**brokensoul2271** · 08-07-2005, 03:32 AM

I wouldnt do it.. if they havent replied after 3 days its not worth it.. what if you had a problem? could you wait 3days to get a response..?

**fubu233** · 08-07-2005, 06:26 AM

hey the guy just replied back today.. he also gave some of the sites that are hosted by Killerbyte...

**brokensoul2271** · 08-07-2005, 06:57 AM

e-mail the sites owners for their opinions although if it took 3days for a reply it doesnt lok to hopeful...

Stay far far away....

Red flag #1 -- unlimited space/bandwidth for $3 month!? Considering unlimited anything doesn't exist, offering it for next to nothing is impossible.

Red flag #2 -- 3 days to reply... that is unacceptable.

Red flag #3 -- No contact information on their site. They have no physical address and no phone number.

Red flag #4 -- They only accept paypal. Anybody with an email address can get a paypal account. Most credible hosts would have a credit card merchant account.

Seems too good to be true, but I might give it a shot.

**Duport** · 08-07-2005, 05:16 PM

There server or hosts server is at ThePlanet I don't see any un-metered servers.

I found this out for you http://www.siteuptime.com/statistics...&&UserId=28330 remember that is monitored ever 1 hour so 99.9 uptime is looking rather outdated

**dk40k** · 05:26 PM

Cool thanks alot Duport, also I never knew you are on this forum.

I was thinking about getting a new host, and I liked your host alot.. Is there any way we can get more bandwidth on your plans?

If you care about your money you'd stay away from them. 3 days and no reply ? Think if your site(s) go down and you need to contact them asking what is the problem. Also if you want quality you have to pay for it .. 3$ for almost everything ?!?

Could not locate remote server

You tried to access the address http://www.killerbytehosting.com/, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

It seems to be down now.

What a suprise, they probably couldn't handle all the clicks from this forum

Not only do we offer quality service and support for all our web hosting plans, we also guarantee reliability with our servers having 99.9% uptime. This is important, because we know that your website is important, and it is no use paying for web hosting when no one can get to your site.

They guarantee 99.9% uptime, but after checking http://www.siteuptime.com/statistics...&&UserId=28330 it appears they have never reached anything like that.

They look much better they Killerbyte Hosting and may be worth a try. Let us know how it goes.

**dk40k** · 08-08-2005, 10:48 AM

Yup sure, I'm just wondering about the uptime for it.

**fubu233** · 08-08-2005, 06:18 PM

maybe i'll try this hosting a lil bit later around next year.. dat way i can know how bad or good it is..

i've already collected a list of its client, dat way maybe i can ask them about Killerbyte

**dk40k** · 08-08-2005, 06:27 PM

Can I see the sites too? (PM)

**KillerByte** · 08-31-2005, 07:25 AM

first of all the servers down time has purely been the fault of the colocation company hosting the servers, they "accidentally" deleted and decommissioned the hosting server (including wiping the hard disk).

for all those skeptics, the servers were quad 2.8GHz Xeon CPUs on an OC12 line. although you may not believe that a host can offer unlimited anything, would you really use unlimited everything? the answer is no! Almost all the accounts on the server were using less than 50mb of disk space each, and barely reaching 1GB of transfer a month... should someone want to use more then thats fine, we would increase the disk space on the server

unfortunately now, due to further events happening outside of killerbyte hosting, the company will be handed over to new hands.

Just thought I should answer a few of your questions, its not always a case of you get what you pay for, but if you want to pay more you can still be choosing a host with poor service or anything else you can think of...

I think that this host is auful.

The uptime is 99.2 99.3% for the last 2 months.
3$ unlimited hosting is impossible.
There is no unlimited nothing
The servers in THE PLANET are not unlimited.

I don't know how you can reach those uptime with THE PLANET.
I think your servers are very high with the bandwith, becouse that
host unlimited everything is the answer for companies with
auful uptime, they are not reliable and 99.2 99.3% uptime is the auful
uptime I have even seen !

Dont use this host it really sucks !
Get webhosting from company with normal prices.
