I also recommend CCL Hosting, Plan 1 will fit your needs quite well. Only $40 a year which comes out to only about $3.33 a month.

Your best bet is to look for a reliable shared hosting provider. If you aren't going to host a bunch of sites, avoid reseller hosting altogether because reseller hosting servers will never be as reliable as shared hosting.

In other news... this server is hosted at RackShack on some joke (not to mention overpriced) reseller account.

And on top of that, they (OxygenHosting) are big newbies:

Wow, they have a hardcore computer business, too! »www.maximumrepair.cjb.net/

So, with all of that said, here is some advice. I hope you'll take it.

Next time you decide to go for the "omg I am running a BUSINESS that hosts web sights" thing, get some actual customers to rave about your service. Don't be lazy and pretend to be a customer.

It's easy to figure these things out. Please do not insult our (the forum's) intelligence next time.

Yes it is my Company but Regardless of who owns the company it’s still a very good Host with great uptime. Yes I should have just said that it was my company, but then most people would not look at it because they would think I was just saying this because it was my company. But its actually a a very good host

But either way regardless you should just of said I did a whois and found its your company bla bla. No Need to post Personal Info about me on the forum that is Wrong and childish. I have asked you nicely to please remove your last post especially with the picture. Also Can the Mods remove it if it’s not gone by the time a Mod sees this.

Thanks

You posed as a customer. That's weak. And lame.

They kind of have a point there. In my book, you would have gotten more credit had you admitted off the bat that it's your host. Instead, you chose to lie. You're not concerned about quality or getting the right stuff out there - you want to make money, even if you have to lie to everyone to do it. Sick.

It's public information. If you want to protect your WHOIS information, you can sign up for a protection thing through your domain registrar.

No. The purpose of the picture is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it is, in fact, your "company".

P.S. Sue Google for giving me a (very) easy method to find it. Or maybe you should just blame yourself, since you seem to spam this awesome host all over the place! »www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=oxygenhosting

You've nobody to blame but yourself. I hope you've learned your lesson.

Have a great day.

He posted nothing private, everything he posted is public domain.

I really like this part "Yes I would have just said that it was my company, but then most people would not look at it because they would think I was just saying this because it was my company." There are plenty of companies that post here, and are upfront about it that are respected, and prolly get a decent amount of hits because of it.

What else are you lien about? Your uptime? Quality? Everything? Lies will only drag your company down.

I agree with removed. And if you don't want people to know who you are you should not be in business. I have a small business (sole proprietor) and as long as I am not a corporation it is easy to find out everything about me. That is business. Anonymous and business don't go together and most customers would not trust a sole proprietor that was trying to be anonymous.

On a related note ... I second CCL Hosting. I use them and love them. Very happy for years now.

It just keeps going.. and going and going and going.

Check out this screenshot. You're lying even more! Way to do business!



Since this page will likely be indexed by Google and other search engines, potential customers will be able to see your track record.

Here are the facts about the screenshot:
"So the owner has to Pay MS for the software"
Funny. Especially since Bryan does not even own the server.
"But from this company’s site"
That should say "my company's site".
"they actually put $$ into this to host it from a good data center and make sure his server is properly looked after"
This is coming from a guy who has an overpriced reseller account on a POS server in a POS datacenter. Ain't no quality, yo.
"Their prices are not that bad i have seen much higher"
That should say "my prices...".

Please don't lie next time. Thanks.

You know not everyone pays $5/month for a reseller account. Maybe his reseller account does have some quality to it not everyone sells accounts at bottomfeeder prices. Of course you don't see many low price WINDOWS resellers out there since well windows servers aren't as cheap. Honestly how do you know it's a pos server do you just throw that out there to you don't know that it could be some dual cpu server for what you know. Finally ev1 being a pos datacenter I don't know about that either they must have done something to get on your bad side and last time I checked they host some what 25,000 servers they can't be such a pos datacenter to be expanding like they are.

Granted self promotion isn't great and lying about it but making assumptions to make him look even worse is pretty uncalled for.

$5/mo? Never said that those hosts were good, either. Hell, my previous host - Cooplabs.net - charged a fairly decent amount for reseller accounts. But they were good.

Yes - they did do something to get on my bad side. They offered lousy service when I was a customer. If you feel like it, you can take a gander at the FAQ, look for the datacenter review entry, and read my summary there.

Assumptions? I posted the truth and nothing else. Granted, my opinions factor into the datacenter deal, but that's what the "review" game is all about - opinions.

I skimmed the thread on my other monitor as I was typing this... and AFAIK (I skim rapidly) the datacenter/server thing was the only "opinion" thing I posted. I offered links and facts and other fun stuff for all the other points.

P.S. My opinion of RackShack is shared by many others. I'm not the only one who dislikes them.

Your dislike to Rackshack is all fine but that doesn't make the datacenter a pos and any hosting company there is bad. There are many shared hosts who are very popular and use ev1 quite a bit.

Your review says it all though
"RackShack/ev1servers - Support can be okay if you call in at the correct time and talk to the right person. I usually called in 3-4 times just for the sake of making sure I was getting the correct answer. I remember getting screwed over with overage charges once because I was told that the bandwidth counters reset before they really did. Damn it.

While the NOC people are cool and nice, a good number of them are, well, morons. Two of our servers were once nullrouted "for DDoS" - there was absolutely nothing like that going on. As I recall, it was really for "using to much bw" (that's how they said it) which turned out to be a wget of a somewhat large test file. Hmm.

Their network allowed IRC when I was a customer. I've heard that this has changed, but their support with IRC was (understandably) minimal. Many network outages occurred because some of the servers were hosting rather large IRCDs - and they tend to attract DDoS attacks.

My overall "problem" with RackShack is just that they claim to offer so much.. but they really don't in the long run. I'm sure some people have had good luck with their servers, but I did not."

Soo you really can't call it a pos by any means it was for you but like you said it was great for others. So this host it may have been great.

But the funny thing is the host probably isn't that great based on this
»www.webhosting.info/webhosts/rep···-INC.COM

They're pretty new host some 12 domains on their nameservers and 34 on their one ip based on the reverse. Granted that doesn't say much they could mainly sell to resellers.

Basically this is just the principal posting information that you don't know anything about is just trying to give the person a rough time.

Again - that's the point of reviews. I had a rough experience and have listened to dozens of friends (and seen even more similar stories on forums) with them, so I believe their service to be a POS.

I'm sorry that you don't like the fact that my posts are based on my opinion and previous experiences. I don't really give a hoot about bryanviper's host - if he wants to lie, he's welcome to do so. I am only trying to point out some facts about him and his service.

When somebody badly misrepresents himself in public, I think he's opened the door for this kind of response. Not only is the narrow misrepresentation up for correction, but the fact that he engages in this kind of unethical behavior ought to be fair game too.

Put another way: the kid asked for it.

Steve this isn't about the fact the kid misrepresented himself that's all fine and posting facts is fine to make him look bad but posting assumptions to make him worse when you have no clue is another thing.

But removed makes assumptions just to make it look worse I think the kid already made himself look bad. Saying the server is pos among other things when you don't know the specs or anything is just making assumptions.

I guess you simply don't get what I'm getting at. If say one of this kids customers made a post suggesting him and you made the same assumptions it would look pretty bad wouldn't it making you look bad. I don't see how this is any different

For example say I went and said
www.cclhosting.com
and
www.surpasshosting.com
were running pos servers and I had no clue I'm pretty sure you guys would flame me for it and I don't think posting lies even if it's someone who deserved to look bad isnt right.
