They offer good rates and are very determined to work with the client to give them reliable service. They sell dedicated servers so if your clan needs a server, this might be what you are looking for. Check them out!

You can contact them on AIM at either After Support or After Support1; or by email at support@afterhost.net

1. Loaded quickly

2. No pop-ups

3. None of that "Host Name Lookup Failed"

It's just you Comprox <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sorry, but now that I've seen <a href='http://www.flatface.net' target='_blank'>http://www.flatface.net</a>, that seems a very unreasonable price to me. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> Especially because there's a transfer limit involved. For $30 a year at FF.net, you get 1 GB of space, unlimited bandwidth, and all the little doohickeys (PHP, ASP, MySQL, etc...) included.

Moved to servers and server operators, where it seems to belong.

dear sweet jesus where has this provider been all my life ?

Mad_Man

Humm

As a gameserver/web coany that looks the tohe comptio often I must say very over priced.

And nothing is unlimited but space and time. Unmetered is another thing <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I took a look. Their prices seem reasonable. Also, I did not notice any of the problems that Comprox did.

I just see one major flaw with their page:

"AfterHost also offers even higher-quality dedicated servers but they are only being sold upon request for information."

Big nono. If you offer the servers, list the packages on your website. Don't make people go out of their way to contact you for information.

If somebody is researching, say, a dual processor Xeon (200$/mth at RackShack), and they are looking at different hosts, if they see a message like that, they will put you pretty far down on the list.

I'm sorry, I don't see why I should use a hosting service that is <b>hosted on the same Bell Canada 640kbit upstream DSL line that I have</b>. I already have a linux webserver plugged into <i>my</i> connection. Maybe I should also start a hosting business?

EDIT: FlatFace's IP resolves to "HSE-Kingston-ppp329056.sympatico.ca", which kind of proves my point. HSE, BTW, stands for "High Speed Edition", what Bell Canada calls their broadband Sympatico lines.

EDIT2: After reading their "Server" page it seems they only cram all of their free users onto the 640kbit connection (800kbit before overhead). For their "paid" server, they claim to have an OC12, which they say operates at "65Mb/s". I don't know where they get that number from. An OC 12 is 622mb/s, or ~78MB/s. If you want to go by millions-of-bytes instead of megabytes, that's ~82. Nowhere do you get a figure of 65 anythings per second.
