RE: [PLUG] Searching for webhosting nirvana...

["Daniel W.Ottey" <dottey@snarfykat.org>]

I've been with them for about a year now.  I honestly would prefer my own personal (non shared) server in a colo box somewhere with a really, really high speed connection.  But I can't afford that.  This seemed like a good deal to me.  And it hasn't let me down yet.  99% uptime.

they explain "How we do it" here: http://www.nomonthlyfees.com/how_do_they_do_it.htm

><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; I have personally rather enjoyed <A HREF="http://www.nomonthlyfees.com/"; TARGET="_blank">http://www.nomonthlyfees.com/</A></FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Atleast back when I setup with them, I paid them $200 and now </FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; have lifetime hosting (200MB, unlimited bandwidth, many other </FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; features).&nbsp; SSH access was an additional one-time fee of $15 I think?</FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; </FONT>
><BR><FONT SIZE=2>&gt; Hope that helps.</FONT>
