| That is a rather low budget when it sounds like your only other requirement is reliability. Frankly, highly reliable services come at a cost as going from cheaper, small business grade hardware and networking components to enterprise grade was over 100x the cost for us (just using our Juniper switches as an example in comparison to our old switches).
It depends how much redundancy and reliability you want and expect, so you may wish to evaluate your needs as many people tend to throw out a number of quota's based on their current service but in fact use a very small portion of that.

| Agreed . No matter how long the company is or how reliable the company is, it is better to actually try them out on monthly basis first because you different user have different feeling about that certain host. You try it out first and see if the host meet your expectation.

| your budget is too low if what you are looking is a reliable host.
|
| Posted by XeHSean, 08-10-2010, 11:13 AM |
| Your budget is on the lower end - is it possible for you to add a few extra dollars per month?
Also, what sort of features are you looking for?

| Please stop dreaming

| If you haven't got anything pratical to say then do not say anything atall... Your reply is just plain right rude..

| Out of curiosity, are your requirements what you would like or what you actually need or will need in the near future? Your budget isn't all that bad, but the requirements make it difficult to achieve it.
If you could perhaps reduce your requirements and settle for a little less, you'd be surprised how many more options open to you and how many hosts will be able to cater to your requirements
Good luck on your search!!

| could probably bring the hard drive space down but I do want 500+ bandwidth.
I've come across this company: http://www.hostrocket.com
Aparently been round since the 90's and are as big as bluehost, does anyone have anything to tell about this company or anyone use them?
|
| Posted by thishosting, 08-10-2010, 07:45 PM |
| Seriously now, I can see this going the same way as a lot of other threads. There is no such thing as unlimited. And at those costs, i'd be surprised if they let you get away with anywhere near your requirements.
Also, why exactly is that link you posted going via a redirection service?
Either way, best of luck with your host, especially if you choose an unlimited plan.

| 1 Agreed.
Increase your budget to find a reputable/reliable provider.
Then check out the offers section.
|

| Your budget may not be very large BUT, you could order a smaller plan and then use the profits from it in order to obtain a more expensive plan meeting your requirement.
k-disk has inexpensive pricing, order the smallest one and keep upgrading as needed. That way you are paying only for what you need and not for what you may need in the future.

| BURST.NET uses software for their VPS line that allows them to oversell. You did say that you wanted a reliable provider? Perhaps you should find a provider that does not oversell.
|
| Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 08-11-2010, 12:03 AM |
| What? You have NO IDEA what you are talking about. Our software speeds the delivery process. It does not oversell. Do you have any first hand experience with our product? Because I need you to verify it, else you are breaking wht rules.

| That's a budget of over $18 a month for 50GB space and 500GB bandwidth, I don't get why people say the budget is too low. Check the resellers offer section or even google.
|
| Posted by techjr, 08-11-2010, 12:55 AM |
| 18 dollars per month is not to low for a reseller. For a quality reseller where you are able to utilize full resources, yes the budget is to low. Not all hosts magically add 10+ dollars per plan for no reason. The quality of the server and support has a few things to do with it.
|
| Posted by thishosting, 08-11-2010, 01:03 AM |
| Aside from the comments regarding Burst.Net, i'd just like to point out that overselling isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as its tightly controlled and within moderation. Overselling at a sensible level, i.e. NOT offering 200gb of space for $10 a month (as is being discussed in another thread), doesn't make a host unreliable. Overselling to the extreme and customers sites suffering as a result, makes a host unreliable.
That isn't to say it's a practice we take part in ourselves, but it is used widely in the industry, and when it's done sensibly, its no bad thing.

| Well what i think my post is simple short and straight forward its not rude... Just thing a basic server (1TB bandiwdth and ~200GB space) will cost you 100$ per month with no management, firewall etc .. at alteast 50$ for management total 150$ per month ... and your requirement is 50GB space with 500GB bandwidth for 18.33$ per month and you want a reliable hosting too ..
It might felt harsh for your but i again say Please stop dreaming if you ever find a host which meets your requirement then its services will last just like you saw a dream .. because server will be too much overloaded and error/server down time will be very frequent .. and when you wakeup from your dreaming session you will again come to WHT to find a reliable host

| Hostrocket was quite popular back some years ago, but I really doubt they're as big as Bluehost these days. If I were to venture a guess, I would say that they're an order of magnitude smaller.
Where did you read that they're comparable in size to Bluehost?
|
| Posted by djshades2004, 08-11-2010, 08:07 AM |
| I think I read it on a post on wht a while a go.
I currently thinking of heading to k-disk or hostrocket at the minute.. Can anyone give me some experiences with any of these hosts.
|
| Posted by Winglet, 08-11-2010, 08:36 AM |
| For that money (maybe 10 US$ more)you can get VPS (512 MB RAM dedi.) and cPanel/WHM with appropriate other specifications, with 1 IP...
Depend of server locations, USA or offshore.
|
| Posted by Abidh, 08-11-2010, 09:45 AM |
| Are you sure? I don't remember any provider giving cPanel/WHM VPS with 512mb ram for 10$
cPanel VPS license already prices more than 10$...
|
| Posted by Winglet, 08-11-2010, 10:08 AM |
| I said "for that money (maybe 10 US$ more)". I thought for 220 - 230 US$ year!
If you need more info, please PM me.
|
| Posted by Richard-BCS, 08-11-2010, 11:09 AM |
| I totally agree. Just check the offers section, some providers are offering 50% off the first payment. So lets assume that some provider is offering reseller hosting for 390 USD a year with 50% off that would be 195 USD a year, so that price is possible.
|
| Posted by djshades2004, 08-11-2010, 12:35 PM |
| could you give me details then please?
|
| Posted by Jedito, 08-11-2010, 12:46 PM |
| Is not possible, and any host offering is operating at lost, specially on reseller package, I would stay FAR AWAY of any host offering, you can't see this packages even on big oversellers like hostgator (their plan with 50 GB and 500 GB have a yearly cost of about $300) who have a lot of space/bandwidth to spread.

| We have a few clients hosted on k-disk and everything is stable and quick with plenty of features to boot
Keith is doing a great job
|
| Posted by Winglet, 08-11-2010, 02:01 PM |
| Even if you want offshore (Germany) VPS you can get it for same price (220-230 US$ Year)
|
| Posted by TBradley, 08-11-2010, 04:43 PM |
| BurstNET, what I said is that you use software that allows for overselling. It is commonly known in the industry that OPENVZ has the ability to oversell. I never said that your company oversells, just the software you use has that ability. I am in no way prejudice to BurstNET, in fact I have before looked at your servers for myself. Please do not take my reply personally, I am just trying to enlighten the OP.
|
| Posted by BurstNET_CSM, 08-11-2010, 04:58 PM |
| I apologize then as your statement was slightly ambiguous.
No harm. No foul.
Thanks for elaborating
|
| Posted by TBradley, 08-11-2010, 04:59 PM |
| No problem at all!
