Inexpensive but reliable web host...does it exist?

I have 2 small business websites at the moment...I pay $30 a year for each. They both started out with 50MB storage %26amp; 1000MB transfer. On one of them, I bought 50MB more storage. Domain was/is free.





However, I am constantly having problems with them. The websites will go down during peak hours for no reason, mail service is sporadic, I have deleted 3/4 of my website because they say I keep going over my limit...this is on the 100MB one.





I feel like I should look for a new one, but I really can't spend much more than $60 total a year for the two together. I know you can get multiple domains now under some hosting plans, but by the time you pay for the extra domains, it's not cheap anymore.





Where can I find something reasonable? Having all the bells %26amp; whistles is not a priority, but would be nice.

I use webhostingbuzz.com - it's reliable, and for $3/month you get 30GB space and 1000GB transfer/month. That's a lot better than your current one!





What's more, you can host multiple domains on the one hosting account. (Remember, domains themselves should only cost you $9 - e.g. at namecheap.com).





So, if there's enough space on that one account, you should only have to pay $36/year or $54 if you register for two years.





I've been with WHB for a while now, and they seem to be for real. Good luck!!

DO NOT go thru this company! They don't do domain transfers Report It

Reply:I did bravenet for a year, price vs what you get was not to bad for the mid range paid hosting
Reply:Really a case of you get what you pay for. $30/year for hosting? If it is ever up you are lucky.





I use Lunarpages - has never been down, and I run 5 sites at a time off one account. More expensive than what you are paying, and worth it





Nothing that costs $30/year is going to be any good
Reply:I have around 25 sites hosted with CrystalTech.com. They have simple HTML plans for $2.95/month. They also have a 99.5% uptime percentage, great support and an easy to use control panel.





Good luck!
Reply:Yahoo! Web hosting is great! I love it, and will never use anyone else.
Reply:http://www.JuicyHosting.com is under $5/month, and would let you host both under the same account. they have a great service, http://www.LocoDomains.com is also very good
Reply:If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.





I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.





Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...

They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.


Visit the site to check details.

Does Dreamhost offer promotion renewal codes for customers who wish to re 鈥?register and renew at a discount?

Dreamhost review sites offer a discount code and coupon promotion of almost every description. I am a returning customer and need to renew my web hosting. My free domain is also coming up for renewal. Does Dreamhost offer discount vouchers for customers renewing their hosting service, and does this include a free domain renewal too? If not is there a dreamhost alternative?
Does Dreamhost offer promotion renewal codes for customers who wish to re 鈥?register and renew at a discount?
I would contact them direct for the most accurate response.
Does Dreamhost offer promotion renewal codes for customers who wish to re 鈥?register and renew at a discount?
It would appear that there is some misinformation circulating the


Internet about what returning Dreamhost customers can and can't do.


Some have stated that 'opening a new account, you are not complying


with DreamHost's Terms of Service and may get your account suspended.'


Others seem to think that the initial offer is an act of philanthropy


and comes out of Dreamhost's good heart.





Obviously Dreamhost can charge these promotional prices and still make


a profit, the hope is that customers simply renew at the normal rate


without question.





The good news is that the terms of service state that a customer can


only have one hosting plan at a time. So as long as you close your


existing plan, or wait until it has expired, you can open a new


account.





'8) The Customer agrees to hold only one (1) active web hosting


service plan at any given time with DreamHost Web Hosting. Signing up


for multiple plans is grounds for termination of all plans, including


the first one, without warning.'





http://www.dreamhost.com/tos.html





The steps to renew an account and get your discount are as follows;





1) Save all emails and other web content that is currently hosted


by dreamhost as this will be deleted when you close your account.





2) Close your existing account at Dreamhost :





a) Login to your WebPanel and





b) Go to Billing %26gt; Manage Account





c) Click on your hosting plan and select "close this account"





3) Click to https://signup.dreamhost.com/ sign up using the promo


code RENEW





NOTE: You are not closing your whole account, just terminating your


current hosting plan. This means that you will still have access to,


and be able to renew any existing domain names.


How can legitimate companies with clients who WANT to receive emails avoid being filtered as spam?

We are a gaming company with over 5000 beta signups for our beta. It seems that almost 40% of our emails end up in our beta players' junk mail, unless they specifically add us to their approved list. We are not sending junkmail, but often important announcements. Players are upset they have not received the notice. We have checked with our web host and they have done what they can to assure that all of our settings are right, that our emails aren't sent out in too big a volume at a time, and that we have no bad keywords that should be causing any filter red flags. What can we do? Is there a "secure" hosting service out there that guarantees that its users don't spam through them, which the gmails and yahoos and hotmails recognize as self-policing so they won't filter emails from that host? If so, sign me up, I'll go with any host who can get my emails through to my clients. We're losing a lot of money due to inability to communicate!
How can legitimate companies with clients who WANT to receive emails avoid being filtered as spam?
You will need to educate your clients.


Perhaps when the first sign up for service explain to them from the beginning that they should add your email address to the "safe" recipient list.


Even if it means showing them screen shots and having a whole page on your servers or website to educate them about the possibility of future important notices to be blocked by their spam filters.





Perhaps giving them an option to see the latest important bulletin or announcement on the websever themselves, like a message board or something.


Maybe you should consider setting up a webmail service ( or just an Inbox for messages only) for each of your clients so they can see important emails on the server with out using their own email clients.


