Anybody know of a good place to host/create a website that doesn’t cost too much and doesnt require knowing code to create? Just need a simple website design. Thanks.
www.rentacoder.com You can get someone from india to make it for cheap.
interesting…do they host it too?
You can always post that in your ad, but you are better off using bounceweb to host it. I have a coupon code that I can give you to save you some $$. Or if you really want I can host it on one of my accounts. You can pick from bounceweb, dreamhost, a-plus.net… I am not sure if I have any others out there at the moment.
Thanks alot man. Ill get back to ya real soon. Just finalizing a few things.
lol @ bounceweb…
is that why NYSpeed has trouble staying online these days?
Do yourself a favor and find a host that doesn’t offer unlimited storage and bandwidth. You’ll thank yourself when you have a lot less problems.
Liquid web is top notch. I use then for my sites.
VPS is what I use, though their shared hosting is supposed to be good as well. They don’t overbook servers and support is great too.
i can host it for you also. 
We have problems staying online?? That is news to me, and I bet that I am on here a hell of a lot more than you are.
Dreamhost is the bad host. Bounceweb has given us ridiculous levels of service, I have nothing bad to say about them.
Unless you have an uptime monitor pinging the site every minute or two, you can’t really say for sure. There’s been a couple times in the past month or so when I’ve went to visit the forums and they weren’t working.
Bottom line: Any host that offers unlimited disk space or bandwidth is a joke. Until the unlimited hard drive is invented, it’s simply not possible to offer truly “unlimited” disk space. Same goes for bandwidth. You could theoretically use about ~3000 GB depending on the hosts’ connection and the number of users on a server. Not so unlimited. Also, I hope you read their Terms of Service well before signing up. Most “unlimited” hosts tend to kick customers to the curb once they exceed certain CPU, memory usage. Which is why nobody will ever really be able to use “unlimited” disk space or bandwidth.

I agree about unlimited hosts usually being just oversold companies, but where did you get ~3000GB, that’s only ~30Mbps. My other company offers shared plans starting at $50/yr for personal, and $100/yr for businesses. We’re launching a new website in the next couple weeks. We also have VPS/cloud coming very soon.
This new host seems good to me. A few days ago i thought my internet went down, but nyspeed still worked which was stupid strange. I just figured hotmail, aim, facebook, myspace, ub, and ecc websites were down as well as the cod4 servers. but nyspeed still worked.(i have shitty dsl)
Last month there was 4-5 times the site was down…
Well, I suppose you could use a lot more bandwidth if we’re talking about serving large files, but for a forum like this with no streaming video, audio, etc, you are limited by the amount of CPU/memory you can use. The amount of traffic you would need to use that kind of bandwidth would pretty much require the user to be the only one on a server. And with shared hosting, any company that allows that to happen is going to go bust.
But yes, some unlimited bandwidth hosts will allow customers to use a whole bunch of bandwidth for large files, but only the really big ones that can afford to take such a loss. And usually, they’ll make up for that loss when it comes to support, which for 9/10 companies, is outsourced crap.
Any host that offers those “unlimited” services (or any large overselling) is just hoping that the customers never use that space. And usually when a customer does use that space, they look for a way to give them the boot via certain clauses in a ToS agreement, which nobody ever reads. So then the question is, why do these companies offer disk space and bandwidth amounts that they can’t support? Simply because most people seeking hosting aren’t educated in this kind of stuff. They see big numbers and “unlimited” and think it’s a great deal. What they usually don’t find out until later is that these hosts are often more unreliable (uptime, server speed) and lack quality support.
All of those “unlimited” bandwidth companies have fine print in the ToS…However depending on where you colo bandwidth is stupid cheap now a days…
Yeah agreed. I don’t offer unlimited for just that reason…I’d rather have good support and good uptime. Most of my customers are realistic about what they need too.
uptime ftmtw!!!
18:28:25 up 945 days, 8:55, 1 user, load average: 0.15, 0.16, 0.12
(one of my shared servers)
Props to that - it’s nice to see another host focused on quality over quantity.
Most of my boxes are in the 100-200 day uptime range, but that’s because I usually have to apply kernel updates (they are VZ nodes :(). Oh well…
That’s cool man. I’m bringing up a new cloud node this week, hopefully as soon as they release the new version of software. I’ve got a bunch of room for colo if you’re interested.
