My ISP Must be Crazy - Part Trois

[johno]

No, no huge increase in storage or bandwidth this time.

A new account, teaser 25% discount rate, that lasts for a full *year*.

	Beginner	Home	Business	Developer
Cost/Mth	$2.24	$3.74	$7.49	$14.99
Storage	5GB	50GB	100GB	150GB
Bandwidth	250GB	500GB	1TB	1.5TB

New accounts only, unless you are upgrading.

No discount for me, I already have a Developer account.


Blatant advertising plug. All the links to 1 and 1, include my affiliate link, so that if you use the link and purchase an account, I get a commission. Thanks.

almost switched over to them but you have to go for the developer to get asp.net ... and that is to pricey... sigh.

Where'd you see asp.net on there - the comparison chart, or elsewhere?

[corwynofamber.livejournal.com]

went to the the site and looked at the features comparison chart

Ah. I was looking at http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/HostingOverview;jsessionid=7A62739B4AE2FA1627603613E447D797.TC61b?__frame=_top&__lf=Static - different packages.

I'm considering new ISP's so I took a look. This is web-hosting blah blah blah, isn't it? What ISP do you use?

1 and 1 as linked in the main post.

I don't use 90% of functions they provide.

What I do use is 4-6 GB worth of photo storage and spiky bandwidth.

I also host 3 other sites, besides my own.

For a single person wanting their own domain, email and some web space, the $3 or $5 a month accounts should be more then suffient.

I have been using them for over 2 years and never have had a issue.

The only issue is when I have technical questions, email is slower but better, as phone support is outsourced to pure script readers

Man, that Business package is very tempting. (I'd go with Home, but SQL database is for the win.)

Would you get more commission if I bought at a non-discounted time?

[johno.livejournal.com]

The commission is less then 5%, so there would be hardly any difference.
Save yourself some money and sign up now.

Okay, I looked again and still didn't see it. Their FAQ notes they are not an internet service provider, though, which is what I'm looking for.

At your home, how do you get to the 'net? For my mom's place I had dsl through an independent company using SBC (now AT&T) lines, but now I want other options. Well, not dial-up.

Sorry, ISP vs hosting...

We use Comcast cable modem service, into a basic wireless router (talk me or your other geeky friends about making it secure first) to share the connection between multiple systems. It has issues, but is mostly stable.

Speakeasy gets high marks from lots of folks.

I have friends who are complaining bitterly that their DSL now sucks after the merger of SBC & ATT

No religious wars now.

Unix vs MS


{grin}

[grimmtooth.livejournal.com]

Dude. I wouldn't think of it.

I was totally gonna have a Python vs .NET war instead.

But seeing as they don't SUPPORT any Python frameworks (just cgi) I'll save that war for another day :)

Re: Not geeky

Thanks for the suggestions, especially Speakeasy. The dsl I have at my place (AT&T) is actually okay for now, but I'm not a heavy user. Since mom's place (which will be used even less than mine) is available to get another service since we quit what we had, I'm lookin'.
