use. $96 a year if you sign up for a 2-year contract, with 20GB disk space and 1TB monthly transfer (which increases by 8GB each week). If you want a small discount, I can set up a promotion code for you too How ya doing, buddy? |
I used to be a proud Dreamhost customer, until I didn't have a job. For the price, they give you a lot of space and a lot of bandwidth, it's actually quite remarkable. (A terabyte of bandwidth for ten bucks a month? ZOMG)
You don't have to sign up for a contract to get a decent price. You'll notice that without a contract, there is a setup fee. Simply contact them and ask them if you can bypass the setup fee; there's a good chance they'll say yes (they did so for me, and the person who suggested it to me.)

9.99 a month, 5000MB of space, uhm, I think 125GB of bandwidth - there are more space options too and of course higher price. Damn dreamhost offers so much more though. Edit: Oh Jaguar updated thier site.. wow I guess offering so much bandwidth at a good price is not a problem for webhosts anymore. I can remember it was just 4 years ago when you had to cough up an arm and a leg to get as much as 15GB of bandwidth and that's not even enough to run a standard fansite. Anyway - for a domain itself you could either register one with your host, or go to a true registrar like http://godaddy.com . Most amazing jew boots

There is a Wikipedia article on Dreamhost. Highlight:
As a former employee, I am very well-versed in the inner workings of DreamHost. We were-and still are, I imagine-almost literally rolling in the cash, which is why they're able to sell so much for so cheap. We bought shit like arcade machines, tons of food, big screen televisions, etc. Also about half the staff dropped acid at random intervals throughout the day. Just thought you guys would like to know what goes in behind the scenes! (anonymous posting from User:68.254.181.82 moved from main article) FELIPE NO Nothing wrong with not being strong
Nothing says we need to beat what's wrong Nothing manmade remains made long That's a debt we can't back out of |

$60 a year plus no steup and one domain 12GB space 500GB trans What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
The Speed is sometimes an issue I hear. I wouldn't know, as I'm only on a 1mb connection and it always goes at my top speed for me, but researching on a few web-host forums, apparently for some people it's a bit slow sometimes. But for what you pay, you can't go wrong. With any of the plans you get a domain name. For extra domains you can buy them through the web panel, or just go to enom.com or godaddy. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Dreamhost does experience bouts of downtime. But in most cases it's resolved within half an hour, and there is a nifty system they provide to report and keep track of these situations.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
On a side question, so the bandwidth increases by 8GB per week? How much is your bandwidth right now then Bigblah, if you don't mind me asking? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
The disk space increases each week as well. If Blah's bandwidth goes up by 8Gb a week then we're on the same plan =o. The Disk space increase is 130Mb a week.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Can anyone who uses Dreamhost provide a link to their page, though, so I can see what the speed is like? If it's not asking too much, of course. I was speaking idiomatically. |
By the way, GFWiki uses Dreamhost. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

GFWiki runs on MediaWiki, which isn't exactly the best in terms of efficiency.

Serious Business forums are on Blah's hosting.
phpBB vBulletin I have a Joomla set up. That should be enough =o I agree, mediawiki isn't really that fast in general. By the way Arbok, what speeds did you get when downloading? Out of general interest. I can only get 120kb/s due to my connection only being that fast, but another person I asked reported only around 300kb/s. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Reackon they would allow a private php based tracker for just a few private users? (No TV shows or Movies)
Anybody using Dreamhost running one at the mo? FELIPE NO

Would just like to add that typing in promotion code "less97" will get you the entire $97 off, giving you an effective cost of $3.91/month for their cheapest offer.
That is, if you don't wish to make some existing DreamHost customers happy with referrals I think running bittorrent trackers are somewhat computationally intensive, and may be explicitly disallowed in their Terms of Service. DreamHost offers you tons of space and bandwidth for a very low price. But the servers housing its mysql databases are not known for their speed. To be honest, there's nothing much you can do about this. Can't have your cake and eat it too. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Does godaddy offer good web hosting along with domain registration?
Does dreamhost addin ads? Can anyone describe the interface? Is it all user friendly? I'd like to create html pages then upload them like on Windows Server's IIS. joseph Jam it back in, in the dark.
