  1. Having to pay extra for Perl or Python by tepples · · Score: 1 · on Software Engineering Has Its Own Political Axis From Conservative To Liberal

    Say you're selling a web-based application to web site operators, and these operators are using hosts that charge substantially more for anything but PHP.* Wouldn't you have to learn PHP in order to make a web application that you can actually sell to them?

    * Such hosting providers exist. Open this page, click "Linux plan details", and scroll down to "Language Support". Look at how the plan including Perl, Python, and Ruby costs twice as much as the plan including only PHP.

  2. Inconsistent languages are cheaper to use by tepples · · Score: 1 · on Android Jelly Bean Much Harder To Hack

    PHP, which appears to be the only language and community ever to actively hate consistency to the point of working directly against it

    I agree with you. However, PHP hangs on in part because entry-level web hosting plans that offer only PHP are often cheaper than plans allowing other, more consistent languages. Case in point: visit this page, click "Linux plan details", and search for "Language Support".

  3. Cheap web hosting with SSL and non-PHP? by tepples · · Score: -1, Flamebait · on The PHP Singularity

    This web host offers PHP for $5.95 per month or Perl, Ruby, or Python for twice that. It's too bad because otherwise, they appear to be one of the least expensive entry-level hosting services that supports SSL. (Without SSL, your users can get Firesheeped.)

  4. Free instead of $2000 a month? by Dekortage · · Score: 1 · on Should You Break TOS Because Work Asks You?

    The other is, for lack of better words, a "load balancing" part that requires using multiple free accounts instead of purchasing space and CPU time for less than $2,000 USD per month....

    What the heck? How many free hosting accounts were you planning on managing, that you could replace $2000/month worth of hosting? Even maxing out a fully dedicated server comes out to less than a third of that, and I really doubt you would need all that firepower. Some companies cost more than this, some cost less, but either way... $2000 seems like too much.

  5. Simple: hostingdude.com by psicic · · Score: 2, Informative · on Email-only Providers?

    Simple recommendation for op from my experience, use http://www.hostingdude.com/

    I've been with them years. Cheap domain names and ultra-cheap and user-friendly email plans that work with standalone programs or with a web interface.

    Have a quick look at this page that gives a quick overview of accounts available: https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/email/personal.asp?prog_id=register_cheap_domain_names_cheap_web_hosting&app_hdr=&ci=12931

    Reliable, fast (enough) and with all the features op is looking for.

    I notice that their sales page now implies there's no calendar with their standard email packages - yet I have such a package and there is an online calendar app.

  6. Re:Move domains from GoDaddy to ? by hugecabbage · · Score: 1 · on GoDaddy VP Caught Bidding Against Customers

    I've been using these guys for 10 years, and they also tout 100% wind-powered hosting. $8.75+tax for domains EcoDomains

  7. Re:if there was an equal price competitor ... by hugecabbage · · Score: 2, Informative · on GoDaddy VP Caught Bidding Against Customers

    While I can't speak for Site5's handling of domains (I happily get my cheap domains here EcoDomains) I absolutely can NOT recommend Site5's hosting. I've had several sites hosted with them in recent past and the downtime was deplorable, never to be remedied. Finally had to move all my sites elsewhere.

  8. Re:It's a gimmick by deserttrail · · Score: 1 · on Yahoo Offers All-You-Can-Eat Storage and Bandwidth

    I happen to be in the market for a host so I checked out your link. I was a little disturbed by what I saw. Compare:

    https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?se=+&app_hdr=&prog_id=1t611&ci=5652#tabs

    to

    https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?ci=8886#tabs

    Really? You couldn't have ripped off a better looking site than godaddy? Maybe you're affiliated, maybe they ripped you off, maybe it's some cots template... Anyway you spin it, sorry, but I'll be looking elsewhere.
