    Hello Everyone,

    I was just looking at www.zihost.co.uk and some of there prices are extremely cheap, could you please tell me whether it is worth it? There middle plan costs only $30 a year, so are the prices good?

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    Yeah, sure. The prices look fine, but when this happens, it usually means the organization is putting you along shared hosting. It might be a hundred to a couple thousand people on that same box as the one you are on. You never know. Check out what BlueHost has to offer.

    Actually their prices are in GBP. So their middle package is around $49 if my math is correct. Also... they do not give a lot of monthly transfer as far as I can see... only 20GB with that middle plan, and only 15 pop3 accounts. You can find much better deals for less money.

    Additional info: They provide you with only 10 subdomains with that middle plan. You should get more for that price.

    It depends on his site needs. No use of speed if they set only 20gb transfer limit per month... Much better hosting plans can be bought for that amount of money, with also good server speed, but it's just my opinion :cool:

    Where are you located? If this is close to your country then I would recommend going with them if not, try a web host that is located in the USA.

    You can check out www.web-hosting-genius.com to view and compare web hosts to see if they meet your requirements.

    Bluehost is the worst hosting company I have used. The Bluehost servers I was on were very unreliable and had lots of downtime. Email never did work on two accounts. I would NOT recommend Bluehost.

    Thanks for some of your replies, no thanks for others, but the owners were wanting a stupid price for ZiHost
