Anybody tried Web Hosting Pad??

[Kwinzee]

Has anybody had any experience with a company called Web Hosting Pad?
I am temted as they have an offer for 4 years hosting for around $95. Including unlimited domains, bandwith, diskspace etc etc.

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them, and if so what did they think?

Thanks..

They lie to you right there on their homepage when they say "today only" (it goes on for every day), so how do you expect to treat you when you become a customer?

Have been switched on a couple of weeks now. So far things are ok. Have been keeping an eye on uptime through basic state uptime monitor, which checks every 15 minutes, and have just yesterday set up the one free account with pingdom uptime monitor. Pingdom will check site as frequently as every minute if you wish. Not neccessary in my case.

I have yet to get a report from pingdom, but according to basic state the uptime so far is 98.23% average. It isn't the stated 99.9% but, for $1.99 per month I am not complaining.

I have been monitoring a site with my previous shared host also. My friend pays something like $20 or $30 per month with atcihosting. So far the uptime has been 96.99% on average. So my host has had a better uptime, so far that is.

As for response times, web hosting pad has averaged 0.875 seconds for total response times ("time to last byte"), whereas atcihosting was slightly quicker at 0.748 seconds. But I cannot deny that the response times can sometimes be far slower (only sometimes though) peaking at around 35 seconds. But again, for $1.99 I am not complaining.

Obviously you do not actually get unlimited space. What you do get though is 10GB diskspace and 100GB bandwidth. For my present situation, this is as good as unlimited. Host as many domains as you want too.

So far I am happy with them. If things carry on as they are now, I would be pleased with my choice. As a starter host they have everything I need and want.

I will no doubt invest in a better host in the next year or so anyway but web hosting pad is there as a backup for the next 3 years, for $71.64. And I've spent at least twice that, on a friday night on the town before now. On more then one occassion.

So thumbs up for now!!!!

4years for such amount is really very tempting yet i'm not sure if they really will provide such service but i believe they're lying. have you talk to someone who have availed their service?
