  • 5 GB Disk space
  • Unlimited Emails

    Lifetime of what?
    Lifetime of the owner of the domain? (then I will get my grandson to sign up)
    Lifetime of the domain?
    Lifetime of your company?
    Lifetime of you data centre?
    Lifetime of the universe?

      Lifetime of a failing business… no thanks

        Harsh - you got any evidence? I don't know these guys, but price alone looks quite reasonable. Assume it's four years and it's not a bad price at all for this type of account. No idea about performance.

    SSH access?

  • +3

    That's a great question that never came up before!

    The lifetime hosting account is an account that you own for as long as you want it. You have addon names so domains can be changed as much as you would like. We can also add on extra domain names if necessary. If you decide to transfer the account, then it becomes the new person's lifetime account. I hope this all makes sense. It really just means that as long as you require hosting for your website(s), it is yours.

    Feel free to ask any other questions.

  • On the website, it says $400 though.

      is "airlie" from above a coupon code? Did you try that?

    • hello A3, uhmmmm, by any chance are you the "A3" from Whirlpool?

      btw: how do you get that "Report" as above? is it some type of "whois" enquiry?

      Cheers!

      • +1

        try whois.sc/vzanda.com

        this site is easy to remember and great to use, just put the domain name you want to whois after "whois.sc/"

    Unlimited traffic as well? What's the uptime guarantee? Can we get shell access?

    Selling unlimited of anything without a big fat * at the end seems like an unsustainable thing to do.

    Is the system Heartbleed proof?

    • SSL is not part of this offer - heartbleed is therefore irrelevant.

  • $120 for 5gigs and unlimited lifetime everything :o

    How do you make money from that?

    • I wonder what the turnover rate is for new sites that don't take off. I don't know, but it seems like a high percentage of users with a 'good idea' would fail within a year and abandon their account. This means minimal space usage and no traffic to speak of.

    • +1

      companies offer web hosting for $10/year. they just cram heaps of customers on to a single server. so $120 is equivalent to 12 years of hosting, if indeed the company does stay in business that long.

      Our web design clients are our only hosting clients at the moment. As a PROMOTION of our services, we are offering this to OzBargain visitors. We are a local business so we have a face to the public and the trust. Hosting is a very small part of our business as we do marketing to include helium inflated blimps and balloons as well as other local services. We host and manage many mining companies websites.

      We make money from the trust and loyalty of our happy returning customers which currently stands at 100%.

  • There was a company back in 1997 or 1998 that used to offer lifetime hosting. It went tits up a few years later but I used to love looking a their site and looking at the price list for lifetime hosting. The machines they were running on were state of the art back then but would be antiquated rubbish dump material these days.

    I can't quite remember its name, but it had a whole bunch of robots as mascots on its pages. Can anyone who remembers the early days of the commercial internet recall?

    If they are confident and survive, this is one of the best deals I've seen for web hosting, like another person mentioned above, even if it lasts 4 years, it's pretty worth it

    • +3

      Thanks Zeckman.

      We are not held together by hosting which is why we are trying to offer the public a bargain, after all this is OzBargain. After seeing some of the responses here, we might just keep our hosting the way it was which is to only serve our web design clients and keep them free of hosting worries. We deal mostly with businesses and we take away all the web related headaches from their business so that they can worry about the real stuff.

  • Could I use this to host a minecraft server? Currently using a port forward, easy enough to run on my own server but can I run it on this server or am I limited on what scripts I can run?

  • +3

    I did not expect some of the responses on here as I was under the impression that people were in search of a good deal as I am a frequent user of this website and appreciate the deals associated. We primarily only open up our hosting to the local Airlie Beach community without advertisement which is why it is reasonably priced at $400. For a limited time it is $120 using that coupon code. After dealing with clients that have been paying $400 per year for hosting, we have formulated this pricing plan for those types. This hosting suits businesses which is what we primarily deal with so it may not suit most visitors to this bargain. As there are more options in this category, please feel free to explore those as they might be more along the lines.

    Secondly, I am not associated with 187 other domains.

    • I wouldn't take it to heart. You have a number of people that like to knee jerk react to whatever fault they can pick (aka, the internet). Answering questions as well as you have usually deals with the situation.

  • Can it be used for ecommerce?

    • +2

      Yes it can be used for eCommerce.

    • +1

      I would not recommend you use this deal for a eCommerce website. Pay a little more for proper support(and a SLA) if you're going to be using it for business reasons, and not personal.

  • Thank you :)

  • Any suggestions for a cheap domain registration to go with this?

    • Godaddy is always your best bet.

    • Crazy domains is often cheapest

  • Will you be keeping the offer open until 31/05/2014?

    • Hi whodidthat,

      The Lifetime Hosting Coupon 'airlie' have been set to expire on the 30th of April.

      • expired already?

  • This seems like a good deal. I see you don't currently offer any other hosting packages, what would happen if I purchased your hosting and then needed 10GB of space, or other changes?

    How much bandwidth is included per month, or is that also unlimited?

  • Confirm SSH access and I'm in.

    • Does this help? http://www.demo.cirtexhosting.com/

      Again, I am assuming based on Cirtex

      • Thanks, man, but it doesn't necessarily mean vzanda will enable it, let alone at no additional cost.

        • That's ok, I did read after posting (from a few years ago) that Cirtex charged $25 to enable. I don't know if that changed at all.

          As you say, it may depend on vzanda enabling, or making a charge.

      Hi SaintBen,

      SSH access is included in the hosting package.

      • Beauty. Just signed up.

  • Do you offer any other services? Possibly a package with the ozbargain deal? I need a website built as well? Cheers,

  • OP, how many domains can I host? 1 only?

    • He says 2 add on domains up the top. That means three in total, that will be effectively independent of each other add far as the users are concerned. I'm trying to say they won't be sub domains.

    • +1

      3 domains total.

    REALLY ?? Hotmail ???

    Not that is no good or anything but at least a business should get a @domain email ….

    I'll pass this offer.

  • You can get 3 years worth of hosting for $53.87AUD …. (and that's expensive, you can find even cheaper).

    So… for $120 you can get 8 years of hosting. I know is not lifetime but still sounds a little more thrust worthy.

  • Rep has picked up his bat and gone home. I thought the comments were reasonable and similar to other hosting offers on here, which usually get a hard time.

      Hi Daabido,

      The hosting package is being upgraded to offer more services. The offer will be back soon.

  • EXP 30 APRIL

    Big warning sign? Vzanda rep not honouring own deal? Or am I too paranoid?
