Web Hosting

Bagpipes5 · 02-09-2002, 06:00 PM

Hello. I am the commissioner of TFBL. Unfortunately our web hosting company has shut down and flown away overnite leaving us homeless. If you know of a good web hosting service or have space we can use I would appreciate it. I can be reached here or through e-mail at rickherrerajr@hotmail.com. Thanks.

Rick,

The best pay hosting service I have found is <a href="http://www.thehostfactory.com" target="_blank">The Host Factory</a>

9.99/ month gets you plenty of space for a league, plus that includes LOTS of add-ons like message boards, free email@yourdomain, MySQL, banner rotators, and many, many more. Gil, the owner, is a great guy and really helpful if needed.

From experience I always reccomend Affordablehost - <a href="http://www.affordablehost.com," target="_blank">http://www.affordablehost.com,</a> people there are very helpful, and you can get a decent account for $50 a year.

Thanks guys.

Cooley had a great idea, but heres one I have, if you want a domain go to Below10Host.com you get sub-domains, pop e-mail, PHP, CGI, etc...

You name it they probably have it. They have three plans all under 10 bucks. It's worth checking out.

i use classichosting.com for the SCBL, its fast and $9.99 buys you plenty of space.

Tresclub · 02-10-2002, 02:27 PM

I use <a href="http://www.powweb.com" target="_blank">http://www.powweb.com</a> , and for $7.77/mo, it's hard to beat.

PCCline,

The Host Factory has everything you mention and alot more, I just can t remember all the features. It will be hard to beat this service.

CommishJoe · 02-11-2002, 05:31 AM

I will not comment further, but the Host Factory screwed me pretty bad a while back. There is no way I could suggest them.

Cooleyvol · 02-11-2002, 06:07 AM

There are two "The Host Factories"

One is at <a href="http://www.thehostfactory.com" target="_blank">www.thehostfactory.com</a> and the other is at <a href="http://www.hostfactory.com" target="_blank">www.hostfactory.com</a>

I'd be willing to bet that the one you speak of is not the one I use as I've had NO problems whatsoever from them. Its a small company and the guy who runs it is VERY helpful.

CommishJoe · 02-12-2002, 06:06 AM

The Host Factory was the one I used.

Cooleyvol · 02-12-2002, 06:52 AM

Never had ONE problem with Gil at all. Im PLEASED with the service myself. No server problems and any help I need is easy to get from him.

CommishJoe · 02-12-2002, 07:02 AM

Well, I won't air dirty laundry out here. My main reason for posting was to let everyone know that I had MAJOR problems with them. If you'd like to hear more specifics, contact me privately. This will be my last comment on this subject.

Qrashman · 02-13-2002, 09:22 AM

<a href="http://www.arivoo.com" target="_blank">www.arivoo.com</a> is what I use. Great customer support.

Bagpipes5 · 02-13-2002, 09:25 AM

Well thanks for the help everybody. I fortunately got my problem resolved though. Apparently my hosting service decided to do a server migration this weekend and failed to tell anybody leaving me in the dark until I could contact them this week. Now, after 5 gray hairs, I'm back in business.

Guys just a general question here on web hosting. For a league just starting out would it be better to go with a Free Web Hosting service?

With that in mind are there any Free ones even worth the hassle?

Thanks ahead of time.

Bagpipes5 · 02-13-2002, 01:52 PM

It's probably a good idea to go with a free service at first and if you are willing to spend the money on a hosting service and domain name rental you can take it to that level when you feel the league is ready. No reason to buy a domain name right off the bat though, build interest in your league and then invest your money wisely.

For my personal site I use <a href="http://www.34sp.com" target="_blank">http://www.34sp.com</a> -- $16.80 a year, great site.
