Cheap fast web hosting...

[SALTY3142]

Trying to root through all the spam ones and such on this site...can anyone reccomend a fast, reliable and cheap hosting company? thanks!

Try 100webspace.com

They have a free plan that has small banner ad + google ads - (seems to have grown in size). Its free, 100MB storage, 3GB data transfer. You need a minimum amount of traffic or it will get deleted after a certain time - check terms and conditions.

I switched up to the free plan - no ads for $0.99 US per month - $12 bucks a year is fine for the service I get. It's been great for me as I use it for only a Coppermine Photogallery for family and there is not always sufficient traffic for the free plan w/ads. You can add storage extra 100 MB for extra $1 if needed.

The control panel is easy to use, support even provides help to the free accounts. Been using them for 2 years now. Occasional downtime, but rare. Always fast servers.

I am surprised that I have been with them this long - normally these free webhosting are not worth it, but this one actually has worked out to be just what I need and I don't mind paying the $12 / year for no ads.

Cheers.

NetFirms _BLOWS_

Do not go with them.

They totally block outgoing connections from inside of their shell, and you cannot FXP to them.

Even though it was only $10, they still suck

I have a reseller account with Canaca. Setup was a pain, but once the server got rolling, I've had absolutely no problems of any kind for over a year now.

I've been with the company for nearly 10 years. I just change my hosting plans as my needs change.

I have a reseller account with Canada.

I know you mean Canaca, but that's a really amusing typo

I've just signed up for 3 years with godaddy. Sure its not Canadian but for 1.99 for a .com domain I figured why not? I just redirected my .ca to my .com. they charge me 6.50US a month for 100GB storage and 1TB transfer per month, plus they support PHP, mySQL, etc...

Seems like a decent deal to me.

Pretty reliable. Had one shortage for a day, but they had emailed me ahead of time of the event and was due to backup problems, like others as well.
They offer 24/7 tech support, i get my answers in like 2 hours flat.
