How Can A Hosting Company Give Away A Free Domain Name For Life
May 30, 2008
I am just curious, I know that it is a great customer retention hook, but really, and how about unlimited bandwidth? This is my first post on the forum, and I will be asking many more questions as I want to get the inside scoop before I take the reseller plunge.
At first glance it seems as though the advertising is throughout the site and not just in the advertisement section. I know it's only $7.95, but for life? I guess if they're paying for 2 years at a time, but month to month there is no way. They would end up with a ton of registered domains, and allot of parked domains. Oh well just thought I would ask.

Do you think if a company offered free web hosting and free domains people would snap them up like there is no tommorow?
Also does anyone one how much ICANN acredited registrars pay ICANN when they register a new domain?
any feedback would be great!

I've read articles that said it's generally bad to use the domain registrar as the hosting company(forgot the reason though)Right now I have some domains in Goddady and 1and1, and have a Hostgator account. I am thinking about just using Goddady's hosting service so I only need to manage my Goddady and 1and1 accounts instead of managing 3 accounts.
I am going to use Wordpress.org to build the sites

if I should get my domain separately from my hosting company. I'm going to buy a host gator hosting plan and I don't know if I should get my domain from them too? They charge $15/year for domains. My only problem is that if I have to leave from host gator in less than a year for some reason, will I be able to go to another hosting company and have the same domain name as I had with host gator?

its not actually my domain but the other day an older lady contacted me frustrated because she had lost her login info for her dog kennel site. She tried for over a month to get a hold of the company but no one returns her calls or emails. She contacted me to see if there was anything I could do. The first thing I did was fire off an email and call the number I was given. Left a msg to call me back, waited a few days sent another email and made another phone call...nothing. So I did some sniffing around and found the company had changed names to Black Wire Marketing (from teknon media). So I sent emails to them and made phone calls....it was the same phone system as the previous number.
My question is this, is there any protocol for recovering a website or more importantly the domain, if the hosting company has left town? The original site definitely resembles a flyby night reseller setup and not one that had a lot of thought put into it, wreaks of IM (why do IM people think they make good hosting service providers?).

I have an account on godaddy, with more than 20 domains registered and well, so far i have been in charge of the updates of these domains and the websites they represent. But now I have this customer who is asking me to have access to his specific domain so he can upload files by him self, the thing is that i dont have a clue of how to do it. I tried to create a new account in godaddy for this customer and tried to transfer this domain into his account and I was not allowed to. I cannot give him my username and psw cause he wont only have access to his website but all those i have registered under my account. I will really appreciate some advises to help me work this out.

is there any other free DNS services where you can submit your domain so that your subdomain can be used for DNS (A)? I cant use afraid.org because it needs all 4 of my nameservers and it would be appreciated to tell me how to do A DNS host through my Cpanel webhosting. I have 2 nameserver slots not being used, but somehow when i used 2/4 afraid.org nameservers, my original website stopped working.

I heard that Burst is pretty good, so i had a try to puchase a server from them.
81 hours ago, i placed an order.(received their email)
80 hours ago, I paid the order. (received their email)
79 hours ago, I received their email asing for my account and personal info, in a word, everything except your password. that's fine, I run B2C business either, i know how bad chargeback is. I did, and send it back within 15mins.(BTW I paid with paypal verified though, but I did it as they required) 33 hours ago(48 hours passed, as they said on AD or website, ask us to expect 24-48 hours.) unfortunately, no reply. I received an email that they might take mins - 72hours) that's fine. 24 hours only anyway.
9 hour ago (72 hours passed) i asked when i can get my server. the answer is that "We are awaiting required documentation before we can go forward with this order." I sent it back 72 hours ago!!!. that's ok, there must be some mistake i made. so I transmit the original email to them and reply the ticket with the content of my email.
6 hours ago they emailed back(lucky fast) asking me attachment is unavaliable, ridiculous!!!!! I send them my info with complete text content on BOTH EMAIL AND TICEKET. 6hours passed. no response.
now when I check my order info, the invoice started from 81 hours ago. think about it, if I didn't ask, they'll keep the order period forever, until 30 days passed, i'll get nothing.
what a so-called repution company. it's my first experience on them, but I felt so bad, I have cancel my order, lets see what will happen. I don't want to say this on WHT, however, they always Stimulus my patience again and again.
Cherish life, stay away from Burst.net

