A month ago, I would try many different cheap hosts. Most are a waste of time and money. FYI: Hostgator is running a surprisingly low server load, on my fast new account
Cheap hosting has its drawbacks. I tried a few of them a while ago, and I found all of them very unreliable.
Hmmm, I wouldn't be unreliable. I just want to know if you would buy it. Say it had like 99% uptime would you?
ya, it's cheap all right. someone was giving me previously unlimited space unlimited datatransfer free domain etc....... for just $5 a month. but then it's still available now, hope i take it some day. ya if you are asking, i would say go for it! try it, if it's not good then forget it. after all it just $3 to risk.
You know yhe say you get what you pay for why be cheap when whit 7-10$ you can get a great trustfulled deal ...
you get what you pay for...my advise is to get it from a good company that you know others are using...thats how I found mine, and its only 5$/month.
In my opinion an important factor is the customer service. Try to send an email or fill contact form with some query, to check his service.
go with reliability over cost. If your site is up and fast all the time, you'll make more money, and the cost of hosting will be negligible
sorry for that post, i thought you are asking, to buy a hosting in $3. anyways, if you really want to sell your cheap hosting, here is a few tips from me: go to google and search for "cheap hosting". and related keywords. then check out the results that come. am sure a lot of cheap hosting forums will come in the search results. join those forums, and post that you are giving a cheap hosting plan. tell them you are reliable. and you have lot's of coustomers and give them all your features. am sure you will make a lot of money! enjoy.
I appreciate that the OP is researching prices but it's not just the $3 It's the time to move a site onto the server And to move away again it the host turns out to be a problem. I don't know what you guys charge your time at (internally, not real $) but the hosting cost is only part of the equation.
Your host might guarantee 99% uptime but that is their bandwidth, not your server. When you start taking customers that put dozens or hundreds of various scripts on your box you most likely will have downtime. Scripts get hacked, people use up all of your CPU, too many MYSQL querries and that crashes. It is not as easy as the host having 99% uptime so you do too. Good luck with it though. Cheers
buy from trusted, reliable company..one of my friend faced the problem when bought from non reliable company and then the company closed down.
