midnightvamp 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2006 Since posting is required for this great service, I don't mind one bit. Once I start making enough money off my site, that it can support itself being on a paid account, I plan to send it over to Xisto - Web Hosting anyway, because I'd like to stay with this company, rather than find a new one, as I know for me, this has been the best I've even be with.So, alas, I'll continue to post away as once my site gets too much traffic (I could only hope lol) I'll just have to move it up to a paid account lol.Anyway, I can't thank you enough Opaque, for all the wonderful stuff you've done with this service and with us. I put all my faith into you, and know you can do it! You rock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nations 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2006 Just to prove how cheap bandwidth (and even Storage space) really is I went on a hunt for a well known hosting company, this company does not specialize in hosting but a different form of internet business. They can give you the following deal: • 200 GB Space • 2,000 GB Transfer (Thats 2 TERABYTES or 1 million (I think) megabytes)• Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries • No ads• FREE! SSL Certificate• FREE! Google Adwords ($25 credit)This for only $14.99 Month to month or $11.99/Mo if you stick with them for 24 Months.The cheapest plan they have is this:• 5 GB Space • 250 GB Transfer• 500 Email Accounts • FREE! Software• 10 MySQL Databases • 50 Email Forwards• Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries • No ads$3.99/Mo or $3.19/Mo for 24 month.Basically bandwidth is cheap and so is storage space.I won't reveal who this is (they are extremely well known anyway!), I just thought I would post these plans of theirs to show everyone how cheap bandwidth really is.With how cheap these plans are you could easily have your visitors pay for your hosting bill by having Google AdSense setup.Heck, if you need help paying the hosting bills too badly you could do what I have seen most Bittorrent trackers do and have a donation button.Then you simply state (or you can code a chart that autoupdates when you get donations) so far this month we recieved $xxx.x dollars so far in donations, we need $xxx.xx to pay our bandwidth bills!Here is an example from one of the sites I visit on a weekly basis:Total User Raisings: $700.08 (57 Donations with 1 Pending -- big thanks to JF, CB, SW, EA, DC and AR for their $50+ donations!)Google Ads for May: $126.38 (Thanks to my motherboard for frying and keeping me and the site offline for 2+ weeks) Over $100 from Google Ads in a month, you can EASILY get the money you need to cover your hosting bills and earn a small amount on top of that.See? If you really need to have more then the 3GB offered here at Xisto then simply setup Google Ads and you will have you bills paid for you (Pretty much). Notice from rejected: Put stats in quotes.

Please refrain from posting materials copied without quotes. I bet, use that much by providing mass downloads, and you will find your account suspended for spamming. Happens everywhere... nothing new. Also, BW price depends on Quality, network used etx. For 199 USD, We can provide servers with unlimited BW that too at 10 mbps dedicated pipeline (unlike others who provide just 1 or 2 mbps).The argument has no ending if you research the web.... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_aggie10 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 Uh ok, that's a kind of stupid question, and will probobly be considered SPAM.Anyway, 'bandwidth' is the amount of data drawn from the network/server/etc. Eg. if someone downloads a five megabyte file from a server, then they have used five megabytes of bandwidth.this post was along time ago....but is there a way to ge tthat bandwidth back? like delete the transaction?

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 ...but is there a way to ge tthat bandwidth back? like delete the transaction? No. It would be like trying to delete a phone call you have made. You have used the lines to transmit data. The bandwidth is measured as it leaves the server and counts against your limits the instant it is delivered to the 'net.

rwb7041 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 ok, so I have specific questions about the hosting service here:1) What version of php is used on the servers?2) Is php curl available?3) Can safe_mode be changed to 'off'?4) What is that starting disk space available for use?5) Is the bandwidth per day?6) Is their any restrictions on what can be used on the sites hosted here?reason for my questions: I have a php script that I need to be hosted on a site. bandwidth is not a problem b/c the script only pulls 5600 files totaling 100 mb. The script uses curl functions, and one of the functions only works want open_basedir and safe_mode is off unless the php version is below 4.4.4, then safe_mode and open_basedir doesn't matter.

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Safe Mode is OFF, open_basedir is ON for the Hosted Accounts.PHP version 5.2.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
innosia 1 Report post Posted September 22, 2008 Yes this is nice storyI have been also wondering how those provide unlimited space and bandwidth site can stand. Do they have some kind of building with all magnetic storage inside this building? I have been questioning myself about this, what if the other company, like competitor sign up in their site, and then upload large GB or TB rubbish to this site? Will they just go and buy new storage for this rubbish things? I must think that they must have some kind of mechanism to prevent such things to happen.I think that the plan Xisto offer is already enough, the storage is quite big (the second plan), for storing mp3, video, to your site. But if it is for selling purpose, i think one should own a server instead, to be better in management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
