Just wanted to show you all a really good website host figured some of you
might be interested. I do realise I shouldn't be doing this but their deal
is so good they look like they're going out of buisness. I've been using
this place for a year or two now, no outages and the admins are good. It's
like $4 a month for 2 gigs of space, unlimited MySQL, 60 gigs of bandwidth,
etc.

Sorry for doing this but I really like the host and I don't know what I'd do
without them lol...

Glad to hear they've been good to you, Zeo. You can see their uptime by
going to http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=ace-host.net in your
Web browser.

Seems they use Cpanel for their control panel (I like Plesk better) and
have at least one server in the GNAX data center (a good DC).

You can find many web hosts (and host reviews) on this forum:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com

Shared hosting, reseller hosting, virtual private servers, dedicated
servers, colocation, etc. -- they are all there on that forum. Just do a
search or look around.

That would be abused so much, unless it has a nice strict policy.

yeah...

"
Q. Are there any other general restrictions?

A. In general we do not allow sites whose primary purpose is file downloads
or transfer. We must have this restriction to ensure that all users receive
fast, dependable service. Transfer only sites put an undue burden on our
servers.

Q. You say that transfer is unmetered, but is there any limit to the amount
I can use?

A. Though we do not have any pre-set limits, you will receive warnings if
your site begins to use over 25 GB of bandwidth/month. If you use more than
this occasionally that is fine. There is never an extra fee for bandwidth
overages. Our policies are different from a lot of other hosts who place
strict limits on accounts. We have been hosting sites for over five years
with our current policies and have not had problems. We feel that our lack
of a pre-set limit is a good compromise between hosts that have strict
bandwidth limits/fees and hosts that have no limits at all. Hosts that claim
to have no limits at all are simply lying or are very new to the hosting
business. So called "unlimited" hosting does not work in the long term.

We feel that our approach is much better. It allows our clients to not worry
about overage fees but also know that their site will always be fast.

Note : sites hosting illegal files, porn, warez, file archives or other
"download-only" sites are not accepted.

We also reserve the right to ask any site to leave that is under the
bandwidth limits but is putting a heavy load on the servers. The bottom line
is this : we monitor our servers carefully. It is very important that every
client has a fast, responsive website. If your scripts are causing resource
problems (too much CPU or Disk I/O usage for example) we may have to ask you
to leave. This is seldom a problem but we do want to make sure we are
upfront about this.

The main point of our "un-metered" policy is to allow us to have a friendly
service where you do not need to always be worried about incurring extra
fees by going over pre-set limits. "

Q. You say "un-metered" POP3 accounts. How many can I really have?

A. A general limit would be 100 to 150. The main limits are that you can not
for instance set up a service where anybody on the net can get a free POP3
through you, etc. The goal of the un-metered POP3's is to allow you to set
up however many are needed for your company, group, etc. Like most of our
other offerings, we do not want to place any hard limits on the number of
POP3's that you may create. However we do ask that you keep your demands
within reason. Also keep in mind the number of messages that each account
will be receiving each day. For example, 150 POP3's that only receive a few
messages a day would be acceptable while 150 POP3's that each receive
thousands of messages a day would not.

If it looks to good to be true, then it is too good to be true. Thats my
motto. The internet is full of scams.

So 25gigs of bandwidth, 150 pop3 and 2 gigs of space isnt still more than
plentiful for $9.95 a month? Yeah its not quite what it says it is, but for
99% of people, it might as well be.

I am going to have to agree with Robbie. I have been with phpwebhosting for
a while now and haven't had a better host. Their support is top notch, and
their prices are to die for.

With what I use/do, I wouldnt live a day with 25 gigs of bandwidth each
month. I eat allot of bandwidth, and one domain alone is taking up 2.2
gigs.. so yes, it's good that I have my own servers :)
