Dang, wish I knew about this coupon code before I ordered. 50% off my startup fees for my site would have been great . But great job on this*, I’m loving it so far. Proudly displaying the banner (with my aff code) on my site.

George – Site5 may be good, but I don’t consider then a middle-class host. Only large companies could offer 15TB of bandwidth (which is slightly unrealistic).

At this* we’re about realistic packages, and quality support. Our focus is that we can deliver what we offer (and deliver it well), rather than offering extra high numbers.

For a “middle-class web-host” you should try Site5 (http://www.site5.com)

1500 GB disk space, 15 TB bandwidth, 24/7 tech support and free setup for $3.50/mo

Not without it’s failings but I have been using them for about 2 years and have been very impressed.

David’s got a very nice design there, although the “why us?” page looks a tiny bit unprofessional with these stars, I’d prefer bullets, something less flashy and more solid. But that’s a matter of taste.

As for the prices, I don’t really know much in this industry, one thing is sure – the real test is when they start getting more and more clients. DreamHost is a perfect example of a webhost that started perfectly but failed to keep the quality while quantity soared.

Cheers and good luck!
