Staggering

edited May 2007 in Chit chat
WebAxxs (who host the YSRnRY, and very well too most of the time) have introduced a new package.

For years I've been paying $16/month for 400MB webspace and 8GB/month bandwidth.

Look at this: www.webaxxs.com

For $6 or $7 a month, you can now get 5GB of webspace, and 50GB of bandwidth a month.

*boggle*

How things change...

    You may want to look into switching over to hostmonster.

    Nah, I'm happy with WebAxxs - I'm the faithful type when it comes to companies that are reliable. Even the $16/month was nothing considering the £/$ exchange rate.

    Blimey, they look rather good. 3 terabytes bandwidth a month? (And SSH! Ruby on Rails! Javascript! MIDI! Actual Spectrum Screenshots!)

    ...but I'm a bit suspicious of any company that won't give you any actual prices until you've started signing up.

    Hmmm ... they used to display the prices. Anyways, here are the packages:

    3 & 6_month: $7.95/month + $30 setup fee + $10 domain fee =$135.40
    12___month: $7.95/month + no setup fee + no domain fee =$95.40
    24___month: $5.95/month + no setup fee + no domain fee =$142.80

    I think you might have to pay the lump sum up-front. The obvious best package? The 24 month one, if you have the moolah.

    Plus your personal information is not disclosed, i.e. when people "finger" you ;-) ( for registrant info.) they have to go through Hostmonster if they need to get a hold of you, unless you want to disclose that.

    I've had no problems with hostinguk.net. That's as much of a recommendation as I can be arsed to give.
