Overall I thought it was a very clean site and that is what you want if you are in the web hosting business.

Quote: I don't understand why people always look for the _cheapest_ deal. When people are going to buy a new bed, a car, a TV or even cloths, do they always buy the cheapest ones or do they pay a little more to get one that has more features and is better quality? Most of the people that go for cheap hosting will be back after a while with a lesson learnt the hard way.

I totally agree. You always have to wonder when you see prices that are well below the industry average. Yours seem to be in line with what other quality companies are charging.

Quote: What does seem a little suspicious, and this may have been mentioned before, is the price freeze. Ever hear of something called inflation? It may be realistic to guarantee prices for a limited amount of time (like a year maybe), but at some point you are going to have to raise your prices just so you can keep getting back the same rate in real terms. You might dig yourself into a hole with this one.

You are correct. We do have plans to add to our TOS that the price freeze guarantee will not apply in case of inflation. Thank you for bringing it back to our attention.

the packages seem to be alot of money to me and that is with the set up fee being for free. try lowering the prices a bit.

companyreviews,

Thank you for your review. The reason we're not offering "the world for a penny" is because like many web hosts our servers are not in a low quality bandwidth datacenter where we can get a P4 server with 600GB monthly bandwidth for a little over $100/mo. We are located in the world-class NAC datacenter with truly redundant and extremely fast network which allows us to serve your website with lightning speed no matter where your users are!

Tell me, how many successfull web hosts do you know that offer cheap dirt cheap prices? Most of them don't have a good business plan and that's why they'll suddently disappear after a few months and you'll be back in the market looking for a new web host or they offer really poor support because they cannot afford to hire more techs to handle the demand.

Trust me, for the quality of service we're offering, our prices are very low.

I know they're a little too big (file size-wise) even though I did lower their quality as much as I could without making the images look bad.

If you have a PayPal account, yes you can apply. We will then review your website (just to filter out adult, ilegal and fraud websites) and let you know about our decision.

Abhishek Reddy,

Thanks, will fix them first thing tomorrow. Right now I'm so beat, been working for the past 24hs...

The little dude does look better being smaller. But I am thinking "Oh, my aching back!" LOL

Button looks much better too. I am ignorant when it comes to affiliates so I am not much help there. The networking page looks good. The images might could be a little smaller. If I wasn't on a dial up, I probably wouldn't complain about that though.
