  I’m totally satisfied with my hosting at… Google.

• http://alomoris.wordpress.com Yadhav

  I prefer my WordPress Account Because It’s Really Easy To Use though we can’t add javascripts, plugins or flash files

• http://sozzz.net Sun

  interesting.. this seems like a review in itself..
  till when is this offer valid? im interested.

• http://yudzisland.blogspot.com/ Yudz

  you gonna pay $100 next year, did you know?

• http://www.yashvinawootar.com Yashvin

  @Yudz : Yeah, I know.
  But as I mentioned, I have been to the no1 ranked hosting, and everyday I had issues with them, for $5?
  I prefer paying more, and have my blog running all day long.

  Anyway, Check out the price if you take for example 2years, then gonna be
  1st year : $10
  2nd year : $120
  Total for 2 yrs : $130
  Average for 1 yr : $75
  Average for 1 month : $6.25!!!!

  Isnt it nice???

  @Sun : Don’t know exactly since it is still valid.
  Even when I took it month ago, the date was extended continuously.

  @Yadhav : Too bad, limited plugins and themes… without forgetting a customized domain name

  @Carrot : Google Rulz!
  I wonder why Google hasn’t any hosting offer yet
  I guess Google want you to use only blogspot, its personalized pages, picasa, youtube, but no ‘hosting’.

  I have 7 websites hosted on DreamHost now. They seem to have those $10 offers quite often.

  I have had some problems though:
  -They took 2 weeks to process my request. I had to contact their support and then my account was activated
  -My site has gone down 7 times: 3 times some guy was hosting a file sharing site on the same server as me. The other times were various problems I don’t remember
  -I can’t edit my php installation (or something like that) (I don’t know much about php btw). I need to increase the max upload size for my websites(the limit is 7mb). According to what I read, I need to change a value in a file called php.ini(whatever that is). However I can’t do this as I’m on a shared server and only the administrator has the rights to edit this file. (It realy sucks as I have 2 scripts on my website, Chevereto and AjaXplorer, in which I need more than a 7mb upload limit)
  -Speed when uploading by SFTP is sloooooow
  (I should mention that DreamHost support has been very helpful and friendly when I contacted them)

  There are some things that I really like though:
  -One-click installs(I can install WordPress, Drupal and many others with a single click, even the MySQL tables are created)
  -Friendly and helpful support(as I mentioned above)
  -Intuitive and easy to use interface for management(the dreamhost panel)
  -Auto configure domains with Google Apps for Your Domain

  I think it’s really worth it for $10

  @sjdvda :
  On the day after I purchased my account, their panel was down for nearly half day.
  It was very discouraging, but later on discovering their status blog I found out that the team kept all the users updated about each of their crash on their servers, and also, any maintenance plans.

  After this incident, I never faced ANY other problem with them.

  As for your php ini file, as far as I know, you cannot change it since you are on a shared server.
  However, for normal users, there is no need to change the values there.
  But as you said, there is a limit on the upload capacity, and I guess these values are set for everyone as a FUP LOL!!!

  Slow ftp speed? I never experienced that.

  Their support is very friendly indeed!!!
  Its unfortunate that they don’t have a live chat support system

  Its really worth the price, even if I have to pay more next year.
  But as I commented before, even by paying more, the price will remain around 6-7$ per month…

  Hip Hip Hip Hurrayyy for Dreamhost!

  Hi Everyone,

  I just wanted to know if fodyhost.mu is a reliable hosting company? Anyone had experience with them?

  Thanks.

• http://www.yashvinblogs.com Yashvin

  @Zorro : I haven’t any experience with that mauritian company and I haven’t come across anyone using it either. Sorry for not being able to advise you.

  I got the best deal at a reputed hosting company $3.99 per months with 2 dedicated IP (and oh unlimited space, domain the usual stuff)

  http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.dspmain

  Actually I then took the Unlimited Pro plan for 2 years that gives 3 domains and 15 fixed IP’s along with a friend.

  Lallmatie.com is hosted on Bluehost however. Been with them for over 3 years already. I have friends hosting at IX Web for 4 years.

• http://lallmatie.com/blog bhoot

  Just checked Fodyhost.mu I think it’s not hosted in Mauritius. Fodyhost.mu IP is 72.44.90.251 which is in Michigan, USA!

  I know only about ISP’s that do web hosting here. If you know anyone else who does, drop me an email. I’m looking for local hosting for two projects currently.
