Thread: 9,000 MB Space Hot!

Hi alfakir,
This is most probably a scam or overselling of resource. Imagine if they use a 80GB HDD, they can store maximum 8 clients on one server. That makes 8 x $6.95 = $55.60.

Do you think businessmen will make loss in business? Certainly not. The possibility is, they are using a low end server, which is cheaper than $55.60/month. The second possibility is they are overselling the resources. Say, they accept 20 clients on one server. That makes $139/month (still less for a good server) But this makes one user can use 3+GB (you can't use the whole 80GB HDD)

Therefore, my advice is, if you pay peanuts, don't expect to get gold.

Thanks.

hi michaelfoo,

thank for your opinion, i'm just surfing and search realible hosting. how about this?. have anyone try it?.

http://www.dh2.net/

can i trust this offer?.

Hi,
Frankly speaking, I have not even heard of their names before. But anyways, since you want reliable host, you should consider the following hosts:

Local companies:
ipxcess.com
webserver.com.my
emerge.com.my
ultraunix.net
nerraw.net.my

Foreign companies:
webvisions.com (the largest provider in SG)
iwi.com.sg
rackspace.com <- highly recommended!
unitedhosting.co.uk <- reputable company in UK

Hope that helps.


p.s.: For your information, cheap and reliable do not come together.

Indeed, they are mad overselling their resources which they expect you to use less than 1GB our the 9GB allocation.

Of course, you can take the risk that they will not terminate your account by the time you have ultilized 50% of the given resources. They might just say that you are using too much of RAM/CPU usage which they could not handle you anymore and advise you for a dedicated server or VPS.

I have read too many such scams around, and beware, even though its cheap, doesn't mean you can exploit them because in the end you are the one who get burnt Its just less than $7, yet you get it burnt.

Haha... that's right. Listening to our brother Whei Meng's advice won't be wrong

you're forgetting our gracious host - exa-bytes.com.

ipxcess sucks... tried them.. hated them

Hi yjonkawaii,
Oops... yeah, I forgot Exa-bytes. Sorry.

Anyways, mind telling us why you don't like IPXcess?

Thanks.

Hi wheimeng,
Indeed. But don't you think it is good for him to share his experience with us, so that we can improve our services?

Hi alfakir,
For your information, it costs nothing to post a comment/rating in findmyhosting. I hope you get what I mean :P But anyways, I wouldn't comment much about their services since I have not used it before. As usual, you get what you paid for
