NEWYEAR

Celebrate the new year by getting that website you've always wanted online.

Due to a some email requests. We're bringing this deal back for ONE week ONLY.

For a limited time you can get our 'professional hosting' deal for $1 per month (payment term MUST be annually, so $12 upfront)… this deal is for the lifetime of your account! All our servers are in Sydney. It comes with cPanel and:

1GB of space
Unmetered* bandwidth (*THIS IS NEW!!)
Unlimited databases
Unlimited addon domains
Unlimited subdomains
Unlimited email accounts
Free DNS hosting

Plus!!! Much much more, like dozens of one-click install apps via cPanel -> Softaculous (ei, WordPress). Detailed list of features available on hosting page.

The code required for the discount is 'NEWYEAR' be sure to select annually.

We are able to offer extraordinary deals with such quality servers primarily because we partner with established web hosting companies and wholesale space and bandwidth on their network. All plans come with second-to-none support.

Transferring .com, .net or .org's costs $10 and comes with a year of renewal. Transferring .com.au, .net.au, .org.au's is 100% free!

We'd also like to confirm that none of our services are oversold. This means that you'll always have access to the resources you pay for - on lightning fast servers. We're so confident about our servers that the 9WEB website itself is hosted on our professional account!

Understand also what unlimited means: you're free to use as much bandwidth as you like - unlimited does not mean infinite however, for example an unmetered 100Mbit/s connection gives a maximum transfer of roughly 30TB/month or 30,000Gbytes/month.

The word 'Unlimited' has been used and abused quite aggressively in the telecommunications and online service industry.

    From Dictionary.com:

    un·lim·it·ed [uhn-lim-i-tid] Show IPA
    adjective
    1.
    not limited; unrestricted; unconfined: unlimited trade.
    2.
    boundless; infinite; vast: the unlimited skies.
    3.
    without any qualification or exception; unconditional.

    I think it may be you guys who need to understand what unlimited means. Why not just sell it as a 30 TB limit, rather than use words you don't actually mean?

    Agree, great deal, but there's no need for these shenanigans. And I can't think of a reputable telecommunications company who still use the word unlimited without meaning it.

    • RocketSwitch on 15/01/2014 - 15:14

      If you read most reputable telecommunications they include a Fair Usage Policy. From what I can gather Skype, Optus, Vaya and Vodafone have this, from what I have dealt with.

      It is unlimited, but they do state any unusual activity, say if you send 1,000 text messages in a day, then that's considered not fair usage. Even though Optus said, go ahead and send 1,000 text messages lol!

      Which is fair enough.

      • nikonzero on 15/01/2014 - 15:30
        +5

        Which outlines my point, why use the term? It's not like 30TB is a small allowance, so why not just sell it as that. The last sentence in this post sounds like the seller agrees the term has been misused in the industry, so why use a term, then offer a different definition of the term?

        I just think that if a word has a meaning, marketing people shouldn't use that word then re-define it to suit their needs.

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ 9WEB on 15/01/2014 - 15:45
          +4

          Good point. It would be an advantage to our competitors if we didn't, because we all know that hosts use it pretty much 99% of the time. I think the meaning we wished to convey fits with the word 'unlimited'. You're free to use as much bandwidth as you like (unlimited). However the speed of that data leaving the datacenter is limited.

        The difference is that with phone operators we are limited in our options - with web hosting, the choices are unlimited!

      • jeanene on 16/01/2014 - 10:51
        +2

        Actualy I think he is being very honest. Unlike the "fair use policy" he isn't enforcing any limits or shaping you once you go over. Rather he is giving a full 100mb connection and letting you know that due to the speed of that connection and the fact that it's probably shared will mean that you are unlikely to get more than 30tb if you ran it flat out. it's a matter of maths not limits. If you wanted more than 30tb then you would need a faster link.

        Personally I think hes actual going beyond what's required by even mentioning the "effective" limit.

  • phobaphobic on 15/01/2014 - 15:28

    Are you guys a reseller for another company?

    • tomclancy on 15/01/2014 - 15:39

      I think they resell VentraIP. OP please tell me if I'm wrong

      • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ 9WEB on 15/01/2014 - 15:42
        +3

        Yes, we do sometimes resell other companies plans. This adds a neat layer of separation of services, without sacrificing quality. We then pretty much just deal with support.

        A lot of the best telecom companies are just resellers. It's a great model. Better service and cheaper products at the same level of quality.

        Cheers guys =)

      Yes, please email us so we can manually set it up.

  • PowerB on 15/01/2014 - 15:32

    I'm currently considering this, as it seems to be more beneficial to pay $12/year than continue using my free webhost (000webhost).
    I host a Minecraft, Teamspeak and Terraria servers for friends - am I able to create a subdomain, eg. minecraft.mydomainname.com, to connect to minecraft server instead of the IP with this host? I was previously able to with GoDaddy, but that option went when I switched host.
    And am I able to do private domain registration? Not a big must, but I would like to stay concealed :)

    • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ 9WEB on 15/01/2014 - 15:39
      +2

      Yes to all the above. We offer free DNS hosting for you can point your subdomains to any IP you wish. I personally also host some game servers and instead of direct IP's, I just have gs0.[domain].com

      Private registration are available. You need to specifically request it however, just submit a support ticket requesting the private domain registration and we'll handle it from there.

      Let me know if you have more questions =)

      • PowerB on 15/01/2014 - 15:48

        Wow, fast reply! Is there any extra charge for private registration? Also, is it worth transferring my domain considering I've recently renewed it for another year?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ 9WEB on 15/01/2014 - 15:52
          +2

          No extra charge! If they end in .au the transfer is free. If they're the standard .com .net .org etc… then it'll cost $10 to transfer which includes another year on top of the expiration date.

        • PowerB on 15/01/2014 - 16:14

          Awesome! Thanks for answering all the questions! I've put my order through :)
          Will the transfer take long to take effect?

        • Store Rep[Deactivated] @ 9WEB on 15/01/2014 - 16:21
          +1

          Probably a few business days. We also send out a confirmation email to the whois Registrant Email. You'll need to click the link before the transfer takes place.

          If you have any difficulties shoot an email through at: [email protected]

    Hmmm tempting and a very good price.. This would be excellent to create my own monitoring service to check my home router as well as a website @ work and sites I've done for friends.

    With the cronjobs is there a limit how often they can run? Ideally I'd like to run it every 60 seconds - a small php script to attempt to establish a connection to a port (like 80) and if it fails send an email …

    I would assume there would some limits on number of emails to be sent per hour? (not that I'd see it generating a lot)

    It sounds like this is a great company and people really love them. One thing to consider is that this hosting service is regularly available for $2 a month, $24 a year - so don't necessarily rush to make a decision just to save $1 a month.

    • tomclancy on 15/01/2014 - 19:23

      Also consider this is saving $1 per month for life. So if you host for many years you can save a fair amount.
