cheap backup host??? - GoFuckYourself.com

strainer · 10-30-2002, 01:13 PM

Being the risk adverse person that I am, I use a backup host (using dynamic DNS with a 20 minute timer) in case my hoster goes bye-bye.

I'm looking for a hosting company with these unusual requirements:

Monthly transfer = minimal, say 10 gigs, because ideally, the site is never used., except to freshen content. But a reasonable overage in case I active the site. The site only uses 2-3 gig a day anyway.

Storage - around 2 gigs, i.e., a lot for a 10 gig transer account.

If anybody has a cheap reliable deal I'd like to hear about it.

ISPRIME is real reliable. I have a small account there, I pay 19 bucks for 20 gigs monthly. The service is top notch and they're always up

Thanks, but from their website it sounds like they are using Rackshack for their servers, which is the site I am backing up so that would rule them out.

Out of principle I wouldn't consider any hosting company that doesn't have phone numbers and contacts for sales/owners/principals right on their web site, too many good companies out there to mess around with that sort of thing, in my opinion...
