    Hi guys,

    I'm now asking for serious help. I have a huge hosting issue.

    I have just started a new forum along with my friends. We are all aged 13-16 and money is a big issue.

    The forum is just 2 days old yet has 2350 posts from our members. This means out bandwidth usuage has been quite high.

    Daily stats:

    Direct type-ins:

    We expect our traffic to increase and we need some way of getting hosting.

    If anyone can kindly sort out some sort of hosting deal if we give them a link or something back in return please PM me ASAP.

    Thank you :)

    http://www.hostgator.com/

    Enter the coupon code "ICEISHOT" or "MUSICA" or "JURY" and you get professional hosting for a penny.

    Good luck!

    In fact $7.50, free domain, php 5, cgi, python, ruby on rails, 70,000 mb webspace, host unlimited sites and if you use my coupon you get 80,000 mb instead

    coupon code cust12535

    I also took the netfirms plan to take advantage of the free domains but there are some limitation like in the use of .htaccess or sites to be hosted. :rolleyes:

    hey, i got a better idea... join a ppc program like adsense and the traffic you're seeing should be able to pay for hosting easily... :)

    He`s not 18 :)

    About the hosting ... i`m gonna signup with servage.net also probably ... from what I saw they got a good offer. It`s somewhere around 37,5$ for 3 months (setup fee included) or 45$ (no setup fee) for 6 months. If you got those money i would say it`s worth it.

    I had an exchange of emails yesterday with them and they replied quickly enough to both emails that I sent. They seem to have good customer support.

    Ryannnnn - who did you go with finally? What made you decide for your final provider?

    I am looking for somewhere to start a few simple sites with and currently looking for a good and decent provider and so far I like what I have seen with servage.net.

    thanks

    We went with hostgator using the coupon SitePoint I think it was, either way. The hostgator support we recieved was amazing.

    Thanks Ryannn for your post. Just before your post I had decided to go with Servage for a short while. Lets see how it turns out.

    thanks
