ipowerweb SUK!! they are constantly having mail server issues that cause mail not to get sent or come thru and now their ftp server went flaky when i asked them about the fact that to send mail using their smtp servers u dont need to be authenticated they said "we thought it was too much trouble and didnt offer much protection (against spam bots)" :wtf:

Could be that you get what you pay for. I don't know how anyone can run Web hosting at $7.95 a month and do it well. My partner used to have a sign saying something like: "Fast, Cheap, or Good. Pick one" http://www.webhostingtalk.com[^] is an excellent resource for checking out hosting companines. And I can personally recomend Ventures Online http://www.venturesonline.com/[^] (Woops they start at $7.95 too. :-O ) Currently run approx. 6 sites with VO. One day I want to move to a VPS/VDS, but VO isn't competitive with this at present. Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. Free Trial at www.getsoft.com

Hmmmm....sounds a bit flaky to me.:~ They probably tell the people that they sell your email address to: "And we don’t even block spammers which means that you can send just as much crap as you want through our email servers. ;);)...pssst, don't tell our customers ;)"

I used to use ReadyHosting.com but they had problems with their ASP server all the time and their servers were inaccessible from some countries like Turkey. I switched to Hostony.com and I am extremely happy with the service. Their support is the best support I have ever seen. Most of the trouble tickets are answered within 30 minutes. They have 24 hour live support through ICQ and AIM. I didnt remember any server crashes for the last 6-7 months. All in all, I strongly recommend Hostony to everybody. PS: They offer a special deal these days. If you are planning to change your hosting company, you shouldnt miss it... Mustafa Demirhan http://www.macroangel.com

Hey, you could always get 15 or 20 CP members to go in togther and get a dedicated server and share the costs. They one I just got has 900 Gigs of bandwidth, 1 Gig Ram, 60 gigs storage running on an AMD 2 ghz with Windows 2003 server (not web version) with no setup fee and $140 per month. Even with just ten members you pay $14 per month and have 90 gigs of bandwidth and 5 gigs of storage each. Rocky <>< www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com
