ollie Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I just signed up with GoDaddy.com last night. Super cheap prices for the amount of stuff you get. I paid $75 for the year, 100GB disk space, 1000 e-mail addresses, unlimited domain management, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_llama Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 (edited) Earlier this year i transferred all of my websites to dreamhost.com, and it has worked very well. I have them all on one host instead of paying for each site separately through my old host. Site performance is good and there's a dumpload of space... they just raised their storage on their most basic plan to 200GB. There are tonnes of coupon codes around too... here's one to get their basic plan for $70 for the whole year: YEAR4SEVENTY In the past I used totalchoicehosting.com and was very happy, so if you don't need a lot of space you can probably get a bit cheaper hosting there. But dreamhost lets you host unlimited domains on one account which saved me money in the long run since the other hosts I've tried only let you have one domain attached to each hosting monthyl bill or whateveredit: if you are going to register a dot-ca domain name, the cheapest i have found is namespro.ca and their support is really good too (i just had a email-fest with them about transferring domains to them and they were very fast and friendly in responding) Edited October 11, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've been using Lunarpages.com and have no complaints. They might be a little more expensive than those other guys, I guess it really depends on what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 www.doteasy.com is cheap and Canadian.depending on what you want they've got a great basic package. If you own your domain name already you pay an initial fee (I think it's $40.00) to set up the DNS, but after that it's free.. and ad free as well!You get 10 email addresses, 100mb of disk space, 1gb/month data transfer and full support.It's not exciting feature wise but depending on what you need it may be perfect.You can get the same deal but purchase your domain through doteasy.com and only pay the domain renewal each year.

canadianphan Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I set up my site, BNB, RFASP and several others on clickhost.com for 6.95/mth. Good service bassed in Kitchener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you would do with that though. Edited October 11, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 yeah.. that's not much disk space at all in the grand scheme of things.. but depending on what you are trying to do you can't beat the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks guys, I'm glad I asked here. I'm going to check them all out although the package I'm looking for has to have pretty high transfer/month rate as well as tonnes of storage (mostly for ftp rather than web page really).

bouche Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I used to run this site on shared hosting (shared with hundreds of sites) and the performance was completely unpredictable. Other users would crash the server quite a bit.that's the only thing you need to watch out for with godaddy and webhost4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth the investment I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 A dedicated IP address isn't the same thing as dedicated hosting. I think it should be dedicated by default. Webhost4life gave out static IP's by default.dedicated hosting is quite expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's still cheaper (for what I get) than any of the other hosting companies I researched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
