Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Very good Cas.....apart from the odd gramatical/spelling error......nothing like blowing your own trumpet :D

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Shouldn't that be grammatical? :D

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

:LOL: ...either way you wont get a better hosting package ;)

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Shhhhhhh! :erm: :D

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

I've signed up for one of these accounts, considering it offers MS SQL, it's bloody good value.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Trying to get a view of plesk:
www.plesk.com - Follow the demo links for Plesk for Windows

Casper - I am assuming its the domain owner demo people want?

What other features are available?
PHP? Version?
MySQL?
Can I have ASP ASP.NET Scripts?
Etc.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

It's got (from the CP I'm looking at) ASP, PHP, MS SQL, .NET and shed loads of other bits and bobs.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Tricky - you can see information about Plesk v7 here:
http://www.sw-soft.com/en/products/plesk7win/

and a demo here:
http://www.sw-soft.com/en/products/plesk7win/demo/

The key one is the Client demo. This will give you access to the client account, which allows you to add new domains (domain owner level), whereas the domain owner is 'just' the admin of one single domain.


Services include:
Microsoft ASP 6.0.3790.0
Microsoft ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0
SSI 6.0.3790.0
Perl v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Python 2.3
PHP 4.3.3 (cgi-fcgi)
Microsoft FrontPage 5.0.2.5012
Microsoft SQL server 8.00.194
MySQL 4.0.16-nt

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

I've had a few emails about the databases we offer now on our Windows packages.

Basically, there are three Microsoft Access, SQL 2000 and MySQL. All of these databases are included in the price of your hosting packages.

We do not charge extra per database, i.e. MS SQL. I've seen some hosting companies charge as much as £99 per MS SQL database, with restricted sizes :erm:. This will not help you, so we don't do it! :D

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

I have one & encourage anyone else who wants a site to get one.


Although I wonder how someone else putting this sort of offer on here would be treated?

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

If someone is able to offer what I-web offer for £4.99 a month (Windows hosting that is, I'm not overly interested in other people touting their scabby *nix hosts) then I'm sure they'll be welcomed, however, I sincerely doubt that you'll find anyone willing to do anything even remotely similar for that price.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

:d

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

How long will this offer be available ?

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

At this rate not long! :)

This is a very good offer and I don't intend to keep it open for long at all.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

I would go for it to host my forum on, but no money at the moment :(

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

I've just sent you a PM ;)

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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..

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

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.

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Ok, I think we've given enough of these away! :)

Tho, for anyone who's yet decided to buy I'm going to withdraw this exclusive CableForum promotion on Sunday (12th Sept) at midnight :)

..last chance :)

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

Does that include me (because of the PM)? :erm:

Re: I-Web Solutions: Windows Hosting
 

We've already agreed on your deal, so as and when next week... ;)

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

12 hours to go... :D

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

OK, we have to close this one now. Thanks to all who showed their interest and signed up :)

Welcome to I-Web! :D

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

Cooee Caspar mate, you changing your sig? :D

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

Is it bothering you? :D

..also, why remove it when it's doing such a lovely job of telling people about this hosting deal! :D

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

but isn't the offer closed now ?

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

As long as people keep talking about it then no! ;)

Seriously, if anyone requires windows hosting I want them to know where to look....anyone who does will get a discount....but once my sig has been removed maybe discounts will not be available!!!!

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

Sorry if I'm too late on this....

Could of stupid questions if I may?....

1. Is the excellent offer still available?

2. Are there moron's guides to setting things up? Particularly I'm wanting to put my music collection database on there and have a quick and simple search engine. I wouldn't know where to start with SQL etc, however I have managed to get the database into an Access file - what would I do next with it?

3. Will this price be the same when it comes to renew it in 12 months?

4. I have two domains right now - both are just pointed at my ntl webspace. One of them I pay extra to have an advert removed at the top of the page - I presume this doesn't happen with you guys?

Both of the domains are paid up right now, so what happens with directing them to your hosting? Do I get some sort of url like andygrif.i-webhosting.co.uk?

Or is there a way of keeping my domains with the people I'm with but directing them to your site? I really don't know much about how domains work (can you tell?)

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

I've just sent you a PM andygrif ;)

Re: Windows Hosting Promotion (I-Web Solutions)
 

Sorry, to drag this one up, but just thought I'd add that I have just signed up too.

Superb prices (offer or no offer), and from what I've seen so far the cPanel looks superb.

SBH.

Edited - ooohhh, just realised >1000 posts now :cool: :D
