Website United Hosting Rocks

Great Hosting... a lil shaky on uptime last couple weeks because of a server perl overflow flood attack... but they have been up for the last month.

Cheap Reliable and great support starting at 1.99 a year

this is a typical complaint about a cheap web hosting company. You paid $5 bucks a month and expected the world from them?

I would suggest you look for a small package in that case. For example we charge $40 a year for 250 mb space/5 GB bandwidth. Your going to find people who offer you a lot more. Remember when choosing a host that the host does have costs and if they are offering you everything for nothing, stay away. For $20 a year don't expect much space/bandwidth OR expect a good amount of space/bandwidth but horrible service.

What kind of services are you looking for? What does websiteunited provide to you for 20 bux a year? The hosting provider that I use (URL) least expensive plan is about $50/year...but you get a lot for that (I'm on a slightly more expensive plan). But for 50 bucks a year, you get a reliable hosting provider (one that is not down "every other day, a good mix of services and great support.

less than a month BUT the way the topic starter was speaking made it sound like they were never up and running which isnt true, ive never noticed my site down once
perhaps they were updating their servers when he was having problems or just problems in gerneral, either way they seem fixed now and ive not had any problems

Cool..... anyhow, I sent an email to all users saying and explaining that we had a DDOS attack which led to the problems... bfoot, check your email. I sent an apology I hope you can understand; I shall upgrade your account for the recent trouble.
