Hosting Dilema...

Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2005 8:24 pm Post subject: Hosting Dilema...

Please help me decide what to do.

I have 2 sites hosted here and am very happy. I pay £30 per year, on the basic hosting plan, to have 1 primary domain and one addon domain hosted. Jobs-a-good'un as they say 'round 'ere.

I've been given another site and would like to have that hosted here too.

Should I set up another brand new account, or just upgrade the account I currently have so it can host another addon domain?

Pros and cons.....

Upgrading
---------------

Everything in one place.

I don't know how bandwidth hungry this new site is, so any bandwidth left over from my other 2 sites (about 3-4 gig per month left over) can go towards this other site, giving it a whopping 8-9 gig per month.

Upgrading (at the next renewal) costs about the same as having 2 seperate basic accounts.

New Account
------------------

New site has different everything, meaning a brand new start.

I get to host one primary and another addon domain, so I can move my other, dinky, site here too, meaning that my entire family of 4 sites will be here, spread out over 2 accounts.

New account will have no more than 5 gig in total bandwidth per month.

Seperate details, so if I decide to trade-in my site (for some top-trumps perhaps....), I can just sell the entire thing at once. (Not that I would - I really mean that if I go away and the site needs updating or changing, I can give someone the details and they have complete control of everything, not just use an FTP account)

So.......... Any thoughts?

Well, it's hard to call - for you it'd be easier to just upgrade, for us it makes more sense for you to get two packages. We don't mind either!

I think I'll go for the upgrade option.

How can I instigate this?

I can do this now for you? Which plan would you like to move up too?

I'd like to go to the "plus plan", the one above the £30 per year one, mostly to ensure I can have another addon domain. The extra space and bandwidth is obviously welcome too! lol.

With it being about half way through the year, can I assume there will be a tiny bit off the full year-long price?

Sure, I've sent you an email and corrected next years payment + upgraded your package.

You know what? You're ace!

I've filled in the necessary, and got the "all paid for" email just now. Thanks Andrew!
