    Hello all friends

    Hope you all are fine there

    im seeing that daily 6,7 New web hosting company comes at Dp and post their offer for web hosting , some of them even don't have site then also they are selling web hosting...what do you think guys is this industry was scrambled By n00bs...


    Because i think these guys comes with 1$ hosting and stay for 1 Month and then close their hosting i have been seeing that 80% of such hosting companies wont last for even a Month , but its just Disturbing whole web hosting Industry and quality.

    Well .. most hosts dont even have experience of server administration.. they start making unlimited hosting for 1$.

    Thats bad ..its pure scam.

    most of these new hosts only get like around 5-10 customers. That's why they shut down after 1-3 months. I can't lie i oversell. Without overselling you wont get any business. Though at least I am not a reseller and i put hard work and dedication to my services unlike most hosts.

    I will buy one account for storing backups, I have like 100 * 600 MB backup files, not warez
    Will you suspend

    BTW, we din ran away, we were ddosed which resulted in hdd crash..
    I agree there is no business without overselling but overselling should also be done in the sense that it looks normal..

    That is why I go to WHT every time I need hosting. There, I could ask everyone about the company and get some reviews.

    Web Hosting has extremely low barriers to entry or exit. This makes it an extremely competitive market. Buyers power are strong in that there are too many to buy from, web hosting companies position are weak because of low barriers to this industry. It is extremely tough industry. Best approach in this sense is to find your own locality, maybe your neighborhood or city and be the dominant host there or be a specialized host for eg domino hosting etc. These are making good money. General hosting market is nearly dead due to the extreme competition.

    Prolimehost - 100 GB Space & 1000 GB Bandwidth for $6.99/Month

    Can you supply an actual 100 GB + space for me? I have a shit load of HDV that needs storage. Its not porn no. it’s just all my raw footage from events i film etc. Would your host allow this?

    I think that comes down to that your only own a dedicated or vps

    Clients are not stupid. They know where to go and they subscribe only after duly confirming the host and services. These $1 unlim hosts are not getting even .1% business than us who are in industry since Oct. 1998.

    its because of the growing popularity of reselling business these days.

    everyone goes off for reseller, so thats why we have new hosts popping around

    also its to blame unlimited/unmetered reseller accs that many hosts provide these days.

    Cheers,
    SameerHosting

    Your basicly offering unlimited yourself for 1$ ?

    100gb HDD and 2000gb Bandwidth for 1$ Monthly ? You could provide unlimited, mainly the same thing :)

    EDIT: And your offering unlimited for 5$ ;) Same thing as 1$, gives you nada!

    Actually not all high bandwidth and spaces offers are overselling
    I offer lots of space & bandwidth but im not overselling my clients can use all of their space and bandwidth
    I offer large space cuz i have 1000GB hard drives and i offer huge bandwidth cuz i'm on 1Gbps shared unmetered connection and i'm proud that i have 0 downtime til now
    the price is low that's why i'm not making to much but its ok im planing to make much in the future not right now
