Virtual Hosting Compared: What you get for $10.00 a month
 

I'm looking for a new virtual hosting plan and decided to do a quick comparison of plans that cost around $10 a month. So many people have helped me here at GFY I thought I'd share this info so that maybe it will help others. I decided to research the companies that seem to come up the most in hosting discussions here at GFY.

All of this info is current as of March 26, 2009. If any company listed here would like to correct the figures, offer discount codes or explain why you're better than the others even though you may not offer the most bang for the buck, please do.

In the list below after the hosting company name I have listed the monthly bandwidth, the storage space, the monthly cost and the set-up fee (a question mark means I could not determine if there is a set-up fee).

Way3
50GB - 2000MB - $12.50 - ?

Phatservers
1000GB - 10GB - $9.95 - $0

HostHead
100GB - 5GB - $9.95 - $0

Webair
400GB - 10GB - $9.95 - $9.95

NakedHosting
1000GB - 100GB - $9.95 - $0

Cyberwurx
15GB - 1000MB - $15.00 - $0

Servage
7500GB - 750GB - $7.50 - $0

CroHoster
12GB - 600MB - $9.00 - $0

HostGator
Unlimited - Unlimited - $12.95 - ?

Hope this helps!

HO DAMN! Any of these guys install Wordpress for free?

Cyberwurx - 15GB - 1000MB - $15.00 - $0 THUMBS UP!

I want to host my tubes for $10 a month.

Hostgator does, 1 click.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Thanks, dude. I needed that. I've been too serious lately. Whew.

I would recommend Webair or Phatservers for this 10 buck account, and I would stay FAR away from hostgator.:2 cents::2 cents:

Ruh roh @ feedback on hostgator above. Anyone else have 1 click WP install?

No setup fee, and first month is FREE on all Shared accounts from Way3 and we usually have a special we can hook you up with. :thumbsup Contact us for current specials that may be of interest to you! :)

And we'll install Wordpress!

could be useful... though there are some other important things like e.g. uptime, support that need consideration ....

Are you for real? You mean someone on here is still dumb enough to host with hostgator or servage? I thought this type of dumbness was exclusive to indians on DP and other clueless fags :2 cents:

All of our shared IP hosting accounts do.

Nice post man, good to see people giving :thumbsup

Yes :) Naked Hosting has 1 click installs

Anyone that plans on hosting a Tube site that needs to run video conversions on any virtual account is headed for a disaster, it's just not realistic. Start out with TEVS, Nubiles, etc and embed or use the sponsor provided imports to build yourself up. :2 cents:

one click ... is free ... and 40+ other scripts!

Seriously folks.... are you seriously considering a host based on that fact that they install WordPress? It's a fucking 3 step process! As well after v2.7, upgrading your WordPress is now FULLY AUTOMATIC - it's a one click solution!

nice post :thumbsup

See sig with an invitation code for huge monthly bandwidth ...

I was thinking exactly the same :uhoh

good info :thumbsup
