if there were free hosts like that, no one would pay for hosting. ;)

Good luck finding one that has all that , and not 100 popups too.
You're better off spending $7.99/mo on hosting and get all you
need and more.

you talkinga bout my link?

I am with them now and it's pretty good :) The downtime isnt that bad and it's never for long. Plus it's a small company and your questions get answered right away on the message board. Pretty cool for sure

no, lycos.co.uk has free hasting with PHP, but it wont last long like all the other free hosts. Just a warning, it will just stop working some days.

yeah, but is that right? am i missing something? you really get all of the things listed, 100mb space, and 4gig transfer for $15 a year? no hidden fees or anything?

hojo, sorry. I wasn't responding to your post! I hate it when I do this! I only read the first 2 posts then reply and it confuses ppl! Sorry hojo, but I agree, that plan looks phishy, If not.. I'm changing! Because RackNine hosting is down now, and it has been down for about 3-4 days.

that hosting looks incredible, they seem fast from what i can tell also.

looks like on april 1st they're changing the $15 a year to $20 a year. but again, i dont think that all of those things they're saying are coming with the "value plan"

March 23rd, 2003, 01:23 PM
I think this is going to be me pretty soon with that host:

Look at their add features!!!!! Soooooo cheap! With my RackNine hosting that is brakeing down all the time I get less than the "value plan" for the price of the Standard Plan!

How do I switch hosts though? (and keep my domain?)

i'd think you could just backup your files on your current host on your computer, then just upload to the new one via their ftp. your domains even easier, when you sign up they have a spot for you to put your domain in.

if you order from them put kirupaforum.com in the box under "How did you find out about Dr2.net?"

March 23rd, 2003, 02:22 PM
alright, awesome.

half of their website is down, I wouldn't purchase anything from these people unless you know for sure that they are legit...

Alex
March 23rd, 2003, 02:28 PM
i agree with jubba, i wouldnt want to put my credit card out on the internet. so do a back ground check on the company. and make sure that they are really worth it.

hojo
March 23rd, 2003, 02:32 PM
they're moving to asp right now, so thats why things are down.

sureshot uses them as a host. i just bought mine and hope to have it up soon.

March 23rd, 2003, 02:43 PM
yeah same here.

Guys, I have it. I have used it for 2 months now - they are legit, and they are good.

If there is down time or going to be downtime you can read about it on the boards there. The mods are helpful and the guys who run it constantly post on the boards helping members out. It's great - I recomend it.

If you do sign up could you tell them that www.sureshotgraphics.com referred you? Thanks ;)

March 23rd, 2003, 02:52 PM
man! lol i just put down Kirupafourms...but can i change that?

SureShot
March 23rd, 2003, 02:54 PM
I guess - if you use the boards... just let someone know.

I get no respect... :)

mdipi
March 23rd, 2003, 02:58 PM
i didnt know what your site was :) i will find a way to change it. but what FTP should i use?

nobody
March 23rd, 2003, 03:10 PM
dippy, get WS-FTP off download.com
its not pretty or anything.. but it doesnt need to be.. im guessing they are all pretty much the same anyways.

later versions of windows have built in ftp browsing capabilities, just put in the url in address bar
