    Again, my hosting company down. I can't access my web and I can download my pop3 emails.
    It's a cheap web hosting, with good reviews... but down again (yes, not the first time)
    can the prices of web hosting lies?
    I mean, if you go for cheap web hosting, you will get cheap services? Not quality services.:confused:

    Where exactly did you find the company? Was it one on these forums or somewhere else?

    I think you've hit on something when you said "cheap web hosting". Cheap does not equal reliable.

    I know we are not the "cheapest" out there, but we are reliable. If you are looking to change, why not give Hostdrive.Com's Web Hosting a try.

    For more information check out our hosting plans here: http://hostdrive.com/webhosting

    Plans start at just $9.95/mo. or $99/yr.

    the seller come from DP, but now is up again. (I'll not expose him yet)
    the seller said that the problem is not his. he have the server somewhere, and the company that host the server is somehow block the server.
    I'll keep my patient right now, but I'll keep my eyes open.
    This is my second times using cheap hosting services, my first one (not from DP) is deffinetly suck, I can't say yet about my current one.

    I read the review and testimonials carefully though, people who have only less 500 post will not count.

    I allso Got a nasty shock when i got cheap hosting from a dp mamber.
    I went out there and found an exelent host,And got my-self a nice re-seller account.The price is a touch high but No downtime.
    Server is fast with failover.
    bfebrian or any other member i will give you 7 days free trail just let me know what space you want and we work out a price.

    I do believe in the saying "you get what you pay for"

    you searched for the lowest price and got the lowest quality

    that how I feel right now.
    First time is for fun only, looking for the cheapest hosting company, creating a small website or blog, show if off to friends...
    but now getting serious.

    Cheap hosting is only good when you have simple static sites with not much traffic.

    Otherwise it is always better to spend a few dollars more and use a reliable host.

    I am paying $25 a month for my hosting.

    Currently, I am using only about 400 MB of the 8 GB space limit that I have; and 15 GB bandwidth out of the 200 GB bandwidth limit that I have.

    I could have gone for a cheaper hosting, but I chose a more expensive option. The support and speed that I get for my sites, more than makes up for the few extra dollars that I spend every month.

    I think you should remember the golden rule of web hosting- get what you pay for. Cheap prices - poor services.
    I pay $33 per month (ahosting.biz) and I'm glad with their services.
