    Hello. Well as i got VISA card and money on my paypal soon I'm thinking in buying hosting in USA. I think i will buy GoDaddy 200gb for around 6$/month.
    But there is a problem, when i choose 6$ hosting plan a month, they make an payment around 56$? Why don't make an payment of 6$ as the hosting plan is worth 6$? You can't pay them every month 6$ or you need to pay for all year in one time?

    In order for you to have the hosting plan, but pay monthly, you need to 1 mo:$6.99/mo option. If you intend to stay hosted with them for 12 months, 24 months, or 36 months, then choose the appropriate option. The $56 would be the payment for the year, so you would not have to pay monthly. In this case, you would pay again next year on the same date that you purchased the hosting.

    i'm a member of godaddy too but not purchase their hosting service (buy domain only)
    when i see to their hosting service, they have 3 hosting plan ($3.99/mo (min 2 month), $6.99/mo , and $14.99/mo )

    i guest that you order the 2nd hosting plan,
    why you have to pay $56 ?
    maybe thats including another service such as Add Traffic Facts Just $2.99/mo!, Add a Standard SSL Certificate $19.99/yr! ,etc

    try to review you order first and chose what you need,

    hope thats will help :)

    Hi, the reason it is asking you for $56 is because they want you to basiclly pay 6 months to a year in advance to get that $6/month price.

    I have just came out with a web hosting company located in Houston, Texas. I offer pretty reasonable plans.

    I have a plan that is month to month price of at $5.95/month which will give you 60,000 MB space with Cpanel Hosting. Most people who get web hosting do not really go for how much space they have. Usually on what the web host offers. I personally only have 18 web sites all in total and only using 2 Gigs of space.

    My company offers Fantastico De Lux which will allow you to install over 50 great scripts like blogs, forums, shoppingcart, commerce stores, Etc with no web knowledge at all.

    I have a 99.9% uptime Guaranteed on my servers and a support team that will assist you whenever you have any questions. You may check out my Support knowledgebase to see that we offer many instructions on how use Cpanel, and WHM.

    I am not trying to get you to purchase from my hosting web site, that is totally up to you who you choose, But I though I would leave a suggestion about my company to you. www.1hostguy.com

    Hope you have a great new years!

    I have heard bad stories about godaddy hosting. I would avoid them for anything other then domain names.

    HostGator is good, but I prefer Bluehost.com for shared hosting. $7 a month if you pay for full year.

    Hostgator has monthly billing, and the first month is just one cent when you use a Hostgator coupon code.

    Go to PlodaHost.com and they will give you a month free. Before you even pay for hositng, try that out. And they have very good hosting.

    just check out few sites listed in www.masalahost.com , I had contacted almost all the sites they have listed and they sounded fair enough plans.
    I would personally prefer hostgator for cheaper hosts :)

    Look for the following when looking for host

    1. Reliability and name ( yes name matters)
    2. If they offer multiple web hosting sharing same bandwidth and space.
    3. Do they allow porn if you want to.

    I have been using godaddy delux plan that allows multiple domains to be hosted. The only -ve point is it is "slightly" slow under loads.

    Well im searching a host that i will have on around 6 domains and around 5gb+ space. I want to pay every month fee not in one time, or should i choose godaddy 2month period, and then just rebuy it every 2 month?
