Yep, Guess i said that part. Forget Dreamhost, Servage, other oversellers. The really cannot give that much specs at those prices.Aberforth said:If you want good hosting, stay away from 'too-good-to-be-true' offers. Don't join any offers which make you go for a yearly contract or give you significantly lower prices if you join for a year. You could end up regretting if services don't work and since you have paid up you'll have to stick to them for a year or the time you joined for. Forget guarantees, a lot of them are too cumbersome to be actually called guarantees.
I have had experiences with Site5 and asmallorange personally.
Site5 offers good bandwidth and size limits but could be useless if you have a resource intensive site as it might exceed CPU and RAM resources. I had good experience till my forum really began to grow. If you have a mainly data transfer site (download+upload) with minimal use of RAM and CPU resources you can try them, they're still one of the best for services (except the overselling part)
Asmallorange is the one I currently host with, doing that for the last two years and because of their prompt service (telephone or email, both are good), relistic plans, customization and scalability options for future growth kept me with them. I started out from their $ 10 a month plan and due to growth and need for further customisation, ended up with VPS plans. They are quick to response, very little downtimes (I never noticed more than 6 mins a year), fast servers, their own datacenter and all support and services under one roof.
Keep to Linux if you don't need ASP and .NET hosting, saves money, time and energy with optimal security and uptime.
You can buy it from the hosting companies itself but make sure you own the domain (Whois records must be configurable by you and you own it). Also make sure it is not locked and can be transferable in case things go sour. If you want Indian companies (for that feeling of security which doesn't really exist) try Indiatimes Domain.
You can pay using a Credit Card, you dont need Paypal Account for that but Payment will be processed by Paypal. I suggest you open a Paypal account thoughOk guys, last few questions.
Can I pay through credit card (I dont have a paypal account). Also how do I pay directly for 3-4 months, there's only an option for monthly payment + domain.
Thanks
@siddhart, Ive tried manashosting, its ****

Honestly, DREAMHOST or any other overseller cannot give 100GB and 1000GB for like 7-8$. This is something .....NOT GOING to happen. When you use like 5% of the resources..BOOOOOOM! ACCOUNT Suspended. REASON : FAIR CPU USAGE POLICY.
Paypal Invoices - If you want a Invoice sent to you each month and you pay manually, clicking the link in Invoicehitman050 said:So do I select PayPal Invoices or PayPal Subscriptions as payment method. Sorry for these questions, im a real noob

Strange, My Paypal is working absoute fine. I suggest you open a Paypal Account....would help you in long runSukhdeep, is your Paypal transfer working, as Ive entered my credit card about 10 times, but it doesnt work.
Guess, you are lucky and Dreamhost is creating some market reputation after some bad reviewsas speaking for DreamHost... I dont quite agree.... I have filled up 25% which running a php torrent srcipt... No objection came...
