I have no problem paying more on a yearly basis (although the OP was
more concerned), but it's great to get a set of reference quotes.
To add to the confusion, Sonic.net (whom I adore) also offers hosting:
Basic 15000 Megabytes 150 Gigabytes 150 $19.95
An IP-based virtual host on Sonic.net's web cluster. Includes shell and
FTP access, MySQL database service.
Value 5000 Megabytes 50 Gigabytes 50 $9.95
A name-based virtual host on Sonic.net's web cluster. Includes shell and
FTP access.
Any feelings as to how these compare to the others?
