Beware of the Moron
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this guy.
[16:31] * fark0r has joined #34sp
[16:31] <fark0r> yo
[16:31] <Mercedes> i got a flaming htta acess and 34 log in and ftp all different
[16:31] <fark0r> 24$/year ?
[16:32] <Mercedes> Hi Far0r
[16:32] <fark0r> hey
[16:32] <Mercedes> I try few of the others now hang on
[16:33] <fark0r> if u go over 1 gig/month transwer do they take $$ of u wihtout notifying?
[16:34] <Stuart> nope you have 7 days to pay up
[16:34] <Lord_Odd_Eye> no they notify i think and probably suspend your account untill it's paid
[16:34] <Lord_Odd_Eye> would you ever go over 1gb a month
[16:34] <bramp> I've gone over the 1gb limit... but they don't start charing until you go 500mb over I beleive
[16:35] <fark0r> hmm so they suspend account untill next month, and u have an OPTION to pay for more traffic that month correcT?
[16:35] <Lord_Odd_Eye> dunno about that
[16:35] <Lord_Odd_Eye> you'll have to ask the admins
[16:35] <fark0r> they idle
[16:35] <Stuart> at the end of the month if you have used 1000MB otr more over your allocation we bill you per 1000MB used
[16:35] <Lord_Odd_Eye> would you ever go over 1gb per month?
[16:35] <fark0r> bramp they start u bug u if u go voer 500mb?
[16:35] <Stuart> if you want to upgrade your account you can at any time
[16:35] <fark0r> i have site with 100000 hits/day
[16:35] <bramp> listen to Stu he knows all :)
[16:36] <Stuart> 100000 hits doesnt mean anything really
[16:36] <Stuart> all depends on the size of pages etc.
[16:36] <bramp> I've gone over my quota, but I haven't been suspended or charged yet since I haven't gone a full gig over
[16:36] <fark0r> with lots of text/graphics per page ;)
[16:36] <Stuart> as i say you need to know the average page size
[16:36] <Mercedes> <Daniel> It's the one in admin/config.php that you need. is that one in the 34 control panel ?
[16:36] <Stuart> 100000 hits can easily equate to 100K :)
[16:36] <fark0r> Stuart if i got over 1 gig u just close account untill next month? correct
[16:37] <Stuart> no
[16:37] <fark0r> hm?
[16:37] <Stuart> we keep counting how much bandwidth you use OVER your allocation
[16:37] * Lord_Odd_Eye was wrong, sorry it happens
[16:37] <Stuart> when that hits 1000MB excess we bill you £2.50
[16:37] <Stuart> you then have 7 days to pay
[16:37] <fark0r> that sucks :|
[16:37] <Lord_Odd_Eye> not really
[16:37] <Stuart> why?
[16:37] <Stuart> if you use 1001mb in a month, you pay nothing
[16:38] <Stuart> you need to use 2000MB before you are billed
[16:38] <Lord_Odd_Eye> £2.50 isn't much anyway
[16:38] <Daniel> Mercedes: No, in FTP it's at httpdocs/admin/config.php
[16:38] <Lord_Odd_Eye> lets see this 100000 hits a day site of yours then
[16:38] <fark0r> ok so i pay 25/year for.. 25gigs/year traffic
[16:38] <Stuart> you could use 1100MB a month for 10 months before you got billed for example
[16:38] <fark0r> er
[16:39] <fark0r> 12gig/year
[16:39] <Stuart> you get 1GB/month
[16:39] <Lord_Odd_Eye> £15 for 13gb traffic (not including domain)
[16:40] <Lord_Odd_Eye> well...
[16:40] <Lord_Odd_Eye> 12.99999999999999999999999999999999999gb anyway :)
[16:40] <Lord_Odd_Eye> have you looked at what other companies charge for hosting?
[16:40] <fark0r> hm i talk to my co workers thanks for the info :)
[16:40] <fark0r> yes
[16:40] <Lord_Odd_Eye> then why are you moaning
[16:41] <Lord_Odd_Eye> they are the cheapest I ever found :)
[16:41] <fark0r> hmm
[16:41] <Stuart> We are definitely not the cheapest, we dont aim to be
[16:41] <bramp> I've found cheaper... but the cheaper host is offline half the time
[16:41] <Lord_Odd_Eye> well best value for money then
[16:41] <Daniel> That's the idea :-)
[16:41] <Mercedes> just over wrote file with 2 days ago back up & :( ??????
[16:41] <fark0r> i just dont like the transwer plan
[16:41] <bramp> transfer plan?
[16:41] <Stuart> Work out how much bandwidth you need then come back and we can help you more
[16:42] <fark0r> if u go over instead of suspending account untill next month starts they bill u
[16:42] <Stuart> we bill your account
[16:42] <Stuart> that doesnt mean it comes off your card
[16:42] <Daniel> Yes - people don't normally like their account to be suspended without warning!
