I have mine from hostfeature

http://www.hostfeature.com/hosting.php

the plan I have only has 500 mb of space but 30 GB bandwidth all for 5 dollars a month. Only problem I have had is there routing problems like my friend in Canada can se it but I can't because a router is down somewhere. It has only happened once so other then that I have been happy.


the gig deal is nice for 7 dollars a month 1 gig, 50 GB bandwidth, unlimited mostly everything

their shared giga-special is a really really nice deal.

$11.99 per month if you pay monthly, and $9.99 per month if you pay for a whole year.

1GB of storage, and 40gb of bandwidth per month, and comes with a bunch of sweet addons.
yeah i saw that on our ads up top.

you signed up for it yet? i've got it sitting waiting for the submit button but just can't pull the trigger on 120 bucks for hosting. the size and bandwidth are great for the price. just don't know if i really want to spend that much on hosting. its actually a bit cheaper than what i have now but i'm on a 6 month plan. this other plan is monthly or yearly only :(

what kinda uptime are you getting? thats a great price for that much space and bandwidth. i may go for that instead of ready set connects' 9.99 a month for 10gb less.

im shocked that no one has mentioned http://www.akmdevelopment.com yet :eek:

cough*Skip is the man*cough ;)
thats who i have my hosting through right now :)

just looking for a bit more space and alot more bandwidth. skip's servers are great. very stable and never a problem, but my data isn't mission critical or anything so its really overkill for me. these other services don't have the special things that skip does but i really don't need it. i can get a bit more space and bandwidth for a dollar or two cheaper per month.
 
I do not have the gig plan from ready set connect, i dont need that much bandwidth or space yet. i have a plan from the older company (www.alterahosting.com) same owner, but due to legal reasons he had to change the name and whatnot, but i have 100mb of disk space (i use about 14mb) and 5gb of bandwidth a month (i use about 1gb of bandwidth a month) for $4.99, and its very stable, and hes my friend. if my company takes off, maybe i will up the plan, it will be going on for a while, but as of right now, i dont need to spend twice as much, because it would just be a waste.

uptime hasn't been bad I have only not been able to see my site twice and that I think was routing problems. Wasn't down too long either. But I have only been with them 2 months so that is all I have seen. I could have missed some.

guaranteed 99.7% uptime

A guy here hosts my website. Jared555 is his user name. He has a post up in the Services section of the classifieds. Just pm him if you are interested. He has great prices. My site is never down and if I have any question at all I just aim him or pm him and he answers it quickly. The software he uses is fantastic also. I can't say enough about this guy. His hosting is just great. Look into it.

:D