I see that with 99% of hosting companies you can create your gibibyte email account (or even bigger). I have, but at one point when you have hundreds of emails, your email client gets really really slow if you use IMAP. Also, the search feature doesn't work very well, you search something that you know should return results but you get no results... If you use POP, you don't have these problems, but you can't access your mails from any computer, as you download them onto your local computer (and your mailbox is empty 99% of time).
In the end, Gmail, which is free, works better than a paid mailbox from a web hosting company because your inbox pops up instantly, when you search something, you get the search results in half a second. And you can use several gigs easily, it makes no difference.
How can I use a gibibyte mailbox with thousands of mails, lots of attachments, with a fast/efficient search feature, and have it working as fast as Gmail? Is IMAP flawed?

after my review of Commit1, I guess they went out of business as I do not see their page up? Good riddance. I never got my 500$ back from Anthony there. (This is why webhosting talk is so valuable, you can see how many people get scammed as I was not the only one)
Burst, has been decent the last year, there is just repeated DDOS attacks where the server would be running fine, but no one could access websites and I could not even log into SSH for many hours costing me a lot of money (especially running ad campaigns etc).
This has happened as recently as a few weeks ago.
I decided I would look for a new host. I picked limestone because of the great plans that fit my budget, with massive bandwidth and an actual 100 mbit port. I was so looking forward to the added BW, until I logged in and the speed was worst than dialup.
The server was quickly setup (5 hours) I was really excited. I logged in and downloaded large files I could find to test the speed. Firefox, drupal, even Ubuntu iso. I was getting ranges from 10K to 40K/s. It was only some sites that were like that.
Wordpress.org downloaded at a very fast rate but none of the others really did that I tried.
I submitted a trouble ticket stating this, what I downloaded and from where. They responded to the trouble ticket by asking me to provide trace routs so they can trouble shoot. I guess that is alright, but what good is providing them my root password in the trouble ticket if they aren't going to use it. I knew I should have paid the extra 25$ for the premium support package.
Then I think to myself "if the connection to my old server is this slow, transfering files from my old CPANEL will take forever." I decide to test the connection to my old server, and none can be found. I cannot connect to my old server at burst from the new one at limestone. Perhaps this is a routing issue, and maybe they will figure it out.
I was very pleased with with Machen in sales. He did an AMAZING job answering all my questions and very patient.
I was also very pleased with the responce via phone to the tech I spoke with last night.
I am also pleased they are actually answering my trouble tickets.
So far this experience is much better than Commit1 and Butst.net. I just hope the routing issue is solved so I can actually test out the server to its full potential, transfer my files, etc
Limestone Networks is looking like it will be good, it has a nice control panel and everything.. I just hope they figure out the network issue. I am not that savey with this stuff, and if they ask me to to anything more than a trace rout I might not be able to do this.
Hope this gets fixed or I may be switching to SingleHop. Their prices are like double but they are managed and guaranty 100% uptime. I was just hoping to save some money.

I will be starting up a new hosting company that will offer free and paid hosting. My question is, should I start out with a reseller, and move on as needed? I was simply thinking of starting out with a VPS, so I could simply skip the reseller part. I read elsewhere that some simply get a reseller and get another reseller when they need it.
What path should I choose. I could always get a VPS later on, but why not get one now? This is one reason I ask, because since reading about the reseller post, I am now split on this.
To note, have used a reseller before, but not a VPS. I do want to eventually learn to run a VPS, so this could be the time to do so.
