hostable - 3 years for a buck

Subsonic · Mar 23, 2011

I think it was worth buying just because of the Search Engine advertising credits i got.. 25$ Google, 25$ Yahoo and 50$ Myspace. It's not much but it's a start

What a deal!

Does anyone know if it has MySQL or Fantastico? If it did I would definitely buy this! Thanks guys

just simply use fake paypal. my friend bought this for me using his fake paypal. that will cut the headache in the future

You can pay for the 3 years, instead of subscribe. That's what I did

     	Hello, your representative is Chris
                           Welcome to Hostable, Chris will be right with you.
Chris
Thank you for visiting today, how may I help you? 


Payment after three years for $ 0.99 Is it automatically or if you do not agree with him after 3 years will just spread my account? 

Chris
yes after 3 years it will be auto renewed you can cancel before that 

Chris
you need to email [email protected] and explain you want to cancel

I register but this is not good i think :X

for people considering this. it's great for the money, but the customer service agents are clueless. i wanted my main domain to be my site's name and they said they couldn't do that. i ended up sending a support ticket and 2 days later i got it sorted. for the money it's great for wordpress sites.

I just got this email from hostable:

Thank you for signing up at Hostable and giving us a try. There has been some confusion about a few aspects of our service that I would like to clarify.

1. We are *NOT* over-subscribing or over-selling this service. Hostable is owned by Brinkster, and we have been in this business for 12 years. Our intention is to provide you with high quality service and support so that you will want to renew and stay with us!

2. Your account will renew for 3 months (not 3 years) at the rate of $6.99 per month - you can login to your account and verify this. We will be offering discounts and incentives that will save you additional money. We made this change to help you understand that we are not trying to force you to pay us $250 USD when your account renews in three years.

3. We removed the miscellaneous fees and the $35 Early Termination Fee from sections 5.05 and 5.09 of the Terms of Service. You will not be charged these fees.

4. Hostable is 100% Wind Powered and you can add a cool green badge to your website for free. See them here.

Edit: I received another email from them:

Please understand - you are still getting 3 YEARS of free hosting! The only change we made was that you will now renew for 3 months instead of 3 years!

ONLY the renewal changed. We did not change the initial 3 year free time period.

Many of you did not like that the account would renew for another 3 years after your first 3 years for free. So we changed that to 3 months. Now the renewal is $20.97 USD instead of $250 USD.

I apologize for any confusion this caused.

But i dont see any subscription been created in Paypal, and as long as thrs no subscription in Paypal they can not auto charge... all they can do is generate an invoice and mail that to you so that you can pay.... can you also please check your paypal account for any subscription with them?

They changed it so it's 6.95$ a month after 3 months.

underayted · Mar 29, 2011

Has to be a clause

dibley69 · Mar 30, 2011

just received the same 3 month email???

plumbum416 · Mar 30, 2011

This is awsome, I put a second EMail-Adress in my PayPal Account and purchased this offer twice with these two mails without having any problems

BrickTop · Mar 30, 2011

I signed up too. It looks like the chat support is a bit slow. it freaked me out when i saw the $251.64 USD fee in the e-mail. Well, i paid using PayPal so
