Re: I need good tech support desperately!!!

Hi, I usually would not post a message like this one but since the subject has been started I assume that some people are interested in what I have to say. We are a small webhosting company but we're growing incredibly quickly because of the quality of our services, which are different from other large companies. We give 500 MB of diskspace and clients can customize just about everything on the server, like on a deddicated server but in a shared environment trought a control panel (similar to a RAQ control panel). You can host an unlimited of domains on the same account, and there's tons of features that can be customized. Price is determined by the bandwidth you use, $6-$8/GB. I feel cheap for advertising on this list so I won't give more infos or a link to our site, but if you are interested you can contact me by email.
