website hoster

**B52** · 17-11-09, 06:56 PM

Looking for cheap but reliable website hoster.

Need say 500MB for site, up to 10GB traffic.

Any input appreciated.

Australian or Overseas ? Hosting in the US for example is very cheap compared with Australia. Windows or Linux ? Linux is much cheaper.

For linux I generally use webcity, they have pretty good reliability for the price you pay.

For Windows I use netlogistics as they are cheap for a windows server, but they do have far less reliability than webcity (though this is probably more a windows v linux thing)

My.. (US95$ 15 months) runs out in a month. support is poor, nightmare stories on Google.... I see some Sydney based start at $7 per month. Any advise appreciated.

I see your current host is US based ( their servers ). You mention someone Sydney based but are their servers Sydney based ? At a guess at that price , I would say not.

You could try . One year for $58.56 is pretty hard to beat ( they are running a special at the moment )
Austech use them for premium members email accounts and have for about 4 years. If you use them please consider using Austech's affiliate link which will benefit Austech

I've used a few but nothing comes close to the level of service / dedication and reliability.

Its good dealing with someone who actually runs the servers, than a reseller who is at the mercy of the big fish.

Thanks to Urban for the kind words, but yes I do run my own servers and our own connections and our reliability speaks for itself. Feel free to contact me by PM to discuss your needs and costs etc.

Thanks rank1. I signed up with Webcity (Parramatta server). 10gb space, 50gb traffic, AU6.95$ per month good value.

Yeah, I went with them for 12 months around $55. Read a lot of good reports on Whirlpool.

**cobra679** · 09-01-10, 07:14 PM

at 3ix I was getting 500gb unlimited everything for $60 every 6 months. I think they have changed their plans though so its cheaper and more gb. Worth a look for sure

**admin** · 09-01-10, 07:57 PM
