I run a web hosting business and I would like to make an offer to my fellow members for a good deal on hosting and to also provide some $$ to help the gstwin site continue, so here is what I am offering....

300MB storage
3GB of monthly transfers
Individual CPanel control panel
Unlimited number of email accounts
Webmail Access
Frontpage Extensions
Unlimited number of mySQL databases
Web based server file management tool - no FTP software required
One Click Script installation using Fantastico
There are a number of other features available, but these are the highlights  These are NOT trimmed back accounts like you get with other low-cost hosting services.

The price for this service is $40 for a year for hosting!  For each person who signs up from this offer, I will donate $10 to the GSTWIN.com site to help it pay for hosting costs, etc of this site. This price is essentially a 60% discount off of the normal price of this tier of service!

Reliability  This is one of my biggest concerns when I was looking for a hosting company in the past, so I wanted to make sure that my servers are as reliable as possible.  The servers are located in a data center called 'The Planet' in Texas and has redundant power and Internet connections.  The server is monitored 24/7 and the uptime on this server has been over 99.9%.  All data on the servers is backed up to a second hard drive which will be used as a backup in the unlikely event that a major problem occurs.  

Why do I need a hosting account?
These accounts can be used for a wide range of things from just hosting a couple of pictures for family members to view to starting your own E-Commerce site.

Picture Hosting - pictures for family, ebay auctions, etc[/list:u]

Video Hosting - Have videos that are too large to email?  You can upload them to your server, provide a URL to your friends and they can download them when they get a chance.[/list:u]

E-Commerce - With the one-click script installation, you can install a web based store in a matter of minutes[/list:u]

How do I sign up?  
Just head over to https://www.eachosting.com/helpdesk/step_one.php

- Choose the Bronze Package - Payable Annually option
- Choose PayPal as the payment method
- Enter gstwin.com into the promotion code box.
- Finish the signup process.

Questions - Please post or send any questions about this offer to sales@eachosting.com and I will be happy to answer them.

PS. John has sanctioned this post and he will be by shortly to post his approval on to it.  

Thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there is no advertising whatsoever on the sites that I host and that SSH access is available to those who need it.  If you don't know what SSH is then you probably don't need it!  

Sorry, I forgot to mention this in the previous post.  All account have a 15 day money back guarantee.  If for any reason you find that you dislike the service, etc during the first 15 days after the account has been setup, I will return 100% of your payment, no questions asked.

Chris

Ok, so if I own my own domain name (which I do) what is needed to make it resolve to your hosting location?

Just change the name server entries with your registrar to point to the eachosting name servers ns1.eachosting and ns2.eachosting

Then it takes about 48 hours for the changes to propagate across the Internet.

Chris

No real interest, huh?  Ok, this is my last <bump>  

Chris

I am DEFINITELY interested.  I haven't moved on it yet because I'm mulling over how I'm going to switch the HUNDREDS of URLs/photos I've posted on this board over to a new address.

Any ideas?  Does anybody know MySQL (or whatever DBMS powers this board) well enough to help with a search/replace?  Would John even have the access to DO something like that?

The place where you are hosting your stuff right now is free space provided by a ISP or something, right?  You could just provide a redirect to your new location when someone hits your old place.  Just an idea.  John should have the ability to modify the SQL records if he is willing to help.

Chris

I could write a script to go through and change all your posts to go to the new server... that's cake.  the question is whether John would trust me enough to allow me on his precious database.

Just wanted to let people know that Chris has made a donation in Kerry's name just as he promised.  If anyone else is interested in good and cheap hosting Chris is offering a very fair deal.  3 gigs bandwidth is an awful lot in  for a personal page or a small web site.  GStwin.com (not counting the forum) uses like 8 - 10 gig/mo and we get thousands of hits daily.

Thanks Chris(aka 1998 gs500)!  

Hey- Can we extend this deal out to family and friends. I have some friends that might be very interested- but I'd hate to abuse your generosity.  

Thanks

Of course, please tell anyone you would like.  I will still donate $10 per person who signs up for this offer... just make sure that they mention the GSTwin discount.

Chris

Just wanted to mention that Kerry is a happy customer as he posted here

Chris

$40 USD / year for 300 mb? if that's right, i'm interested....

Yup, $40 USD for 300MB storage and 3GB montly transfers.  Of that I donate $10 to GSTwin.com in your name.

Chris

do the servers run php? (and have direct ftp access?)
subdomains would be suet as well  

anyway, i'm interested

Yes, the servers have PHP and mySQL installed and you will have direct FTP access to your account.  Subdomains are also included and there isn't any preset limit on the number of mySQL, subdomains or email accounts.

These are full featured accounts.

Chris

i am very interested, i have www.frankgallagher.ca   it costs me 29 canadian a month for it.  my problem is i have no idea how to switch it over.  40 a year is a great deal.

All you need to do is contact the company that you registered the domain with and have them change the nameserver information associated with the domain.  My nameservers are NS1.EACHOSTING.COM and NS2.EACHOSTING.COM

Chris

I forgot to include the important information about  how to sign up.

To sign up, you just need to go to http://www.eachosting.com/helpdesk/order

Once there fill out the form and in the referral code input 'GSTwin' w/o the single quotes.  Make sure you select the Bronze package and the annual payment option.  

If you have any problems or questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Chris

what about https and the ability to process credit card transactions?
