Hey guys, so just like I promised last time, this is the deal for the Ultimate plan, $10 a year (recurring) comes with:

10GB Disk Space (SSD)
100GB Bandwidth (monthly)
Unlimited FTP Accounts
Unlimited Email Accounts
Unlimited MySQL Databases
Unlimited Subdomains

And one very important feature: Softaculous
It saves you A LOT of time if you are installing scripts, like WordPress, Drupal and Joomla etc.

The coupon code works on Annually only.

The server is located in Chicago, and the speed is pretty acceptable from Sydney.

If you don't have a domain name yet, you are welcome to register through us, or elsewhere, as long as you update the nameservers correctly, it will work.

Also, I have been getting many duplicated questions, I have added a few Q&As in the knowledgebase, and I'll be adding more as I get more questions that are asked frequently.

    Hosting packages seem to be flavour of the day today. This one seems to be the best value. I have some questions…

    1. Is the 100Gb bandwidth per month or per year?

    2. Do I definitely NEED a domain? I just want the hosting to play with Joomla and try out different modules, extensions etc. I had hosting once that didn't need an actual domain.

    Thanks for posting

    • Bob81 on 25/03/2014 - 19:00

      I'm interested to know the answer to these questions too.

      • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 19:09

        The answers to the questions:
        1. Per month
        2. To be honest, you can put a fake domain and it will still work fine. (The fake domain won't work, but in the order confirmation email, you'll get the temporary URL, so that's what you can use to access the site.)

    • phamid on 25/03/2014 - 19:52

      Correct me if I'm wrong, instead of a domain, you can typically do this:
      Http://[hostname]/~[cpanelaccount]

      • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 20:18

        That's right.

  • GaelicAU on 25/03/2014 - 19:10

    USD$10 or AUD$10 ??

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 19:15

      It's AUD though the link provided.

    Hi
    I want to migrate everything from my existing cpanel webhost to your webhost.
    Can I migrate to your webhost by providing my cpanel full backup file?

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 19:40

      Sorry, right at this moment migration is not offered :(

    Just curious, does SSD really offer anything over HDD in the world of hosting, surely overkill/hype?

    I know nothing about such matters so I'm probably not getting the awesomeness of it.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 19:47
      +2

      Honestly from my experience I haven't really seen any difference.
      It pretty much just sounds better and people would rather get SSD if the price difference is not huge.

      I'd say probably a few ms difference when loading, no one is really gonna notice it.
      CDN (Cloudflare) technology is gonna make a bigger difference.

  • ethanol on 25/03/2014 - 19:56

    So far so good. I made a mistake when ordering (had my VPN switched o, so billing country & IP were not matching), ordered again but got USD billing - VERY fast response from support and original account closed / refunded and set-up again.

    cPanel is complete including Clourflare, SEO tools, …

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 20:18

      Thanks for the order!

    I like that the store rep is giving honest answers that agree with the correct technical answer, even if it means less revenue :)

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 20:29

      I'd rather be honest with my clients so they now what they are getting ;)
      (and less issues in the future as well)

  • Bob81 on 25/03/2014 - 20:03

    Could this be used as a seed-box or would this be naughty? I understand that 100GB a month isn't much but it's enough for what I need.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 20:11

      Unfortunately no, VPS would suit you better.

  • JetBombat on 25/03/2014 - 20:10

    Can I import my own SSL certificates or do I have to buy one through hostrepublic?
    How much RAM can I have for PHP?

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 20:17

      around 200M is the default.
      You can actually change that yourself in cPanel (the file upload size limit can be changed too, the default is 2mb)

      • JetBombat on 26/03/2014 - 21:48

        Thanks, I take it for the first question response is "you have to buy SSL through us and it is expensive as hell!"

          +1

          Uh sorry I forgot to reply to that question!
          I'm not selling SSL at the moment so you have to import your own :P
          SNI is enabled on the server so you don't need a dedi IP for it.

  • jsjslim on 25/03/2014 - 20:56

    Do you have an acceptable usage policy link?

    e.g, acceptable file formats, maximum file size, cpu usage limits, types of web sites allowed.

    Many of the free sites I've used before had terms like, "cannot run longer than 30 seconds", or "5% cpu usage", etc.

    • Posts on 25/03/2014 - 20:58

      What are you using the server for? I hope you're not going to abuse it and ruin it for others.

      • jsjslim on 25/03/2014 - 21:03

        Mix of technical programming and personal blog. Will be attaching zipped code samples/compiled binaries.
        Also plan to host a gallery (e.g, photos from conferences and events)

        [Edit]
        I've come across some Wordpress plugins that occasionally spike the cpu.
        Was definitely a problem with free providers (ie x10hosting and freehostia).

