SiteMaster.in looking for cheap webhost

[SaurabhStar]

SiteMaster.in is currently hosted on free plan of byethost. Their service is great but we are looking forward to shift to paid hosting. Hence, Suggest us cheapest Indian webhost which supports payment through online bank transfer i.e. netbanking. The service should be available in cheap plans with no compromise with quality, support, speed and uptime.
Also we are looking forward to cheap, fast & efficient reseller hosting since we will start a program to give our special members free domain + full fledged free hosting with no ads.

Waiting for your reply!!..

Update
Now We are hosted on fastest paid server with blazing speed, 99.9 % uptime and good support. We own a reseller account and we offer free as well as paid webhosting for the cheapest possible price. For details - http://sitemaster.in/forum/Thread-We-pro...-also-free

I would like to know something. What are the limitations with byethost? I mean which PHP settings are disabled?

What is the budget? Since the requirements are high, as it grows on, its better to get a dedicated server from dedicated server providers like The Planet. The services and features are good, so is the support response.

Hello Nishmu, Welcome to sitemaster.in
First of all tell me which plan of byethost are you talking of? Free or Paid ? Free plan has some restrictions and indirect ads too. For example, mail through phpmail of free hosting of byethost contains a one line advertisement. Frequent and massive crawling by bots are also restricted in some cases. Your website might redirect to myfacebook.net unreasonably occasionally. But these cases are seen in case of free hosting plan with byethost

About my budget, since it is the begining, I don't want to invest a lot at this stage. I want to go learning things and investing in accordance to keep a proper balance and maintain my productivity at the same time..

I was asking about the free service. Well, those restrictions doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance then, as far as I can see here. Its nice they are offering mod_rewrite module and PHP mail functions, which many free hosts don't offer. The site is pretty fast. So may be you can continue with free host for some more time.

As for the reseller hosting for offering free hosting, I can't recommend anyone, as I have't used any. But from my experience and according to some of my friends who were hosted with Indian hosting, the service is crap, first off almost none of the Indian Hosts have their own servers in India, thats obvious considering the broadband quality in India. They just rent from other countries, and act as agent. Well its the same thing, even companies in other countries rent servers from data centers, but some of those offer very good support, which is important for reseller owners as many issues crop up from time to time. So I would rather recommend getting some foreign hosts.

Hello Nishmu.
You're wrong. Sitemaster.in is now hosted on paid hosting service. The service and support is from Indian web host and it is quite good. You're right that many web hosts get foreign datacenters and offer services of hosting. I have already purchased reseller hosting and the service and support till date is quite reasonable. Our website is quite fast now and uptime is also great. I am happy with my paid hosting. Ping me if you need full.fledged hosting service at the cheapest price from me or if you want it for free (for free, certain terms & conditions apply)

Wow, that's nice to hear. You didn't mention in announcements, so assumed you are still with byethost.

So you also got reseller hosting, nice, so finally I hope your plans are converting to reality. If you don't mind would you tell me the host you are with now, as you have positive comments about them, I would like to know. May be you can PM.

[SaurabhStar]

of course, I can tell you which host I am with at present but let me give you an exercise as this will increase your expertise in webmastery - Just find out which webhost the sitemaster.in is hosted on - You have to find out the actual webhost whose reseller package I have bought, If you succeed then pm me with your result else reply here and I will tell you about it

[nishmu]

Haha... I like you. I was just lazy. Check PM.

[SaurabhStar]

You are right! I checked pm. I m impressed You passed this little test with a new learning of implementing your knowledge and expertise!