Doesn't have to be massive in space, you can make it so they can only hold 2-4 mb of information.


Hosted webdesign solutions (like Brightegg)?

I'm considering using a hosted web design service (www.brightegg.com) as I like the combination of CMS and decent templates they have.





I was wondering if anyone could recommend any similar alternatives? I aware of OS solutions like Joomla, but the free templates I have seen suck quite badly.





With Brightegg I am prepared to pay for the premium templates as it is cheaper than paying for a designer.

You could look at microsoft office live as a viable option, you basically get to build your own site by using various design, colour and image templates, you can also upload your own images and logo. it's easy to use with little knowledge and can acheieve great results!





With the basics package (free) you get:


- Free domain name and Web hosting


- Easy-to-use Web site design tools to easily create and update your own website


- 500 MB of Web site storage space


- 25 company-branded e-mail accounts


- Web site reports





There is also the option to upgrade to Office Live Essentials or Office Live Premium which have more space, more emails, and more tools.

If you plan to have a successful website you do not want to use a template. it is bad for SEO and is just one of many cookie cutter methods that will give you low rankings. Focus more on the server technologies and try getting a dedicated server.
Reply:Hi there,





I must correct the previous answer because it is not true as it relates to Brightegg. As a Brightegg founder, I can give you peace of mind that our CMS and system are built very SEO friendly. Concurrently, are themes are provided by talented designers who only design to W3C standards. We can also modify an existing template to meet your needs for a very reasonable price.





Please contact me directly if I can be of further assistance.





Regards,





Jim Kieffer

Just Google "seo tips".





Google doesn't care (or even know) if your website is hosted on a dedicated server or not. Hosted solutions are fine as long as the end result looks good.

How to i add my site to the dns host server?
There are several things required to host a site on your local machine besides DNS. DNS just does a lookup to send requests to the correct IP it is NOT A HOST!





Here is what you have to have in order to host a site.





1. Web Server on your local computer.


You can use IIS (microsofts web server), PWS (microsofts personal web server - visit Microsoft for details on getting them setup, not too hard but not easy either) or Apache a free webserver for linux, windows, or any OS. Currently Apache is the number one choice for most internet web servers!


http://apache.org you can also find easy to install packages for your computer. Once the webserver is working the DNS will point to that server and it will respond. You do have to have Apache or IIS working for them to send back a page!





2. An established web site for that Web server! You can build one and put the pages in the correct directory depending on the web server you are using. IIS uses a different directory than does Apache so all depends on the web server where you need to load your website!





3. You need to forward port 80 for the web server to work. That also means you need to change your routers default management page from port 80 to something else or it will not forward! You can change your routers port to 8080 or 81 etc using the routers setup pages.





4. You need to be sure your ISP (who supplies your connection) allows you to run a server! This is important because if they don't and you try you will find it simply won't work or you will find you will get dropped and have NO INTERNET for violating the terms of service.





5. You need your DNS pointed to YOUR IP which is all you have setup at this point!





In other words there is more too it than simple DNS entry!


ALL DNS DOES is point a name (your domain name) to your IP! It does nothing else nor can it.





GO to the Apache site, read and re-read it.


Once you understand what is involved you will see why paying a couple of dollars per month is well worth the expense for website hosting! Don't forget if your computer turns off, so does your website, if you cable or DSL goes down, so does your website. AND the outbound speed of your connection will limit the amount of users that can see your website at one time. Generally this is low on most home connections!
How to i add my site to the dns host server?
If you're hosting the site on your PC, then just edit the content on your PC! Make sure that your router is forwarding port 80 to your PC.





Dyndns.com only handles the name resolution for you. You need to tell them the public IP address of your connection, either manually or by installing one of the many dynamic dns monitoring clients on one of your systems. Once that's done, ping your dyndns url and make sure that name resolution is working properly, i.e. that it responds with the IP address of your external interface.





I can't tell you how to edit your content as I don't even know what web server you're running. Read the docs.





And as to configuring dyndns, it's all on their website. Again, read and you will be enlightened.
Reply:You are going to have to call dyndns.com and get them to give you a walk through.
Reply:You need to load and run a web server on your machine. You then need to set up port forwarding on your router pointing to your internal IP address for all the ports you require. You also need to open these ports in the exception list on your firewall. You then place your pages in the document root of the server. Just having the dynamic dns should mean external machines will reach your public IP address, but you can not use it from your own network, as it will be looking at your router from the wrong side. I find dynamic dns very unreliable for this, better is a fixed public IP address, but you need to pay more to your ISP for this. Also many ISPs will not allow you to run a web server, they block port 80 incoming unless you subscribe to a business dsl account.


I have a web server running on my computer how can I HOST MP3'S from my computer *** well?

And reference then in my HTML so my friends can download them?? NOTE: I don't want to use a foreign hosting service
I have a web server running on my computer how can I HOST MP3'S from my computer *** well?
You just link them with:





%26lt;a href="your_file.mp3"%26gt;your_file.mp3%26lt;/a%26gt;





Its like any other link. You might instruct people to right click and have them save the link as a file. By default, clicking on it would start playing it.

One really good, visitor-friendly way to do it? Embed a Flash player that will let people play the MP3's without downloading.





I normally use the Drupal content management system for this, and it's set of Flash tools...

Both are free and if the server running on your machine is Apache/MySQL/PHP then you're good to go.
