HOW TO CHOOSE A WEBHOSTING SERVICEFriend told me to use THEIR WEBHOST for my websites. 5$ a month. That
was its name, too, five dollar websites, or something, can't recall if it had a FIVE
or a 5 in it. I append info on it below, but my memory doesn't serve so I cannot
find my own company that I use online. MY FTP software can find them instantly
as it's loaded... But there are others that are cheap like that.However 5$ was a great price and I wanted a 2nd site so I wrote my tekkie pal, the expert.
"Say, you're the expert, how about a CHEAPER WEBHOST maybe GoDaddy.com
which is a dollar or something. The Tekkie winced. "Anita, your material
is a little on the edge for them. You talk up guerilla capitalism, how to
laundery money, how to marry a billionaire, holistic medicine, every one of those
things is going to ring bells over there and GoDaddy penalizes you big cash and
cuts you off, both. "They use extortion-like methods. Say that someone
complains about your site, they disable it and hold it for ransom. Gotta
pay them $200 to get it back. That has happened to quite a few
people.Most of the cases I heard of involved spam complaints. And they
weren't even valid complaints. But that didn't matter. With GoDaddy, if
someone complains you are presumed guilty. And there's no reasoning with
them. Like a robot, all they can say is "WE TOOK $200 out of your bank
account, fool. Try gettin' it back, huh?."It doesn't have to be spam complaints, though. If you have what their
president considers to be objectionable content on your web site and
they find out about it, they could hold your domain name for ransom.
Lots of people like GoDaddy, but I won't do business with them because
of this." Well I talk about GUERILLA CAPITALISM, HOW TO MARRY
a BILLIONAIRE and all kinds of EDGY STUFF so that wouldn't do for me!
But probably it would be OK for you. Get back to me on what they charge now.
------------------Now, I LOVE http://www.5dollarhosting.com 5$ a month, 60$ a year, endlessly
big websites. I have used one there for 5 years but I was hoping to pay less and
have it be a name I can remember. So that's when another pal told me
she'd been with drak.net for 7 yrs, perfect experience. 3$ s month, 36$ a year though
they doubled their prices recently. Used to be if you wanted 3 websites price went down
to 5$ a month for all three. That is less than 2$ each website per month!.
Well, I wrote them a letter at their website. THEY ANSWERED ten minutes later.
I realized that they do something NO HOST
DOES. THEY ANSWER immediately. Females own/ run it and they are GREAT
and very attentive online TEKKIES 24/7. Perhaps that comes from it being
an all woman staff owners as women would never hear you talk and not respond.
They structured their mode of operation.I wrote them an email and within ten minutes, owner
had written me back. Then we proceeded to have a conversation
back and forth by email so man, rather WOMAN, THIS is a great bet!
But the man who answered a few weeks later was rude as sin and
told me prices had doubled. So I am NOT going with DRAK NET,
So I don't know where I will put my next website
I'm currently thinking of names for it. FRUGAL LIVING.ORG
HOW TO MARRY A BILLIONAIRE.ORG
