    Info One of the best Hosting Companies - Dreamhost

    Just moved my hosting over to www.dreamhost.com absolute bargain!!

    You get:
    20gig of Storage
    1TB (thats 1000gigs!!) of Transfer a month
    3000 POP/IMAP email accounts
    Unlimited MySQL Databases
    and to top it off a free domain name!!

    for $119 a year (£62!!)

    Plus if you sign up using the promo code DREAMCODE you get even more of a discount. I have no idea how these people can offer all of this at this price but I'm well impressed!

    Sounds oversold to me... if everyone on that one server were to use 1000 gigs traffic a month and all their 20gb space then it would pretty much be unmaintainable...

    Id treat this one with caution guys - being an ex webhost myself.. i took pride on not overselling services - we had a set amount of customers per server and even though it meant our monthly price was higher, it ensured reliability on our side and speed/efficiency to the client.

    Had to compete with these kind of questions from customers, you get what you pay for guys

    This is exactly what I thought just before I signed up, so I proceeded with caution and read up on forums first and everyone seemed happy enough with the service.

    I have now been with them for nearly a year and have had no problems at all, and Im raving even more about them now coz they have just doubled the bandwidth to 2TB and disk space to 200gig!!! so Im more than happy

    If you sign up with the code THEFULL97 you get $97 off, therefore the package costs you $22.40

    Unfortunately we don't appear to have received your fax. A transmission
    error may have been to blame.


    Please re-send the fax at your earliest convenience and we'll be able to
    get your account activated in no time.


    Thanks,

    Brett
