Xenon Design Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I know a web host in the US and they are thinking about offering free hosting if you buy a US$10 per year domain...I havnt got information about how much webspace or bandwidth youll get but it would be reasonable. And I think there will be no ads.If theres alot of intrest they will start this offer.So basically you pay $10 per year for a domain and get BANNER AD FREE hosting for free.

boen_robot Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Well of course you won't get ads. Who is going to pay for a host with ads?As for the host itself. If it has unlimited bandwidth it would be worth it even if there isn't PHP. If there is: great!I once saw a host with PHP support and unlimited bandwidth for $15 per year. I forgot them though. At that time I wasn't aware how hard is to find such a host and I wasn't aware of PHP's full potencial. Not to mention that my knowledge of HTML at that time finished with the presentation of the <b> tag .And the space... for me, atleast 50MB thank you . After all, I know free hosts that offer more, though they don't have PHP support and they offer subdomains . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephistopheles Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I'm not feeling the groove.My cousin has the host for ten bucks a month, and I get domains for three bucks a piece at small businesses of Yahoo. So, I have many domains, but all my profits are split half and half with me and him. I basically don't make anything though because people apparently don't like my sites. His rock though. Go figure.

Xenon Design Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 The web host says it will have PHP and ASP with MySQL and DSN's etc.It would be over 100MB webspace with no doubt 1GB Bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingMan Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 A $10 domain and free hosting wouldn't be so bad as long as you were given enough space and bandwidth, and there were no ads. I pay $40 a year for my hosting. I get 500MB of space with 7GB of bandwidth. This is soon to increase to 750MB of space and 15GB of bandwidth. This includes up to 7 sub domains, SQL Server, and a plethora of other features. Not a bad deal in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skemcin Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 been there and done that. most of these services are affiliate leased providers - someone selling someone elses hosting space. the end resutls is horrible support, horrible stability, and a waste of your time. there are many paid services that do not cost that much more and will stand behind their service 100% 24hrs a day. many, who know me, will be surprised that I didn't drop the name, ok, I can't resist - crystaltech.com. they are one of the highest rated hosting providers out there and their rates are unbeatable next to their service. over the last 3 years I have migrated all 30+ client sites to their servers and have never had any issue that ever made me consider leaving them.you get what you pay for - any many of you younger folks may see that as a cliche, but as you experience things, you begin to understand why there is such a thing.
