Does this ricebuster account support addon domains? Can I have multiple domains under a single account?

buzzy said:Redbeard25 said:Ricebusters in reference to e-rice.net??Yes, that's the reference, IIRC they offered it after problems at Rice - the idea being it addressed some of the limitations of Rice's hosting, especially the lack of backups and some features. Another link here, no more info but a slightly humorous "No Rice" image.

The only caution is their attitude that if you had a problem (whether with all the server moves and system changes and accounting foulups, or something else) it was somehow you who had the problem. Not that they wouldn't help, but if you dared to mention that it wasn't convenient, or might even be something they could avoid doing in the future, you didn't get service with a smile. That attitude unfortunately doesn't seem to have changed.

I have seen hosting sites with attitude problems when you ask for help because you're a newbie. It's like they are run by a bunch of 14 years old pre-teen geeks look down on "normal" people.

I'm sorry but I really don't know. I think they are subdirectories within your main hosting folder but from the outside they appear as different domains.

From my experience it's usually one shared IP. You still have a "main" domain but you can add extra domains to it but they all have their own "root" directory - unlike subdomains.

Sorry, you need to have a domain name or order one ... for $8/yr, there's no way we can include one.

Yes, I too have seen that problem in the past and it is NOT cool and also the reason I am no longer with HostPC. I know that HostPC might be the cheapest but I've always gotten fast and FRIENDLY technical support from the guys/gals at ADT Hosting Nope, not at cheap as hostPC but I never felt like an idtiot asking them questions.

The only problem I have with Hostpc is the billing/helpdesk system. They have changed it a couple times. Every time they did it, they lost my signin information and my domains were suspended without my notice.

I had to signup new accounts and asked them to restore my hosting. Kind of annoying, but they fixed it in a timely matter.

Anyway, Joseph has been very helpful. Feel free to email him if you have any problems with your hosting. I hope they can settle with WHM, the current helpdesk/billing software, and stop playing with other software.

As for HOSTPC, I highly recommend.

Isn't 1and1 the worst hosting ever?

newspup - yes, you point your domain to the nameservers at hostpc

It looks like I missed the two-for-one special. I'd ask for an exception, but the post specifically tells me not to do so.

When will the next offer be posted?

Ya never know, but I'd keep your eyes open for days that end in 8
