Hosting Credits And More Just a passing thought

[nakulgupta 0]

The other day i was thinking about Xisto and was frustrated at not being able to do more on the forum. But i was not very bothered...i had enough credits to my name. I just did a sort of check on my hosting credits and the way they were "spent"

 

Hosting credits when applied fo starter package: 11

Credits deducted :10

Credits when i applied for the default package : 34

Credits Deducted :32

Credits after upgrade : 2

Now i have applied for a domain change : 10 credits

 

So total credits i spent in getting a starter package -> Default Package -> Domain Change : 52

What would have otherwise been used had i applied directly : 30

 

So Credits "lost": 22.

Yup you're right - in fact, if someone waits till the credit pileup is more than 30, it's a better idea to go for the second package straight. Then you don't miss out on those extra credits you loose by going through the Starter > Upgrade roadmap. I guess a lot of people have got that figured out, coz recently many of them are patiently waiting till they've enough credits for the 2nd package and then applying directly for it.

unless they need a webhost urgently, like myself

well you have to wait for the package to be answered and stuff and approved. Usually by then you would have around 30 credits anyways so there really isn't a point to ask for the beginner packageI did it and by the time everything got figured out I was at like 34 credits meh 34 down the drain

who would need a (free)webhost urgently. if it was that urgent and they had a good enough idea to use the space well they would get a paid host or a quicker (but not as good) host. like m^e said many people have it figured out how they can get hosting quicker and what needs to be done to get it is worth it!
