Eeee, this is as cheap as chips!

I'll have another just for spares.
Even though I have no domain name at present, I hope this will be OK.

If I manage to sneak this past "she who has pursestrings" I'll try for a domain later :D

You don't need a domain to take advantage of the offer :)

I dont want to like rock any boats here but care to explain why a windows hosting package is like uber compared to say a linux/unix one? It depends on what your after I guess and i tried an ASP Package myself (500mb Web Space, 15 gig month transfer running on of course windows but no MSSQL or any SQL - Just damm access) - personally for space to use it was fine but looking for a decent portal/forum etc was not easy.

"Unlimited Databases" - I take it the database space used is included with your quota??

Like I say - each to there own - I pay aout £5 a month for 2 gig space, 75 Gig Transfer a month, 2000 ftp account / email account (more than enough eh), anon ftp, 10 MySQL and 10 Pregsql (or whatever you call it). I wont say who (its USA and yes it runs on linux) but im more than happy with it..

he, he.... it was "confession time" last night, I told her that I had spent £7+ on a website & she then told me that she had just bought herself a new coat for £40 !

So I also got the domain name registered today! :D :D

TBh, i'm not sure what you're asking here? Though a comparison of Windows vs Linux hosting is fair and lengthy.

Windows offers you native scripting support for ASP/ASP.NET. Also PHP, CGI, Perl and Python. You can use MS Access, MS SQL and MySQL databases. And of course Frontpage Exntentions.

Linux offers you PHP, CGI, Perl, Python and MySQL.

Basically there are somethings Windows can't do that Linux can but Windows can do PHP and MySQL databases.

Why there is price differences between different hosting companies is always key and is determined by many factors from supplier costs and competition.

Yes, we don't limit database sizes, but you have to remain with your account limit of course!

There are other things to hosting that determine value, such as domain hosting, how many? Also support contact, I-Web are proud of its support record with many eager customers to tell of their support response, quality and speed.

This is known as over selling which is something we will never do take this scenario this host has for talks sake 100 customers on this server and each one uses his allotted space and bandwidth it would very soon either bring the server down due to the amout of traffic or he would go out of business.
with those figures he would need
7500GB traffic per month which it is very unlikly he has this unless it is a 10mbit unmetered connection which would cost more than he is bringing in
210GB hard drive.

I already have 2 *nix reseller accounts with i-web but that is not what we're talking about, I have ASP applications I want to convert to use MS SQL ... try doing that your £5 linux account. Windows hosting has ALWAYS generally been more expensive than *nix hosting, and if you look around (because I did before I chose i-web for my windows hosting) I doubt you'll find many web hosts that offer what they offer for the price.
