1) Several Brazilian Teams support FIRST Brazil website. The payment method should be a national invoice (not credit card and etc). If we move to an web hosting in another country, we'll have to pay for it.

2) We pay $10 monthly for 400mb 4gb traffic. This month our bandwith went to 3gb. I can't upload anymore videos or big files. Space has finished.

We're stuck in brazilian servers and we cannot move for now.

...So I think we'll keep using this web host for now, it's the best we've got.

Personally we've never had trouble w/ iPowerWeb, everything has worked and their support has been fine whenever we've needed it. $95/year is $7.95 a month...not much more expensive than anyone else seems to be. Also the reason we use it is because true...we don't need all that room or bandwidth, but for a little extra a month we have it. Best bang for the buck. :)

So, basically if someone asked - I would recommend iPowerWeb to them.

Our website actually costs me, actually my business M-Pute, about $109 a month :ahh: But this is because I am connected to an sDSL line (guaranteed speed) and I run my own webserver and 4+ websites. Unlimited bandwidth and about 1TB of storage.

To me anyone in FIRST should work through SEVAA. Its free to any FIRST team and there wouldn't be any paperwork to get approved and any country should be able to log into their servers to update the team's website.

Our site is donated by one of our sponsors. thebubbler.com a local company that designs websites. A partnership like this works out great, espically since one of our members now has an internship there.

Our team uses part of my hosting plan from http://dreamhost.com/
I have the L3 plan, which gives me upwards of 400GB of disk space and near 5TB of bandwidth (it grows weekly). However, they have plans starting at $9.95 for monthly payments or you can get what I believe is 20% off if you pay 2 years in advance. Also, you can find tons of user-made promo codes that will knock $97 off the price of yearly or bi-yearly plans. Which makes the first year of hosting only a couple dollars for L1.

Also, they're a big host (A couple hundred thousand hosted sites) which means they know their stuff. I haven't had but 1-2 downtimes in the few years I've used them, and that was because their entire data center lost power (which, IIRC, is the same one with Myspace housed inside it).

i currently use 1and1 the Linux business hosting package works great. (3 domain names, 200gigs of storage, 2terabytes of monthly bandwidth, 2000 email addresses, 50 mysql databases, 200 subdomains, and its only 10$ a month. i use it for my teams site, and a separate one for myself. works great.:)

Re: Your host
 

Our school has strict policies regarding where our robotics team (or any other club/group in the school) hosts its site. Therefore, we are required to host on our school's own server, which is a good thing really, because it theoretically means no quota for disk space (other than the amount of storage that the server itself has). We also have more control over the site this way. So, we have the good old town.k12.state.us URL.

Personally, I host my website with godaddy and I have the Deluxe Linux hosting package.

Res and a half! This thread is almost a year old!

I've seen a few other "who do you host with?" threads pop up in the interim, and I'm sure a quick search could answer all your web hosting question needs.

Re: Your host
 

Amazing hosting:

Servage.net

250 GB Disk Space, 2100 GB Bandwidth, Unlimited FTP accounts, 1000 MySQL DB (v4 and v5), 1 free domain name, and much more.

$7.50 a month.

That is way more than most sites need, and for a price cheaper than mosts sites who offer a tenth of the services this site offers.

While I think our team *might* use our own servers, I personally have had great success with duport online.