[16:42] <Stuart> you have to settle that bill
[16:42] <bramp> it would suck if my account was suspended for a month if I went a 1mb over
[16:42] <fark0r> or my site bye bye? :P
[16:42] <Stuart> if you dont pay us for services then yes
[16:43] <bramp> fark0r you can buy additional bandwidth in advance, its only £1.50/gig I think
[16:43] <Stuart> you have to pay for what you use, there is no way around that
[16:43] <Stuart> bandwidth is £2.50/GB at all times
[16:43] <bramp> oh, didn't it drop in price a few months back?
[16:43] <fark0r> how much in $ ?
[16:44] <Stuart> finance.yahoo.com/m3
[16:44] <Stuart> will convert it for you
[16:44] <Lord_Odd_Eye> lol :)
[16:44] <bramp> $4 ish I think
[16:44] <Daniel> bramp: Yeah, used to be £3.50 if you went over.
[16:44] <bramp> OH
[16:44] <Stuart> roughly $3.75 i think
[16:45] <fark0r> powweb is 99* for 360gig/YEAR transwer :|
[16:45] <fark0r> 99$
[16:45] <Lord_Odd_Eye> who's gonna need 360gb
[16:45] <Stuart> then by all means feel free to use their services
[16:45] <Lord_Odd_Eye> the only reason they offer it is probably because no one ever uses that much
[16:46] <bramp> I like their site "PowWeb - The prefect hosting solution"
[16:46] <Daniel> LOL
[16:46] <fark0r> yeah but if its false advertisment they get sued ;)
[16:46] <Stuart> not as easy as you may think to bring lawsuits
[16:46] <Daniel> You could use it I'm sure - they're banking on most people not using it. If a lot did they'd go out of business.
[16:46] <Mercedes> DONE IT )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
[16:46] <Daniel> Well done Mercedes.
[16:46] <Mercedes> deffo who wants a Brandy now
[16:46] <Mercedes> I H8 Puters
[16:46] <Stuart> it would be 27 cents per GB - you cant buy bandwidth that cheap unless you are MASSIVE
[16:47] <Stuart> and we are talking microsoft massive here...
[16:47] <Lord_Odd_Eye> I wouldn't actually be suprised if they kicked users off for using a huge ammount of bandwidth (or rather found reasons to kick them off!)
[16:47] <Daniel> Nor would I Lord_Odd_Eye.
[16:47] <fark0r> stuart they are pretty huge
[16:47] <Mercedes> Thanks all XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX loads I aint touchin nowt else honest
[16:47] <Stuart> i have heard of powweb before yes
[16:47] <Stuart> they are not the biggest hosts by a long way
[16:47] <bramp> looking at PowWeb site they offer everything 34sp do... but do charge $10 for MySQL
[16:48] <Stuart> Bigger hosts are verio...interland...diital island...
[16:48] <fark0r> "Members: 6,733"
[16:48] <Stuart> 6700 isnt a lot ;)
[16:48] <fark0r> 10$ for mysql yeah
[16:48] <bramp> doesn't 34sp 0wn that members count
[16:48] <bramp> ?
[16:49] <Stuart> i wont say what we have ;)
[16:49] <Stuart> not for a few months anyway, then maybe
[16:49] <bramp> hmm
[16:49] <Lord_Odd_Eye> lol
[16:49] <Stuart> but anyway, $99 is cheap for 360GB, if thats what you need go for it
[16:49] <Stuart> but unless you are hosting warez/mp3's etc, i dont see how you could use that
[16:50] <Lord_Odd_Eye> where's this 100000 hit's a day site of your's anyway?
[16:50] <fark0r> http://www.bankone.com/
[16:51] <Devalia> Stuart - Linux Distros :D
[16:51] <Devalia> Still take a hell of a lot :)
[16:51] <Daniel> Devalia: That they do.
[16:52] <Stuart> http://www.bankone.com/ - that is your site?
[16:52] <bramp> my friend downloads linux ISOs to /dev/null when his house mates are using all the bandwidth just to slow them down ;)
[16:52] <Daniel> bramp: Your friend sucks.
[16:52] <fark0r> im working on design
[16:52] <Daniel> And you want to host that off a £15 account?
[16:53] <fark0r> its my money :P
[16:53] <fark0r> i need to save on deal
[16:53] <Daniel> We're talking clustered dedicated servers for that sort of setup.
[16:53] <fark0r> hm
[16:53] <Stuart> from their site:
[16:53] <Stuart> Headquartered in Chicago, Bank One Corporation is the nation's sixth-largest bank holding company, with assets of more than $275 billion.
[16:53] <Stuart> Bank One currently serves more than 50 million credit card customers, 6.9 million retail households, 489,000 small businesses and 20,000 middle market companies. It manages $162 billion of clients' investment assets.
[16:53] <Stuart>
[16:53] <fark0r> i should i just them to buy few sun server
[16:54] <Daniel> If I were them I wouldn't reckon on spending anything under $10,000 per month on the infrastructure for that.
[16:54] <Stuart> I think they wouldnt want a £15/year hosting account to run on really...
[16:55] <Lord_Odd_Eye> lol
[16:55] <fark0r> hmmm your right :)
[16:55] <Daniel> LOL
[16:55] <Lord_Odd_Eye> blagger
[16:55] <fark0r> im just gonna do design and talk to company
[16:55] <Daniel> Okay.
[16:55] <Stuart> good luck with that!
