Pay hosting

Postby Ashton » Sun Aug 11, 2002 7:26 pm

All right, I'm ready. I've decided that it's time that I get my act together and build a website. I'm more than willing to pay a reasonable amount for hosting as well. But I really don't want to get ripped off or get screwed when I sign a contract for a year’s service to some horrible host.
So, to all those out there that already have their videos professionally hosted, how is your service, and who is it from? How’s the uptime, speeds, storage, and cost (and I mean the actual uptime and cost, not necessarily that which is advertised)?
Also, are the majority of pro hosts cool with AMV being hosted? Or do most say it's a legal no-no?

I really cant recommend any hosting but as far as your question for if they allow amvs. For the most part no they dont and they will cancel your ass with little notice.

My host is decent. I haven't been with them long enough to get a real feel for uptime. So far my site/vids have been up, and I haven't experienced any downtime. I have 60 gigs and 500 mbs space for 16.00/month. Dling speeds are good, and I'm pretty happy with them. http://www.alwayswebhosting.com/index.html

I wasn't aware I couldn't have them. That sucks. They haven't contacted me, and I guess I need to go reread the TOS

I use always web hosting as well, great tools, easy to setup, INSTANT tech support-makes my old host aplus.net look even crappier than it was. AMVs are technically ilegal off ANY host except your own, so just dont draw atention to your self :)

Hmm..so many posts on web hosting...was thinking about creating a searchable open MySQL database where people could post and comment on good and bad hosting sites...It seems that something like this might actually be worth the effort...Course I'd want some feedback form you all first :-)

I love my host...I pay 25 a month.....I get unlimited bandwith and space....I'm the largest site on their network....Hell...My new site has been open since july 27th and I've transfered above 60 gigs.....But I do know the CEO...That's probably why I get such a good deal....lol...=P....They don't normally host sites like mine but since I was friends with the CEO they let it slide...

That is exactly what I have been looking for for a long time. it would be great if someone could just really boil down all the crap and give me the straight facts about the honest to God best hosts on the net and their respective costs/transfer+space. I would definitely give it a look, even though I really couldn't contribute anything personally.
