Your 2 cents Worth of Webhosting November 1, 2007

2 cents won’t buy much today, except webhosting at www.NearlyFreeSpeech.net. I just opened my account with them and they gave me a whole 2 cents, to get me started. I was so impressed with thier generosity I gave them a dollar.  www.NearlyFreeSpeech.net has got to be the most incredible webhosting company around today. They charge you for what you use ,$1.00 gig bandwidth and .01/mb/month, there is no time requirement on the bandwidth. They will charge you a dollar when you use the gig. What they don’t do is impressive also. They don’t have static IP addresses, hence no secure http. No dedicated server, no co-location.No email, except one forwarding address. Just plain shared hosting. They cater to the small website and that is all they want to do. They also have MySql process for 1 penny per day. You can have as many databases as you like, under the one process.

You can make payments as small as 25 cents (equals 19 cents after paypal cut).  When your site runs out of gas (gas = money) it will stop running. They explain that most of the sites that get “slashdot it” pay about $10 for the whole mess.

I will post back after I have had some time to absorb the whole thing. Just another choice to in the web hosting arena.  Check it out let me know what you think.
