Does anybody use datapacket.net?

[sweethorizons]

I'm looking for a new host because I'm going to be starting up a new domain soon. I was wondering what are the experinces people have had with datapacket.net? Have they been good? What is the tech support like? There pricing is really reasonable and I just need to hear everybody elses opitions.

I won't go with them if I am you.

If any host can lie to you and say they will give you unlimited bandwidth then sorry the host should be just ignored. What kinda features and bandwidth do you require?

 

[sweethorizons]

well

I went w/ hostrocket.com for one domain I registered today (www.sparkledreams.com)
Then I went w/ tacidblue.com for my other domain I registered. You can't beat the price. I also have them for itsalladream.net and they are great. But we have three accounts w/ hostrocket @ my house. They are the best. I highly recommend them.

Hostrocket is ok, but not this one.

what exactly is wrong with datapacket? Their unlimited bandwidth is not actually unlimited???

 

[Brianb]

DPN does not offer unlimited bandwidth. You quoted the dialup terms. See http://www.datapacket.net/terms.htm#hosting

Reasonable bandwidth varies depending on how heavy the site uses scripting. Bandwidth is not monitored nor limited only shared server resources such as cpu and memory. 20-40gb is easily achieved even on the lowest package.

This bothers me: they're using the same welcome graphic as Yahoo Mail.

Damn, those girls get around.... Someone mentioned another site where they appear too... I wonder if Yahoo knows how popular they've become.

 

[brownpau]

Well, to be fair, maybe it's one of those freeware graphics.

 

[Technics]

I've got that Graphic on one of my Graphic CD's.

 

[brownpau]

Now, why the heck is a high-profile web service like Yahoo using royalty-free graphics for their layouts?! I can understand int he case of DataPackets, but Yahoo?

Sorry, I'm going off-topic.

That's pretty cheesy if Yahoo's resorting to using public domain graphics on their sites... But then again, it looks like they don't spend a whole lot on web design anyway... Their site looks like it hasn't been updated since the early 90's!... Looks-wise, anyway.
