i don't have experience with those two host. But perharps you can try MyAcen . I have nice experiences with them. Great cost, great support, and reliable servers.

Hope it helps

Umm, it would help if you told us what you are getting with those packages, and they are pretty steep prices. I would have to agree and say go with myacen, they are the talk of fws.net

Well two major things to look at BANDWIDTH

The first plan says unmetered, that is a way of deceiving the buyer in to thinking unlimited, unmetered can mean and probably does, we don't care how much bandwidth you use, but if we notice there is a lot being used will kick you off, and in a lot of cases charge for re-activation.

As anyone will tell you here that knows something about hosting. They will tell you never trust anyone with unlimited bandwidth. Also you do realize that 2gig of transfer is pretty much nothing considering they are giving you 500mb of space. Go with myacen, even though there site seems to be down grrr! I would have posted one of there deals

Thank you for the input. I will try the URL again in a day or so. Is there any other good hosting services out there? I'm pretty new to web hosting. I've been checking around but they hand you a list like I have shown you and well, your eyes pops up out at it. anyways thanx

There has been a lot of talk about cyberwings also They seem to have VERY good deals. Check them out, or look for some threads about them here you'll find info, Im sure someone else will post with a bunch of reccomendations besides me

Out of those two, the second one. Unmetered usually means unreliable.

 

[biosphere]

Or you could try....

Dixiesys

I've been using them now for a couple of months, and still haven't noticed any downtime.

And about all the talk about "growing pains"?? Well, I moved from a normal hosting account to a reseller account last night. It took 2 hours before I had an email from Gary with my new account details.

Gary's raised the prices, but seeing how low they were before, that's almost a sign of good health!!

You still get 200MB space/3GB transfer for $39.95, or if you really want that extra ooomph! - you can go for 400MB/7GB for $99.95.

Good luck!
