whats the deal? why would i pay $20/month for webhosting?
how is MT superior to GoDaddy or Dreamhost?
- monNom0
'cause you can put their logo on your site.
(mt) = instant design credibility.

lame. dreamhost deals are better at this point.
i will switch over to dreamhost when my deal with mt runs out.

yeah, it does seem like a status thing or something. i've never been able to figure it out.
i'm shopping around for a new host after my crappy off-shore host screwed the pooch continually this week.
Thinkng either Dreamhost or GoDaddy. Anyone have any stong feelings about either of these?

i think people pay it because big name designers use them and they are really reliable, and its the whole by designers 4 designers thinking...

i have dreamhost accounts with three sites, never have had a problem with them. plus! you get to use squirrel mail! how is that not better than being able to put that ghey (mt)™ logo on your site?

Ha now I understand!!! no wonder why I am no famous I never put their logo on my website....
hahahaha
I've been with them for 3 years now and I worked great for me. I've never had a problem with them.

dreamhost is looking much better at this point. MT deals with problems really quick, which I like alot. But $20/month is insane.

doesnotexist is there any down time with dreamhost?

i use it because the service is very good. and yeah, they've given us great discounts and have on many levels been loyal to the community of designers.
to me, MT is not as faceless as godaddy and dreamhost. which quite frankly can be cheaper or whatever, but i have no idea or reference about their service and/or trustworthiness.
and no i do not put an (MT) logo on my site, they did not ask me to.
and what the fuck means godaddy for a company name? reminds me of incest or something. not good.

the only time ive had downtime was actually two weeks ago and ive had accounts with them for 3 yrs. first time in three yrs and it was for like 6 hrs.
ive never needed any of their customer support, so i dont know how they are on that. but they are a good, employee owned company. plus, their rates cant be beat. if youre a new customer you can google codes to get near $90 off! i remember i did that for my first and ended up paying like $12.25 for my first year.
