Web Hosting Scams – What Some Web Hosting Providers Aren’t Telling You
By Sage Kalmus
It’s hard to separate fact from fiction in advertising, and certainly no less so when dealing with web providers. Bold, broad-sweeping claims are endlessly repeated in a shameless effort to keep you from reading the fine print. In an age where it seems there are almost as many web providers as there are websites to be hosted, competition is fierce, and competing web providers will say almost anything to get you to sign up with them.
That’s why you need to know what to look for, how to read between the lines, so that you don’t fall victim to any of the most common scams that plague the internet in the guise of once-in-a-lifetime offers you absolutely can’t refuse.
Free Web Space: Yes, some web providers will give you 5 or 10 MB of web space for no charge, however (and we know you’ve heard this phrase before…) certain restrictions apply. Make sure you know what they are.
Unlimited Bandwidth: There’s no such thing, plain and simple. The web providers themselves have limitations imposed on their bandwidth; how can they offer you any more than that? They can’t.
When web providers offer “unlimited” bandwidth it means they’ve estimated how much usage their average customer could ever possibly need, thereby giving the illusion of unlimited bandwidth.
Free Domain Names: Sure, they’re free, but so’s dirt. You want some free dirt? We didn’t think so. Free domain names are about as valuable. First of all, they look something like this:
www. webhostingprovidersname.com/user/usersname.html (or some equally excruciating variation thereof).
Now, consider this:
First, most internet surfers are wise to these types of URLs; people know that companies with domain names like these are not usually the most well-established
Domain name prices increase yet again.
Domain name price increases coming in September 2008.
New Management Support and Accounting system
The Arjay Management Support and Accounting system is now up and running. All billing and help tickets for Arjay companies, including WebNameHost will be done at this site
Rick Sutcliffe elected to Board
Elections to the CIRA (Canadian Internet Registration Authority) board have concluded, and Arjay Web Services owner Rick Sutcliffe was one of those elected.
Space Increases
Effective immediately, the amount of disk space on reseller accounts has been increased by up to half again as much at no extra charge. Enjoy.
Our new server
All WebNameHost accounts are on a powerful dual Opteron server. Page loading times are up to ten times as fast.
Combating spam
The Northern Spy has an article on combating spam.
We are an eNom ETP
We are an eNom ETP partner. If you are a bulk domain seller or reseller, create a nameman.net account, contact us, and we will give your account the lowest possible eNom reseller price.
New domains
We offer more domains through our nameman subsidiary, including .ca
or reputable businesses online.
Second, the more slashes your URL contains, the lower your page rank.
And third, no one will remember the name of your website!
These are just a few of the reasons why free domain names aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.
Domain Registration: Now, this by itself is no scam; to the contrary, it’s a useful and convenient feature many web providers offer. Some, however, will actually register your domain in their name. This way, they locked you into service with them as switching web providers now means losing your domain name.
Web Templates: Don’t mistake us, web templates are great. How else can the average computer user whip out a website that looks halfway decent without spending a fortune? But what web providers don’t tell you about these templates could end up costing you later.
Any images or page designs or web forms or any other objects that originated from your web providers database belongs to them. They own the copyright. If you ever switch web providers, you can’t take any of it with you.
Not to mention, if you ever decide to hire a professional webmaster, many will refuse to work with template-driven websites, as they’re (ironically) harder to manage.
No Contact Information: If you can’t find on their website at least one way – email address, query ticket, phone number, mailing address – to get in touch with the web providers you’re considering, stop considering them.
Discounts for Long Term Contracts: Before falling prey to this alluring gimmick, ask yourself, even if your website lasts as long as your contract, are you sure your web host will? Web providers (like websites) are born and die every day, and they know it. That’s why most of them include somewhere in their Terms of Service that they won’t be held liable if they can’t fulfill their end of the contract.
So, if they go under, so does your website. And if you go under first, say goodbye to the money you paid for the long term contract. Either way, it’s no bargain. Stick with a year or two at most.
No Guarantees: Whether for web providers or wetsuit manufacturers or weight loss programs, they’ve got to have a money-back guarantee. These days, it’s essential. And there’s zero reason you should ever pay for a product or service that doesn’t offer some form of money back guarantee or another. Really, now.
