ne1 no anywhere to get cheap but decent web hosting?

ive been using hostgator.com

I have the 'baby' plan for $9.95 a month (i also used google to find a coupon that made the 1st month like $0.01) and i have 2 domains and like 4 or 5 sites hosted on it..

ive had no problems with them at all.. all my sites load much much much faster then the old host (pope's wonderful IX lmao).. of the 1 or 2 times ive used the support system, i marked it as not being urgent and i got replies within like 10-15mins and they actually just recently upgraded their plans to more space and more bandwith..

no shell access if you need that.. but its got cpanelX (i just wish cpanel would update and use the latest awstats) and you can do cron's.. etc etc...

some basic info on the 'specific' server my stuff is on

• Linux i686
• Kernel 2.6.17.6hg
  
• Apache 1.3.37 (Unix)
• Perl 5.8.7
• PHP 4.4.4
• MySQL 4.1.21-standard (unless you request 5 i believe)

thats exactly wat i was looking for. all the other ones i found u could only host 1 site off of. i need it for school so 10$ isnt bad at all

[diamond-optic]

well im not sure exactly which ways it can be set up...

but when i registered the account i used the teamcdrive.com domain and thats like the 'main' domain of it..

then i added an 'addon domain' for my other one.. but it also made it so it can be accessed thru like "newdomain.teamcdrive.com" as well as "newdomain.com" i found how it added it to the teamcdrive.com domain to be odd. but im not very experienced in hosting multiple domains..

but it all seems to work fine lol..

I've got tons of space on my server, and as long as you provide your own domains I can give you some for freeness.

godaddy.com and I've tried them all. (lol IX)

I'm paying $6.95 for their delux plan. 1000gigs up/down. 100gigs space. If that doesnt sell it to ya, 25 mysql databases, and unlimited domain aliasing. domain aliasing is where you can host multiple domains under your plan, sharing your accounts space.

I host about 6 sites on the account, and its solid. Havent had any issues so far. One downside with domain aliasing is email addresses., you can set up email addreses on your 'main' domain only. Another down side is restoring databases. You can only restore up to a rediculous 2mb's. If you email them and be nice, they will restore it for you if its larger. Control panel is custom. It's not the greatest, but everything you need. 404 pages redirect to godaddy.

They may have a few cons, but overall and for the price, it's a great deal. Service has been excellent. Very large and reputable hosting company.

I also work for a very large interactive company in Toronto. They all use godaddy.

Hosting is crazy though. I hate it. Since there are 700billion sites offering this service, its a pot shot. You might get lucky with joeblowshosting.com. I use to use ixwebhosting.com. They offer some solid packages. What sold me on them was that you can add 10+ domains with unique ip's, not domain aliasing, shit loads of databases, and everything else. It was to good to be true. It was true. The one thing they didnt advertise is its slower then a snail in a race whos got an IV of thc in his arm. So you never know what you're gonna get

Goodluck!

[mein gott]

I use godaddy for my militaria store, they used to be good, until they piled about 35 other users on the mysql system that I shared, now the store (osc ommerce based) take a fucking age to load...

Im moving in 2 months
