Well astahost has been great, so I decided that I would move on to computing host. Well, after going through, having the payment come through paypal....my account doesn't exist on computinghosts site...so now I paid for hosting but haven't gotten any.... I am somewhat dissappointed by this, seeing how astahost provides such great service for free, and yet I pay for computing host only to get changed for it and get nothing. I'll see, maybe it just takes them some time for their system to process the accounts. But it would be nice if they said something like that. "Thank you for purchasing your hosting. You'll recieve an e-mail when your account has been set up"....but I haven't even gotten an e-mail from them saying that I purchased my hosting. Only one from paypal. Edit: ok, i just got an e-mail saying my account was set up. So i guess it just takes a bit of time for them to process the information. But maybe that isn't the case with all accounts created. However I can say. The server so far seems really nice and fast! I'll keep people updated on my experience with them.

So, it seems that you lost one day off your paid hosting time. I hope that computinghost will give correct this, and give you one day service more as a matter of apologizing. Glad to see that, nevertheless, the paid service is nice and fast as expected. Regards Yordan

I think I've had the same "problem" myself when I got an account at ComputingHost. It took some time for my account to be activated (half an hour or so), during which I panicked quite a bit  But as this is not really an error or anything like that, I can easily say that the past two months with ComputingHost were thoroughly enjoyable and bug-free

The speed is amazing (so much faster than the server that all of these free hosting accounts are on). And it seems reliable so far. (not to mention that cPanel has a little bit better looking skin)

Like most services, you must be patient for the system to fully process, so I'm not surprised that you needed to wait up to a day, even though the usual wait time is within a day. xboxrulz

Glad to hear that your both having a good experience of the Computing Host hosting, I am probably myself going to be going the paid hosting route in the next month orso. Good to hear that you didnt have to wait too long for the account to be set up. I think the biggest pain for me is going to repointing a lot of customers websites and mine plus my testing "sandbox" that I use to test design layouts for potential customers. One thing I have to ask, how is the speed of the MYSQL? I am pretty reliant on it for a lot of the sites I host are Joomla sites so I need the MySql to be the best.

I'm pretty sure it won't be slower than Astahost due to the fact that the client per server ratio should be lower than on the free servers. xboxrulz

I would assume that as the main website stated that they uses delicated server for better performance and reliablity. Anyway just a question since this topic started it. So is the free server limit on the CPU processing for each account? like 25% for free server and 100% for paid server. I'm also considering doing paid server as due to work constriant. So anyone knows the information stated in this forum? Thanks

Well as far as I know, Astahost and Trap17 share the same server for everything - Gamma server As for paid hosting, I am certain they do not overload the servers as much as Gamma gets overloaded.

I can tell you that my website loads a ton faster with computing host than it did with astahost. So, websites will perform better with computing host due to there being less load on the server.

The main reason for having two identical type of free web hosting services is SEO. AstaHost is geared towards professional topics. Therefore, you'll notice that articulating your point of view and proper posting structure are strictly enforced here in AstaHost. Trap17 is geared towards gamers and loungers (basically the general topics). Two identical services but two different audiences. Many members find their preference to be in certain standards of discussion. Although Trap17 was created initially the first, AstaHost followed quickly.

To your side question, OpaQue posted an article here ages back stating why he had too different forums setup. I think it went something like he originally made Trap but then wasn't sure if the Trap name was scaring people off, so he started AstaHost. I think it went something like that  I'll See if i can find the post!

Astahost, A Review By Me
- (4)
I've been with astahost running my website for nearly 2 months, and that is long enough to have
a good enough opinion to review, so I'll go ahead. Astahost is, so far, the best host I've
ever used. My previous, Core-Fusion, was almost as good, but sadly they changed their post-to-host
system to needing to make 50 posts a month rather than, say, 10 good posts. Astahost works
differently, and judges by the wordcount of a post, and it's quality. A good 5-line post will
keep your hosting credits at a steady amount if done daily. The forum is always filled wit...

A Suggestion For Astahost

I rather like many features that Astahost provides, and it's been a great two years here. There
is one proposal that I'd like to make concerning the credits. And no, it's not about getting
more credits per word or anything like that, but rather that an email reminder every time my credits
fall below a certain number. (Say five or ten credits?) would be really, really nice. I think
it'd be easier to post on time that way as my current schedule is very tight and I often end up
estimating my post/check cycles on Astahost to be slightly off. Just a suggestio...

community behind it. You don't get this on Geocities, netfirms or any site I can think of. The
community is great!, the service is absolutly phenomenal! I just wanted to take a few

Kingofhosts.com - Excellent Free Web Host

For those who need a website that needs at most 5,000 mb; require FTP uploading, PHP & MySQL, and

Fantastico, PHPpgAdmin, and a lot of other free features that Astahost offer. It also has a bottom
text-ad but that shouldn't be too bad. I recommend this for those who don't want to pay for
a webhost or for those who can't keep up the activity here in Astahost. This t...

Astahost A Place To Play, Nothing Else

When I discovered Astahost I thought I had found a very unique place for my hosting needs. Not only

discovered the site. The old saying that "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is",
definately holds true here. On Saturday, August 13 (yesterday), my credits were suddenly reduced
from 31 to 13 for no apparent reason. I also lost use of my domain for most of the afternoon and
early evening as well as my FTP access. This is the second time in the one week period I ha...

good, there was only a small banner on top, very small, but after a while they suddenly added the
google ads. The server is also limited. I couldn't get the mail function working (nor php, nor
