Hey guys,

So it's my buddies friends hosting company but never have actually tried it so curious if anyone here has ever used them before?

www.donbiz.net

If so what do you think of them?

No... not me...

So are you wanting feedback because you're considering using them? Or just link dropping?

If you're looking at using them, explain more about what you're looking for as it will help get you some useful responses...

What exactly are you trying to host. How much space and bandwidth are you talking here?

Such information is needed in order to make a somewhat decent evaluation.

I will tell you however that I have never heard of them.

Just visited their site.

Overselling at its best.

$3/mo. for 10GB of storage
100GB of transfer.

Either that or on a resellers account on a server thats being oversold.

Not so sure it's a good idea to run FP on linux servers anymore? MS EOL'd that a while ago meaning it's an accident waiting to happen - and to make it even better... they host at TP Without knowing any more about what you're after or the company in question I'd suggest there are plenty of other providers who can do a better job for you.

Of course, if you want to pay the cheapest price you can get I guess you can probably get a discount from your buddies friends mates hosting company?

I've heard of the website before but how customer service goes I have no idea. Good luck if you decide to go with them.

Meh I was just curious about them, good or bad reputation, etc.

I'm always looking for new hosts since I'm always using new hosts.

Isn't that a little bit tedious to be constantly moving? What's the reason behind it?

Try to do own surway on it. As rule whois service on domaintools gives info about number of web sites hosted there. So they are approximately digits. But that mightb help you.

It's an interesting idea, but keep in mind that it only shows you domains using those particular nameservers which can give you a wildly inaccurate picture; for example we have a number of different nameservers that our shared hosting customers use, and others such as VPS's / dedicated servers use different ones again. Also some customers may choose to use external nameservers provided by their registrar or similar. Oh, and of course if the host in question doesn't use their own nameservers you might have fun trying to find a reliable starting point

It's an interesting way to get some indication of the number of others using that same provider (those nameservers anyway) but to be honest the number of people using a given provider has almost no bearing on service quality - some of the largest hosts in the world also have the worst customer service and server performance...

Well I use 2-3 different hosts quite often, just because I've had good service with a few that I've started to really like. I hosted myself for a while but had to get a new server so can't at the moment.

My buddy hooked me up with his friends hosting, he's letting me host a small site of mine free with his hosting company to try them out, I'll post back good or bad though when I do it.

I googled a bit but i don't think they have a lot of customers.
Looks like overselling to me. 100gbyte bandwidth for only a few dollars.
You could try it for a month. $2.99 is not much.

Honestly, if your looking to just find a host you can stay with, I don't see why you just don't look for something that offers a little more quality.

I have never heard anuthing of this conmapny before. Are you going to sign up with them?

i would say, they are underselling
which is even worse than overselling

underselling...?

no, not 'underselling...?'
just underselling

Can you please explain to me what underselling means?

100GB of transfer. is still overselling. And underselling is generally thought of as a good thing, as the resources one is allocated, and more, are always there for him to use, as opposed to overselling, where the resources one is allocated may be used by other customers, at a given moment.
