www.hostezy.com

anyone use them? recomend or discredit them?

they sound too good to be true to me ... so Im reluctant

DO NOT go with either one of them. Hosting companies that offer unlimited anything are unreliable and must not be trusted. If its to good to be true IT IS. I reccomend some of these, www.dreamhost.com , www.dathorn.com , www.hostrocket.com . Good Luck.

Hi Darkorical,

They are too good to be true! Never trust dirt-cheap hosts or "unlimited" hosts. These two hosts appear to be a mixture of both no-no's. Avoid them like the plague!

I would not recommend going with any host that offers unlimited anything. If you read the terms there is always some limitation and often hosts like this will shut down your site unexpectedly if it becomes in their sole opinion to be too resource heavy.

If you want an excellent inexpensive host with great support check out the one I use: http://www.page-zone.com/

They have low priced and high priced plans. There really is enough to suit anyone there.

I've also heard very good things about United Hosting (http://www.unitedhosting.co.uk). Mainly about their reseller account but you could be pretty sure they would be good.

I'd also agree that HostRocket are worth a look. I've been using them for several years.

Just to add to the others, don't bother with unlimited. Unless you have unlimited money, nothing is unlimited

we don't have unlimited space in the unverise soon or later its going to cave in and we are all going to die

so nothing ulimited.

About hostezy.com, I was looking at their stuffs. If they can offer you SSL encryption and all that stuff, then why do they accept payments through PayPal instead? HMMMMMM???? I WONDER???

**conkermaniac** · 04-04-2003, 07:11 AM

Hi WaHoOoO,

Perhaps it's because most people would not trust sending their credit card number directly to a small business (hostezy.com, in this case). Paypal is a large company that has already proven itself as reliable and quite safe, and therefore people tend to trust these services more.

Or it could be simply because they don't know how to use SSL encryption.

**david** · 04-04-2003, 01:15 PM

Just because they have SSL encryption doesn't mean they can accept credit cards. For that you also need payment processors (either an online processing company such as WorldPay (or Paypal) or a merchant account with a bank which provides a credit card machine).

There's nothing hugely wrong with using PayPal, but services such as WorldPay are more likely to be used by reputable companies. PayPal is cheap (free!), but do you trust a host that won't spend $200ish on a more professional solution???
