I guess this is a help support thread so..
I've used Google.
They all require verified Paypal.

So the requirements of the host i need:
Non-verified Paypal purchases (without this don't even post)
99.99% uptime or higher
free domain (optional)
5$ a month (+/- by 0-4$ accepted)
You must have tried it(or currently using)/own it.
Hosts 2 domains or more.


Benefits?:
If i like the host, i'll register. For your company OR under your affiliate link.

It's a win/win!

HostGator, i heard it accepts non-verified paypal. Can anyone backu the information?
It's my last resort as it is not cheap 🙁.

I would recommend HawkHost... It is in your price range and accepts unverified PayPal according to here - http://www.hawkhost.com/Paymentmethod/paypal

We are hosted by them here and they are an established, very fast growing host which has been around for many years.

I was just browsing them and browsing through HostGator, very good but.. although it is in my price range, i found cheaper. And i know i can find cheaper here on FP.

I kept the price between 1-9 just to have a sense of the expensive companies whom i may turn to if cheap ones aren't what i am looking for.
Thanks for your suggestion, may consider.

I can offer you unlimited everything for $5 month. Including parked domains. It does not require verified PayPal either.

http://diamondhostings.com
I saw that website before writing this thread. It doesn't seem fully functional.


Oh wait, did you edit something in the website? The content changed. Let me have a look.

Yes, I have just finished editing a few templates.
Will then, just a few questions.
If i buy a hosting package, can i upgrade later to another hosting package?
What are the duration(s) of the hosting package?
When can i upgrade? (Any time of the month, end of the month, end of the 1st hosting plan..?)
How many members do you have?

I see that you don't have a 1-click installer. Does your host have any issues with WordPress? (Weird to ask but better than buying and asking afterward)


Very interested in Diamond Hostings, i'll just wait for a couple of others. If nothing beats yours, i'll pick you :yes: .
 
Ok.
You can upgrade, yes.
The durations are lifetime, but you pay monthly the price stated on the order form. The bandwidth resets every month.
You can upgrade at any time.
We have Softalacous if that's what you mean.

Thanks for the compliments.
 
It is better to consider the quality of a host, how long the host has been around and so on and not really the price. More often then not, if you want reliable hosting then you have to be willing to pay a bit more.

I have seen many hosts start up and offer hosting and disappear soon after or change a small amount and can't afford to pay their bills.
 
I would consider Empire Hostings. They have been around for a while and have very cheap hosting. I used them for my first site and of course, I had a lot of questions and they answered everyone thoroughly. One time I accidentally messed up the site so much, I needed a back-up and I didn't have one so they backed everything up for me. In addition to great support, they also have had very few down times and were back online very quickly. I highly recommend them.

We have been up for about 5 months and we shut down for a complete redesign. We are now reopened and ready for clients 🙂
 
I wasn't specifically referring to you but alot of hosts that are started by members here do end up closing or even worse suddenly disappearing.

You're welcome!

I meant if i can buy annually or semi-annually but monthly is fine.

Softalacous is awesome.


As Fowler said, how reliable is your host?
Budget? Uptime guarantee. I did request for 99.99% or higher.

Refunds available? Age?

It's a risk i have to take 🙁.
I don't like settling but with the budget i have...
But thanks anyways, i'll try to have a bit of cheap and reliable 🙂.
