is this host legit

I have been wondering, because there prices are very very low
I would love to buy hosting from them, but I am a little unsure



it does look tempting - with things like that I tend to live by the saying... "If it seems to good to be true, it usually is"

Does ukhost not allow you to upload a board,
well i would imagine so rtm223! you'll have directories there to do that yourself if you wish, its just i would'nt know how.

I'll let people know how it goes with that host - but I don't have too high hopes
that would be good rtm223.

BTW always strikes me as strange how the verb "to skin" in the real world means to take the skin off, in computer terms means to put a skin on something


:D yea, strange is internet stuff right enough rtm223.

musik hi,

I agree and err on the cautious, be interesting to see what the others think.

As someone who has tried some of these kinds of hosts I've found they dont last long because they dont make any money and hosting costs for the person running things is not cheap. I now use powweb because they are so reliable.

It comes down to the question of whether you want cheap and nasty hosting or pay more and get what you pay for ;)

Just because it is cheap it does not mean it is nasty. I have been with yrhost (http://www.yrhost.com) for quite a while now, and i have found them to be extremly reliable and excellent value for money.

The expensive are not always the best either.

However i do admit that it is always best to be cautious, but if you dont try it out you will never know. And may end up paying more then other people

Looks good tone but as i don't use credit cards i'm afraid i could'nt go with them..shame it does seem ok too, i would have gone $25 dollar one cus i have $20 here i'm not using at the minute...should get it changed back again.
:)

ukhost will accept a chq also they are in the uk in Fife, so i think decision is made for me..sending the chq today, hope to be up and running by mid week...probably sooner!

Musik - I just had a look at powweb and that looks like a pretty sweet deal to me, about £50 a year. Can you pay monthly or is it one of those deals where they advertise price per month then expect you to pay for the whole year in advance....

Back onto the cheap and nasty topic, is there a simple awy to monitor down time on your site? Ie requesting a dummy file every half hour or something?
Any programs that will do this for you?

ahhh yes suzie, 2 years at $20 is far better than 1 year at $6.95 :lol:

Anyway, why are hosting plans so much different in price? I was looking at wiserhosting who do a year for £20. Then I looked at the "99.5% uptime". Just did a quick sum - thats the best part of an hour down every single week lol.

Is that what you are paying for with the more expensive ones? Better uptime, and maybe more control over what you can do? I don't really know I'm just wondering...

when I get the cash

:shock:
dude thats lets than a fiver! You can't be that hard up?

As I said before, just host some stuff on there that you don't care about for the first little while, rather than waste time taking your site down transferring accross and then maybe having to move it all back again in a couple of weeks because this host turns out to be crap.

I think I'll be getting one of these accounts just to see.


haha
its not that
I need to get a bulk sum together, then open a bank account, then wire it to paypal

there is a lot more i need to consider

also
ukhost comes with cpannel, that is a great feature, and a great way to install scripts for your site

and the fact that you can install phpbb2/oscommerse/IPB and more with the click of a button :wink:

nucleo,

I gathered this:

So is it a coincidence that jc-host.com is registered to a "Jack Collier" ?
but i saw nothing else really to get me to move to that host ! other than them saying its cheap, but whats cheap, i could buy a fur coat at a second hand shop, falls apart next day..well it was cheap lolol but if i go to harrods and buy a simular fur coat i can guarantee i'll have that coat for many years to come, hence "you get what you pay for".

Who's jack Collier anyway lololol
