I'm looking for a host that is inexpensive and reliable. I plan on making a bunch of small sites, so obviously I don't need like unlimited space & bandwidth. I prefer hosts that cost less than $5 monthly, and allow you to pay monthly instead of annually. Recommend me some hosts? Thanks. P.S. They must have a site too.
Hey Dan, Your recommendations are very small indeed & I would be more than happy to say that Shared Webhosting would be the way to go. As you said your requirements will not need Unlimited Space or Bandwdith which is a good kick, I would recommend MDD Hosting as a top host which I host my Forum with & they are very good. Their prices are not less than $5.00, However, If you are after a reliable Host under $5.00 then you may want to look for Resellers or even the oversellers. Most hosts are reliable excpet for your one-night-stoppers in which take and run, This is why I would always recommend you do some research into a Host before making a purchase to avoid such mis-fortune as it does hapopen! As far as your options go, Many hosts will allow Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually & Annually Payments So that would not be a big issue. However, Some hosts do offer a percentage off on Annual hosting. Again I emphasise that you do some research before making an order to save the hassle of running into trouble. Good Luck Sean
If you are ready to spend 6.99 bucks a month, nothing can beat doreo.com Thay are famous for their reliability and uptime. And they also have an option to pay monthly, quarterly or annually. I guess this is the best host you can get as per your requirements.
I would recommend LytenHost's Mini Reseller plan for your needs. They have proven uptime (on site) and very reasonably priced. http://www.lytenhost.com/mini.php
Considering they oversell & the OP stated - so obviously I don't need like unlimited space & bandwidth. then I do not think that Just Host would be his rightful choice. @Scoopy, Why does the OP need a Mini Reseller Plan? He can use Add-on Domains to add his projects or use them under sepertate folders or Sub-Domains in a Shared Account?
Yes i also had bad experience with unlimited host that give e a lot of down time. You can try this cyberultra.net
That reseller plan allows up to 25 domains hosted for $5.33/mo... whereas, similar priced plans with places like godaddy only allow 1 domain. And the OP did state, He don't have to resell hosting plans... he can keep it all for himself
One of your requests paying monthly instead of annually generally costs more per month and sometimes their is a setup fee.
Thank God people are finally begining to get over the "unlimited space & bw" thing. @op, try some hosting directories like hostsearch.com, webhostdir.com etc.
Hostgator's Hatchling package cots less than $5. I personally use them as my site's host, but unfortunately, I have seen some downtimes in their hosting. My first few months at hostgator were perfect but just recently, I have seen some problems. Anyway, you can consider hostgator as an option.
to be honest, I guess if you run a website that depends only on seo content like articles and needs not too much space, my favorite is hawkhost.com . For jsut 3.95 they offer a support system that responds within 5 minutes and can help manually (cause their a small company with not so many users), the system never failed, 3 GB disk space ,30 gigabytes of transfer, unlimited MySQL Databases, unlimited e-mail accounts, included fantastico , etc. The cpanel is basic, just like at hostgator, also has an affiliate that I never used... and you can pay via paypal, credit card , and some other options. But if you have a website that needs really much space , just use hostgator.
namecheap is a domain registrar and offers host for about 2$ ... but it gives it like that only to domains bought on their website.
