Hi all, I am thinking about using a host called BigHost. They are offering me hosting for 5 domains, a free domain, unlimited space, unlimited bandwith for upfront payment of $33 for 1 year. This seems pretty reasonable. Does anyone have any feedback either positive or negative? or do you know of any better deals around? Thanks Steve
The best thing is to google for their reviews. BTW tell the exact url because by goolging i found this : http://www.google.com.pk/search?q=B...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Thanks no69, I will check out some reviews. Sorry I got the name wrong it is actually HostBig , I can't put the URL , the forum will not let me ....lol. Still, if any one knows of a better deal please let me know. STEVE
Do you know how much space and bandwidth you need? Always better to avoid "unlimited" providers and go with a reputable one which provides what you need.
$33/year for unlimited? DO you really believe that? I'd recommend you to check for more reliable hosts. Their reviews are mixed
Thanks for the replies, I have checked a few reviews and I think I will take your advice. I will look into more reliable hosting. It sounds a bit dodgy!!! Thanks again Steve
Never ever go with unlimited space or bandwidth. there is no such thing as unlimited. although there is unmetered bandwidth. and the price does not look realistic.
Look at your current usage and double it at least, triple is even better because coming half way through the month and running out of bandwidth is probable the worst thing you can do for your website!
new players can provide good service , as host gator and big companies are not responding properly to their customers.
unlimited bandwidth but not fast to access that not godd for your web and SEO, so try web with premium web and you can get fast access your web
Hostbig Hmm Unlimited $33 annually WOw I know you thought that when you saw that Dont do it trust me when I say this although they say unlimited its not unlimited there are limited especially with bandwidth what will most likely happen is the host with have a limit to connections as well as a monthly usage amount and your diskspace well lets look at this do you really think that anyone can offer unlimited diskspace I mean come on I cant imagine that they could afford to continually purchase disk drives to sustain unlimited beside that how many racks do they have cause when they run out of rack space you run out of diskspace lol. I can see unlimited somethings like email accounts ftp accounts maybe mysql these sort of thing are more realistic not diskspace / bandwidth
The thing to keep in mind when looking for a new host is: You get what you pay for. Are your site/s worth the risk of some deal like that? Go to bed one night and everything deleted and gone in the morning...
If you are planning to choose unlimited hosting, I suggest you to read the TOS of the company very carefully.
