RE: [PHP] below10host.com as webhost?

Alright, so here's my question on the whole phpwebhosting.blah thing... If they are extremely pro-PHP for hosting, how come they haven't responded to some of the _slams_ they've received on this list? I'd be surprised to hear that no-one working for PHPwebhosting wasn't at least lurking on this list. I went to their site at the onset of the conversation and it did look _very_ promising. I'd like to hear something of a rebuttal from an employee of them. And preferably a tech of somekind. -Gray people make me nervous- --jeremy -- Jeremy Kelley <jeremy@33ad.org> pgp keyid 0xAECBA355 Phil 1:21 www.ganooz.com Car pour moi, la vie c'est le Christ, et la mort est un gain. > -----Original Message----- > From: Egan [mailto:egan@sevenkings.net] > Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 09:32 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] below10host.com as webhost? > > > On Thu, 18 Jan 2001 01:54:28 -0600, "Jeff Lacy" > <jeffdl@mn.mediaone.net> wrote: > > >anyone had thought/opinions on below10host.com as a web host? > > I'm speaking as a budding competitor, so keep that in mind. :-) > > According to their web page, below10host.com gives you 6GB per month > for $9.95.
