Stickman Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 As I battle to get my site back up at its previous location, I find myself constantly banging my head against a brick wall with service failure after service failure. The whole reason that it was hosted where it was, is that it was free for me to host it there. This is proving to be a mistake! Anyway, I think the time has come to have the site hosted somehwre else. Does anyone have any suggestions of somewhere decent to put it. The hosting service must be cheap as it is not a commercial site and I'm simply not in a position to pay high costs for hosting it. Stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Stick, Hosting is a delicate matter and cannot be based on pricing alone. Poor up-time for the website -- and it does not matter how cheap it is, you know ;-) I've hosted with Cyberwurx since 1998 - and I HIGHLY recommend them: CyberWurx Hosting (packages starting at 9.95 $ / month) Another reliable: BlueGravity Hosting You can find a full list of hosts at c|net here: c|net : Hosting Providers (this is however hit & miss, IMHO) More on hosting providers (with guidelines, tutorials, interviews etc)here: Hosts4Porn (not in anyway implying your site is, but they know their stuff here & can handle far worse than monkey-jokes ) Good luck!

khunsanuk Posted September 25, 2001 Report Share Posted September 25, 2001 Hi, Stick, if you don't mind an URL like www.nanaplaza.com/stickman, I think we can probably work something out. This site is already pulling 23+ Gb a month, a few more or less won't make that much difference. Up to you. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 The above suggestion looks good to me. If you are looking for something else, I use brinkster for free (www.brinkster.com). It gives you 30 MB. I actually have already four different sites there, with the same e-mail address, seems to be no problem (that is a total of 120 MB) It is a site catering to ASP, but of course you can just post HTML files only. They have a paid service for domain names, that offers 60 MB, at a price of 12-13 dollars per month. There are occasional small hiccups with the free site, however in general uploading files etc. is quite forward and rapid. I suppose the paid site will have less hiccups, and will allow you ftp-uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jai-dee Posted September 28, 2001 Report Share Posted September 28, 2001 Stick, here is an extensive list of homepage providers, with reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 I've been using www.hostsave.com and they seem OK so far. The price is $6.95 per month, no setup fee, and $20 to register your domain name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickman Posted September 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Thanks to everyone for the replies to my original post. As it turned out, I have been made a very kid offer by some fellows from an Internet design and hosting company based down under and with a bit of luck, my site will be hosted with them shortly. Fortunately, it is back up at the old (usual) address, only down for ten days.... Stick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
