I have a number of hosting accounts for my blogs, but have a varied level of reliability and support. My maximum budget is $40 per year. I will not pay more. If you provide a good service (which is really not that hard, just deliver what you promise), then I'll renew. Here's what I am after, please post your offers below. I am after 3 accounts in total on different ip addresses, but haven't yet got domain names for them. 50 to 100 MB storage space (don't need much) 3GB Transfer per month At least 1 MySQL Database Email forwarding Cpanel preferred Must have great reliability. Not interested in percentages unless you can prove your claims. Downtime is fine, but more than 12 hours a month will not be tolerated. Am fed up with 4 day downtimes. Support. If something's not right, I want an MSN contact or email address that is responded to. So if the server goes down, I want to be able to let you know. Only queries I raise will be server related. I also need to know the ip address, please post or PM. I want a good range of ip addresses. Thanks! Dan

Thanks for the offer. However, I did request 3GB transfer. Are you able to accomodate this with your $39.50 a year package? Dan
Thanks for the suggestions guys. You are at the upper end of what I wanted to pay, but you certainly do look reputable and reliable. Just a couple of queries to be answered. As above, can you offer 3GB transfer?
Unfortunately we won't be able to offer 3GB transfer in that package, If you need more transfer you will have to opt for our next higher package with 5GB monthly transfer.
Fair enough. Was hoping for a deal. I'll sort out some domain names and also wait for some other responses.
74.200.193.254 To: 74.200.193.260 500MB Space 5GB Bandwidth [P\C\M] cPanel/Fantastico Unlimited Domains to Host Unlimited Sub-Domains Unlimited MySQL Databases Unlimited POP3/SMTP accounts 24x7 Live-chat, Email & MSN! I won't lie, I had a 14 hour down time a few days ago, one of our hard-drives failed, however no data was lost and we before that have had no down time. Fast servers in Equinix. No site, (we are still making it, expect it to be out in a few days.). $39.95/Year
Well we won't be able to offer 3GB transfer in copper package in the same price. The cost of extra monthly transfer would be added. So I suppose opting for the next higher plan would be a better choice.
i can provide you with what you asked for (100mb space/3gb bandwidth/mysql/email/cpanel) for a small sum of $5/month. my vps is managed by my host, so if it goes down, they are instantly working on fixing it. Longest downtime ive had in the year ive had the VPS was 9 hours due to hardware failure.
Thanks for the offer, but its more expensive than I am after. I'm after a maximum of $40 per year. Thanks anyway!
Assuming there is no hand holding outside of our normal support, we can do this for $40/yr. If you are interested, check out hostdrive.com We've been in business 10 years, own our own facility and servers and offer great support. We can offer everything you need, save for Cpanel. Let me know if you would like to sign up. Feel free to email or PM me. Thank you!
Hi Dan. I can come up with a custom solution for you to suit your needs. 100meg disk/3Gig for $10.50/3mth paid by paypal. Will provide all other requirements. Now yes, I do have downtime, but as I run my own sites on the server, any downtime hurts me a lot in lost revenue! We always act promptly to restore any outages and provide email support. Additionally we provide SMS number so you can contact us 24/7/365 if you notice a problem before we do. I only have 1 Cpanel server at the moment and I have 5 IP's so we can meet your need for 3 seperate IP addresses. Our longest downtime in the last 18 months has been 7 hours, and our wost ever month was 2 outages over 1 hour. Please let me know if you want further info.
