First of all, let me explain that I am not affiliated at all with this company. I am posting this because the service he has provided me has been the best I have ever found, and because I know how hard it is to start one's own hosting company.

Its a Canadian company, so if the prices seem a tad high its because they are in Canadian Dollars ($1 CAD = ~$0.70 USD)

The customer service is absolutly fabulous, since it is a small company he always finds time to help you with all your problems for as long as it takes to fix the problem. His servers are very fast and very reliable (my site has been down for 13 minutes over the past MONTH). He has all the features of the big boys, he allows all sorts of MYSQL and scripts, full FTP access, free account set up and domain DNS and everything else one would ever want in a host. I hope everyone checks his programs out, they really are the best I have ever found. Thanks guys, you wont regret it!

i already got a place but what do they provide for $.70 US? i got

50megs
2 gigs bandwidth
full scripting
mysql
stat system
and a few other things

Sounds like astroturfing to me, but I'll take your word for it.

The prices do look pretty decent. Do you know if hosted sites have dedicated IP addresses or are they shared? Or does it vary depending on the plan?

While you may not be a representative of this company it's still advertising and therefore I have moved it to the appropriate forum.
