Mod Approved Hosting Thread

I realize this is just another thread by GDD, but it's worth it.

I've been making websites on and off for a while now and the company I use is surpass hosting. You might remember them, I jumped on their bandwagon a few years ago when someone posted a link to them because they were offering a full year of hosting for $7.

Well that deal has long since expired. But if you sign up for a plan in February, you can get 200 gigs of space and 2000 gigs of bandwidth for a full year for $1. There isn't a contract, and you can just cancel it in a year (which is what I usually do anyway)

If you don't have a domain, they will sell you one for $16 bucks, but the hosting space and bandwidth is only a buck.

Here ya go

    p.s. I really wish I had some time to devote to a site; I'm just too fucking busy right now; thanks for the tip, GDD. Good stuff.

    I've used them on four websites over the course of 3 three years. I've never ever had a problem with them. They do not have a tech support number, but they have a kind of java chat system or an e-mail support where you can get in touch with them within 24 hours usually.

    They have never had an outage in the three years I have used them, and they never gave me a headache over taking advantage of them and canceling every year after the initial deal.

    I'm probably their worst kind of customer, but they have been nothing but good to me.

    $1power

    Do I set it to the $6/month or $60/yr? Because both do the same thing, but the yearly charge says its $4.11, and monthly says $4.93.

    I'd really like to take advantage of this offer...

    Ok, this may seem like a stupid question but I don't really have any experience with this shit. So first I registered a domain name with them for $16 ( I wasn't sure if the hosting and domain registration could be done all at once or needed to be done seperately). So now that I have a domain name and want to sign up for $1 hosting, I'm not sure which option to choose:

    Register new domain
    Transfer my existing domain
    I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers only


    I'm guessing I want option 2 or 3 but I don't know what updating my nameservers means.

    keith, do you live on the streets? Because, even as a poor student, I can accept spending a fiver more than I might need to. Because, you see, I can just not buy a bottle of wine one time when I might otherwise and make up the cost.

    Well, that $5 means I'm out two comics that week

    I'd rather get my comics and a domain name than just a domain name because I don't want to click onto another site
