Web Services Now Available

[Oscar]

We have added the page for the web services section of our site. The web services are provided by my host, which is a very good friend of mine. We have decided to add this in hopes of people perhaps signing up and in turn helping out this site with their hosting accounts being hosted here. Check out the Web Services page to see the details of this. All accounts are held by www.eznthosting.com and is a very reliable host. Custom plans are avaiable upon request as well. Right now this site uses well over 2 gigs of web space and tons of bandwidth and was able to work some reasonable with him and you can too [:p] So check out the standard pricing or contact him for a custom quote.

Very Cool! Buts its abit of a rip! Even the basic accounts dont even get php? Php is most used and should be included in all accounts

Good luck with it!

Please be reminded, anyone offering any type of hosting for less than $10 a month or claims "unlimited bandwidth" is just a bunch of straight out lies. Thier services are very unreliable, extremely slow...they pack hundreds of sites on one server. I've been there, done that. If you want a reliable website, spend some cash and do it the right way. These deals are good.

You can say that again sr erick...lol

The prices aren't that bad for a windows server. Too bad you don't offer php and mysql. That and it'll cost me an arm and a leg to host there, lol. I'm on a unix server now, 1500 mbs of stoage, 50 gbs of transfer for $20. I had no major problems with them, and there servers are very fast and reliable!

how hard would it be to transfer a geocities site to this?

[Oscar]

it would be a matter of basically copying your files over and if you any forums or such, moving the database and changing your connection strings accordingly

10 bucks and no PHP or secure SSL? I have a free host that has more features then the basic package, only difference is 1Gb bandwith instead of 2 and they use linux instead of windows.

Well, this is professional hosting. We are in for the most stable system and adding tons of features to a server makes it less stable, unless you do certain things for it to be fully stable and guaranteed the best up time. Php is free and is widely used and a powerful scripting language. SSL is hardly used by the novice user, only used in specific situations in which a person wanting to host a personal site or even an ever popular coaster gaming site does not need SSL. That is why we reserve this for more upscale packages. The prices are such for the reliability in the server. Most hosts offer tons of stuff and say they have a 99.9% up time guarantee, which means your site can be down for 10 hours in a month and you still would have 99.9% up time. In which our case, you will never see a 10 hour black out or in total outages in one month totalling 10 hours. We are reliable. This site was down for 15 minutes this past month, most of which was because of my fault in the scripts I used not because of the server, that's how reliable we are and that is the price of good, quality service [:)]

Wow man ... I knew you were talking about this at one point ... how much overall space you got there at the ranch? Whatcha got, a couple of Dell 6400's???

Very awesome service!!

the prices are very reasonable, as windows servers from my experience ARE more expensive than those carring php.

well it doesnt take a genius to install php onto a windows server. And php is free anyway.

Matt, if you are serious about hosting then this is a solution for you, if it's all games, then geocities is fine for someone. This is a no joke hosting setting and is implemented to help our site out. I certainly don't appreciate you demeaning our intelligence here.

looks all pretty nice, 100mb storage, 2gb bandwide.
Sounds good for my own website, but nobody visits that site so y keep it open... My own unlimited GB storage server is broken [:(]

well I'll just leave off saying I wouldn't shoose this for my hosting, the main reason is that they don't offer linux, I bet if you/they were to maybe add or convert a few servers to linux and advertise both windows and linux you would get more clients.

[Oscar]

Speaking from my past experience with other hosts and mainly having to have worked for one of the largest hosts arond named Parcon.net. They dropped the linux / unix part of hosting because due to people not signing up. They have top prices, just they weren't drawing in enough people. That host has thousands of servers and thousands of customers and did away with Unix / Linux hosting. Talk has been there about bringing a few back, but more than likely they wont. I still have contact there with the owner and he knows the hosting business around and made the choice to drop Unix all together. I'll talk to brad but I don't think he will do this.