        File size is another limit I'm watching out for, due to image sizes.

        • Posts on 26/03/2014 - 09:03

          Can I suggest for storing images and downloads to put them on a free amazon web services (aws) s3 account.

          It will take the load off the server and speed up you website load times. There are plugins that auto upload and link to the aws storage.

          This is a pro ninja trick to increase visitor retention as nobody like a slow website. It'll also allow your website to scale for more users.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 21:06

      There's no set values on file formats and CPU usage (but obviously if your website is too resource hungry it will affect other websites, then I'll probably inform you about it).
      You can have a look at the TOS for more details, basically porn and illegal sites are not permitted.
      http://hostrepublic.net/tos

      Maximum file upload size is 4GB in cPanel, but no one is gonna put something that big… it takes too much time to upload.
      (and you can change the PHP upload size limit yourself as well, I think max 512MB)

  • NeggerOfDeals on 25/03/2014 - 21:19

    I have a plugin that will be hosted separately that needs access to the MySQL databases. Is this possible on HostRepublic? My current web host doesn't allow remote SQL connections.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 21:40

      That is allowed, in cPanel you are able to add hosts to access your MySQL.

      • NeggerOfDeals on 25/03/2014 - 21:57

        The plugin will be on a game server. It wont be running off of a domain name. Can I add IP's to access it?

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 21:58

          Yes.

        • NeggerOfDeals on 25/03/2014 - 22:07

          Thanks rep.

        • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 26/03/2014 - 01:18

          UPDATE: Remote access is disabled so it can match the security standard to store CC details, so it's not available on this server, I'm very sorry about this.
          (I have just refunded you)

        • NeggerOfDeals on 26/03/2014 - 02:33

          Have seen your response to the support ticket I made. You were obviously under the impression it was available as you wouldn't of bothered letting me purchase just so you could refund me later. I do appreciate the refund and will still recommend this deal to everyone here. A little disappointed, but definitely satisfied with the level of support you are giving everyone.

      cPanel only

        ah ok, i'm after shell. thanks for the reply.

  • mostlygordon on 25/03/2014 - 22:38

    Would this be suitable for a small social network site including original adult content, member logins & matching, forums, chat scripts and / or embedded IRC? The terms of service don't seem to preclude this. Would be using Drupal…

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 22:46

      Adult content is not allowed on this server unfortunately, neither is IRC (I think I forgot to put IRC in the TOS, I'll update that soon).
      So yeah, unfortunately this particular service is probably not suitable for your needs.

  • hectic3 on 25/03/2014 - 22:42

    Thanks rep. I'll be giving your service a go. Your attentive service on this page is fantastic - keep it up!

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 25/03/2014 - 22:50

  • ethanol on 26/03/2014 - 02:01

    Looking to try and mirror my existing site to yourselves :
    http://www.wenderhost.com/2007/06/mirror-a-dynamic-website-o…

    Can I do ssh and rsync? It references CRON jobs which I know can be scheduled via cPanel once you're confident the command lines are working.

    If not - any other way you could suggest to set-up a mirroring solution?

    • NeggerOfDeals on 26/03/2014 - 04:19

      The description says no SSH is included.

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 26/03/2014 - 09:04

      That's the only solution I know, but right now SSH is not available, unfortunately.
      I might be launching something more advanced in the future (like SSH enabled etc), when I get a server that allows me to have root access.

      There's IMAP as well.

  • rmamila on 26/03/2014 - 17:38

    Hi Rep, I've never had my own web sites before. So I just want to try is and see. It would be better to have one from your previous deal, which might be over by now if the one above has already taken the last one.
    Still I am ok to try this and see what I can do with this.
    I don't have a domain and no need to register one at the moment as I just wan to try this. However to get through your product selection page to buy this, I have to give a domain name. How can I buy without having one already. What should I enter there? (anything?)

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 26/03/2014 - 18:12

      pretty much anything, like rmamila.com etc.
      and if you wanna change the domain in the future, that is doable as well.

  • ninjalot on 27/03/2014 - 11:13

    Thanks Rep, just bought this, great deal for life!

    I have a domain with someone else that expires in a couple of months. Is there any advantage to transfer it to you now, or should I wait till it expires?

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 27/03/2014 - 12:29

      Domain names are generally quite flexible, there's no real need to transfer it right now. Just remember to transfer or renew it before expiration.

      • ninjalot on 27/03/2014 - 13:55

        Thanks!

  • gourandle on 28/03/2014 - 18:28

    can this host multiple domains or just a single domain?

    • Associated[Deactivated] @ HostRepublic on 28/03/2014 - 18:53

      One main domain to register, and unlimited add-on domains.
