Your host
 

On this thread, tchescow asked about hosts in Brazil, and some people mentioned which host they use.

I think it would be helpful to have a complete list of hosts that FIRST teams use as reference when looking for hosts. Please post information about whatever host your team uses or that you use personally. Include the name/website, price, and other basic information about the host.

well.... the two that i know of and have used in the past are;
www.bravenet.com and www.freewebs.com
(they come in free packages and yearly/monthly fees, i can't remember)

Re: Your host
 

Our team uses Powweb, as they have twelve gigabytes of storage, 300 Gb/month of bandwidth, one-click auto install of the most popular open source software, as well as a ton more stuff. I really like the 12 gigs of storage - that way I can host tons of files and never have to worry about taking down old content to keep new content. (I really hate finding dead links to files that no longer exist!)

And getting all this for only $7.77 a month is (IMHO) a really good deal. :cool:

I'm not sure what we use on 358, but I've had personal success with LiquidWeb hosting, and they have a good variety of packages for teams to choose from.

Re: Your host
 

Team 1640 uses VizaWeb (http://www.vizaweb.com)
They have great prices and great support!

Re: Your host
 

We have our own dedicated server at the school running Ubuntu Linux (a debian derivative)
Nothing like owning your own web site! It's free to us too :)

Re: Your host
 

1065 has 3 sites, only one is updated and it is hosted on freewebs. We are considering moving to sevaa becuase of the free hosting for FIRST. the other two sites are on the schools severs and have to follow strict guidelines that we wont be able to comply with the new site (to much paper work and parental forms).

FNS Network in Franklin, VA is offering free web hosting to teams in Virginia and may eventually spread the offer to other teams. Team 616 was formerly hosted on FNS Network, and Team 1610 still is.

Check out the FNS Network FAQ for more information.

www.totalchoicehosting.com. $4 per month gets you 450mb storage, 10 gigs transfer, unlimited everything else, and Cpanel, the best control panel out there. $5 per month bumps that up to 850mb storage and 20 gigs transfer.

Re: Your host
 

We use iPowerWeb. $95.40 a year, comes with a domain, 10,000 MB storage, 250 GB bandwidth, 100 subdomains, etc. etc.

Re: Your host
 

We used to be at Ventures Online (bought out by Data393 ). We just recently moved to ev1servers. Both are very reliable hosts, with slightly different hardware packages and pricing structures.

site5.com

$7.77/month but you can host 5 unigue domain names for that price. Register domains at godaddy.com

Re: Your host
 

FYI: FIRST Brazil (www.brfirst.org/?lang=en) is looking for donations in order to host our website in Ipowerweb. If you're interested please contact me.

Re: Your host
 

We use Sevaa.

Re: Your host
 

My question is this: What FIRST Robotics website (other than Chief Delphi) could possible require nearly $100 per year for hosting? That is outrageous. Is there some special reason you need 10 gigs of online hosting? What website could you possibly build to be that large? Also, I advise you to look at some reviews like these:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...ight=ipowerweb
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...ight=ipowerweb
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...ight=ipowerweb
of your potentially soon to be new host.

There are cheaper and better hosts out there.
