HELP! host25cent[dot]com - Can I trust this platform?

[ozzie5]

Hi guys!

Here`s my problem; this 'covid' scam has wiped out my income and my savings. Renewal coming up for my site [which I have let go toy the dogs anyway], and cannot afford the renewal.

I can afford to buy 3 years hosting from host25cent[dot]com [$9]. Also get a .xyz domain first year free.

My question is: are these guys worth it and reliable?

I understand that that they probably cannot compete with the "big guys" re speed etc, but can they be used?

Thanks!

[If this is in the wrong thread, I apologise to admin. First post here]

I don't like them (their website loads slowly, and I've already burned myself with a similar hosting company - mochahost - 2 years ago.)

Better go with more established websites. For example, I am using Namecheap at the moment and I paid for my unlimited-everything account $16... or $17 for one year, but it's true that I found this offer on a Black Friday sale. Still, it renews at $57,38 which is still better than mochahost who have increased my renewal price 2 times in the last 3 months of my annual contract to more than 40% over what I agreed to pay on my signup.

I know that for some people even $16 per year is a lot of money, trust me that I know this, I've been in a situation like this 8-9 years ago when I cheapskate'd on a hosting membership and i ended up with more troubles in the end. But if you run an online business hosting is one of the few services that you don't want to save money on if you have to compromise quality, especially today when people click away before your site even starts loading.

Yes, I am currently with Namecheap. I know the renewal of $57,38 is not expensive, but I cannot afford even that. [multiply that figure by 15...our mickeymouse money]. What I have left is about $10. Pretty crap no?

Oh well, nothing for it but to take a chance. Main reason I need a site right now is so I can use Prettylinks - doing something on the social platforms, and lots don`t like Bitly etc.

you're just throwing your last couple of bucks,
you can use different methods to afford some good money to invest later without any initial investments,
try with social platforms & affiliate offers, use relevant facebook groups, forums, Pinterest, Twitter, IG, etc...

Been trying that, using Bitly - getting kicked off. So need to use Prettylinks. And ja, if I had a few more dollars to spare, would keep my one site on Namecheap, but pretty f-cked right now., so will go with host25cent[dot]com.

Got no intention of trying to rank any pages with them; just create landing pages, and use Prettylinks for Aff links
