I paid both AOL and MS.com in the earlier days.

Also, we own and manage a couple of domains for business purposes. For that I use [b]webhostinghub[/b] reasonable price, great support, lots of features and options.

@Heartlander Thats cool. hope you are making good money. actually i am planning to do some online business. and trying to see what kind of services people would pay.

@navigatorTR I really love the versatility of Web Hub. Been using them for about 5 years. We use it mostly for internal interaction for staff, like time logs, group schedules, assorted resources, etc.

@Heartlander Is there anything that you say "id pay for that" ? :)
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@navigatorTR Yes, our subscriptions include database servers, e-mail servers, and basically unlimited space for our web sites. I don't recall the exact $$ but it's somewhere between $150 and $250 for the year. For people that want to use web content management packages ( I think they are called CMSs), like Word-Press or such, they provide them part of the service, at least the main trunks. Specialized 3rd party add-ons will have to be imported from elsewhere.

@Heartlander so you want one product as a bundle i think. right ?

@navigatorTR

No, the services are bundled and comprehensive, but one also has the options to use a comprehensive CMS within the service to build and manage some or even all of their web site. Some web hosting services charge for components, like X$ for e-mail server, Y$ for domain hosting, Z$ for database server, etc.

We however roll our own for the websites and use a dozen assorted tools and services to fill our needs as necessary (I'm an old programmer). But for those who want a bundled package like Word-Press, Joomla, Drupal, etc., it's available at no extra cost.
