The Honest Way

I was sitting here pondering over the limitations of my Hostgator’s baby crock hosting package - as you do - wondering if I might have been getting near to my bandwidth allocation for last month as I checked my usage and was just under the 2 gigabytes.

I knew my disk allocation was fine, as I’m only using just under 50 mb of my 100 gb allocation - a veritable drop in the ocean!

But cPanel doesn’t actually tell you what your bandwidth allocation is, so I had to go to the sign-up page to see. Well, what was I worried about?

2 measly gigabytes? Piffle!

Bandwidth allocation is actually slightly more than 2gb… 1000gb to be precise! A whole terrabyte of bandwidth!!! I didn’t realise I had that much!

Compare that with the pathetic allocation I’m getting with MPAM’s cashosters.com. There it’s only 100mb disk space and a useless 500mb bandwidth. They only give you 1 mysql database, so that means only 1 blog and that’s it. If you wanted to add a forum or any other add-on you’d have to pay for an upgrade! Sorry guys, but that’s a bit too restricting for me. Puts it into perspective somewhat.

So to say I’m happy with Hostgator is an understatement. I get unlimited mysql databases, unlimited add-on domains, unlimited subdomains, unlimited email accounts and all that storage and bandwidth!

I’m only scratching the surface with my usage at the moment. I’ve only got 3 add-on domains and two subdomains so far, one forum and four blogs hosted so there’s loads of room for expansion. I do intend to expand… but it takes a lot of writing which takes a lot of time! But it’s time well spent and I do enjoy writing - as you can probably tell!

I’ve just added a new wordpress blog to replace the creaky old one at my hypnosis site and created a brand new blog to compliment this one. I’ll be populating it heavily over the next few weeks, so head on over and have a look when you get a chance. What’s it called? Oh, yeah…
