    Before I leave GR this friday, I need some opinions about my hosting.

    After reading the 2 options below, please vote in the poll.

    What kind of hosting would you rather buy?

    Option #1
    Web hosting with low prices and a lot of webspace/bandwidth BUT you can ONLY use your webspace and bandwidth for your website purpose. Meaning you cant just store files on your space and use it as your personal harddrive and such. Basically, you can only use your webspace/bandwidth for web practices ONLY. This is how Invivo Host was.

    Option #2
    Web hosting with prices that seem a bit high compared to other providers and a decent amount of webspace/bandwidth and you can store whatever you want on there and use your webspace/bandwidth as your personal little storage if you want. This is how BlitzOut currently is.

    Please vote, I will make new hosting prices IF people vote #2.

    Option #2, I would have no use for a real website, only personal storage.

    I would personally choose #1 because im not really good at making websites, so my site would be pretty basic, and be mostly for practice.

    I voted for #2

    While i would of course use my webhosting for my website, I don't think LIMITING it to storign things as part of the website should be restricted. For example, if someone awnted to share a file with a couple people but is too big to email, they can put it up there. Its jsut a lot more convenient that way.

    Option 2, because I couldn't make a website without being able to store files. Even though Option 2 will cost more, I think it's worth it.

    I wouldn't, cheap prices on hosting actually drive me away, the cheaper it is, the more negative aspects people are likely to find, although it's not always that way, I'm just talking about from personal experience....and since most people need some things stored so that they can get them out to others, option #2 would probably be the most widely chosen one.

    even though for me atm number #1 would be best if i started a small site to shop my work but i voted number #2 because
    most ppl want their site too be more professional and even a few extra bucks can make a huge difference if i bought a webhosting
    it would be number #2 it jus offers more qualitys but also if u put
    a lot of webspace/bandwidth instead of decent it would be a bigger
    success and i think it would atract alot more attenion gl man since
    ur leaving soon ;)
