Cheap Unlimited Hosting :) take a look

[Dragon18]

Hay guys,

firstly i would like to just make sure that this is ok with all the mods, and memebers.

basically i have started up my own hosting company with afew guys.

Now most people would go hosting hrmm, ok.

well i will tell you guys the deal.

Basically we offer.

UNLIMITED HOSTING PLAN: including.

UNLIMITED SPACE

UNLIMITED DATA TRANSFER

UNLIMTED EMAILS

UNLIMTED SUBDOMAINS

all for $99.00 year

SAU PRICE

$79.00 first year

if you guys are interested please email me on

[email protected]

or PM me.

just to let you know you can put anything up on these sites home page car vids etc etc etc etc.

but dont make a porn site out of it or become a dump server for warez

there preety much the rules.

[Dragon18]

P.S, current site is being updated will give you URL asap

[P1E]

You might want to make a donation to SAU if you want to post advertisements on this forum.

That price seems too good to be true. Where are your servers based and what are their specs.?

[Dragon18]

well i was actullly going to suggest having the prices at 89.00 and $10.00 donation to SAU

our servers are based in the US/Uk, and you cant get any better than what we offer.

We offer all our clients Free 30days Hosting. they can do what they want put anything on there and see for them selves

if you are really intereted in server spec i can provide.

[Amaru]

Im sure a site as big as SAU would rape the living s#@t out of your server (database wise) so id be careful who you offer unlimited too, just dont want another startup going broke

[Dragon18]

Lol, a site like SAU wont be put on a simple basic unlimted plan,

we would have to put them on a farmed server envirment with load balancing etc. etc

our theretical maximum is 80gig per site per month and 80 gig in space.

now for some one to be going that far would be preety crazy but if they do, and its a good reason then we just split there site into 2

[Merli]

I can move 800Gb a month, you still going to offer me $79.00 a year?

There's no such thing as :unlimitedbandwidth:

Trust me

[P1E]

In all my experience, you get what you pay for with web hosting. But I guess you can't go wrong with a free 30 day account.

[Dragon18]

thats right, well Gezzz merli 800 gig, there are people like you, but can i ask what are you going to put on your site, as i said our servers are not there for porn illegal warez etc.

like i said if any one is genuinely interested i will offer a 30 day account for free. as long as you have a domain name.

[Amaru]

Lol, a site like SAU wont be put on a simple basic unlimted plan, we would have to put them on a farmed server envirment with load balancing etc. etc

And would you still charge $79.00 per year for a site of this size? I mean your ad did say unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, and as far as department of fair trading would be concerned, you advertised this deal, so you have to be able to provide it to me for that price, irregardless how much space/bandwidth I use.

Im not trying to be a smart ass, but id put up some terms and conditions with a clause with something along the lines of "if your site uses more than x resources, we reserve the right to move you to a higher rate plan".

I work for an ISP/webhosting/colocation company, and know the ins and outs and what people will try and milk you on, so im just trying to give you some advice to save your ass when the inevitable leechers and resource abusers find out about your offer (and send you broke)

Anyways all that aside, good luck, for us normal people without massive requirements, it certainly is an attractive deal.

There is if you look in the right place! 1500/512 Business grade, static IP unlimited (the old definition of the word before Telstra raped it) @ $180/mth....

Dunno if I could get this again but we've been on it for 12 months quite happily!

Now, our email alone is around 800mb to 1gb per day, might be 200-500mb worth of FTP traffic a day so we're definately over 30GB per month (I think some months have been around 100-150GB) and there is no excess charge or shaping...

(Now about BT port forwarding.....)

[Merli]

you said no porn sites... you didn't say no hosting a few porn videos... What, you're putting a restriction on all X-rated material? No pics, no vids, no nothing?

And what do you mean "people like you"????

You're the one that claimed unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth

Dude, 512kb upstream??? That's not a host, that's a fricken cable/adsl connection :)

I'm talking 100Mb Ethernet (12.5 megaBYTES) bandwidth connected to major pipes like Verizon or Time Warner... *THAT'S* a webhost.

What's a 512kb upstream going to do when you have 500 requests per second? "Hooray!!! I'm downloading at 0.65kb/sec!!!"

[Amaru]

And what do you mean "people like you"????

I think hes implying youre a bandwidth whore

[Guest Munky]

I would definitely consider this. But gatty is kindly hosting my website for free at the moment.

Do you have any sort of interface like cPanel for example?

If you do, then I'm sold - sign me up!

What are the uptimes like though? Any guarantees regarding that?

[P1E]

Post your full server and connection specs.

Also, is it just me or do your add-ons seem fairly expensive? Or is that where you make your money?

Eg, if I add an MySQL database to your unlimited plan, I'm looking at close to $300.00 / year, which is more expensive than what I'm already paying. Or am I reading this wrong?

[Dragon18]

OMG

Amaru

Thanks for the advice, we do have terms and conditions, on our site, I just didn’t post them on the forums,

I know exactly what you mean Amaru,

As you said we do cater for business and high end "mission critical" web sites.

But I am offering you guys a deal with heaps of space bandwidth to do basically whatever you want.

Now if you are a corporate company with 500 users over AUS and a huge website obviously I am not going to go HAY! take our $99.00 dollar plan

As the capabilities and demand and just too high, I would recommend another of our plan

I am not here to rip any one off, just trying to offer people a good service for a good price. I know a lot of people on the forums look for hosting to host what ever they want weather its there car information to help people business sites etc. But most of you are not making a profit on what you host on, that’s why I am offering this to you guys. I expect people to be weary, but like I said any one who is interested I am more than happy to open up a 30 day account for you to test on etc

[Guest Munky]

Dragon - Please reply to my PM - Thanks

[Dragon18]

i will get full server specs for you as soon as possible, just to let you guys know our site is currently being upgraded so i will notify you of the changes.

Also i just remebered Meggala has a hosting account with me as iam good friends with him, so you guys can ask him if you like, in terms of speeds and uptimes

as i havnt herd any complaints from him

yet

[Revhead]

What about a small business (ie for profit) website? I run a computer business, and would be interested in $99/yr hosting. Obvious question #1 - is that Australian dollars?

Do you do PHP/ASP? I imagine that my bandwidth usage for the business side of things wouldn't be particularly massive, but I'd no doubt use it to host stuff for SAU, vids of friends (no, not that kind!), my personal website etc. I most definitely would not use 80GB of storage, and with 512Kb upstream it'd take a while to put it there anyway
