Hosting question

[borgBOB]

Hey, I use Hosting Lite, Shared Hosting Package and the Customer service and price are terrific.
They have CPanel, which will auto-install SMF via an applet called 'Fantastico'

Created all the MySQL databases, and lots more.

3 packages available

Package 1) Disk Space: 500 MB ; Data Transfer: 10,000 MB ; Price : $2.99 USD   

Package 2) Disk Space: 1000 MB ; Data Transfer: 15,000 MB ; Price : $4.99 USD   

Package 3) Disk Space: 2000 MB ; Data Transfer: 20,000 MB ; Price : $5.99 USD   

Also have unlimited; mySQL Databases , FTP Accounts , Email Accounts , Subdomains

borgBOB, I have the same with http://needhosting.net/
But Im being stupid today, whats the conversion with mb and gig? lol

[IchBin]

basically 1000 megs = 1 gig

[borgBOB]

pengi, here are the deffinitions, from a google search.

According to the Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary, a megabyte means either 1,000,000 bytes or 1,048,576 bytes.

A gigabyte (pronounced GIG-a-bite with hard G's) is a measure of computer data storage capacity and is "roughly" a billion bytes. A gigabyte is two to the 30th power, or 1,073,741,824 in decimal notation.

or,

Megabyte [ 1,000,000 bytes OR 106 bytes]

Gigabyte [ 1,000,000,000 bytes OR 109 bytes]

So a GB is 1000 times bigger than a MB

But I am paying $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year, not starting at $10.99 per month and $125 per year

[borgBOB]

And to be perfectly honest, I went with a 'Power Reseller' package that gives me:

Disk Space : 4,000 MB ( 4 GB)
Data Transfer : 30,000 MBÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  ( 30 GB )
Price (Monthly) $6.99
Price (Annually)ÃÆ'ââ,¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ,  $69.99

Getting 1 GB more  of storage, and 10 GB more of bandwidth for $10.00 per year.

lol bob, I read that soooo wrong oopsies
I get your point now, but I still doubt they put nearly as much customer service into it : X And their servers dont have alot of space, I think I will stay with mine, but its cool you found one that cheap

BorgBob, that sounds great. If I don't hear from the other arctichost , I will try this one.  Bloczone needs a new home.

[pengi]

Yes I will poke some fun, but mostly I have some questions.

Bob: Did  you see this on their page?

HiyaCorp Networks launches it's new virtual hosting service. By cutting down on the support, HostingLite is able to provide unbeatable packages that support anyone's needs.

They use Cisco, wasnt that just hacked and does that bear anything in mind to someone thats hosting using Cisco things (not asinine, just curious here) http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050805/wr_nm/tech_cisco_dc
If you can, find out how long they keep backups for & good luck (We all know people in FL. cant count, even though the owner registered the site in TX, I dont think they can count there either hehe)

We (texans) count just fine -- cant speell is all -- Umm 1 chicken 2 chicken darn must have lost the others

[pengi]

hehe You know I just meant with the election and all, and you know, Bush being from TX
No hard feeling, your chickens are just hiding right now b/c its hot outside.
