What’s up with all the web hosting companies? 2 months ago we had someone gone insane, and now this?!!

Btw what’s up with all these ex-GST price? You guys selling mainly to overseas customers?

zhenjie on 09/12/2008 - 16:11 ¶

So these are Australian based hosting?

edit: Ok Brisbane based, “Dedicated Host services are hosted within our Data Centre provision being Brisbane’s largest Tier 2 data centre, carrier neutral facility with minimum N+1 redundancy for power and cooling systems, delivering an optimal operating environment to clients 24x7.”

Are we able to choose Melbourne and Sydney locations

Hipsi on 09/12/2008 - 16:18 ¶

I just tried signing up for the $5.95 one, but even after putting the code in it still told me I was up for around $5 a month…..and charge me for transferring my domain…huh?

M27 on 09/12/2008 - 17:08 ¶

Same experience here. Considering DedicatedHost posted something dodge yesterday, i seriously doubt this guy is using OZBargain for advertisement.

M27 on 09/12/2008 - 17:09 ¶

Maybe we should ban this user from posting.

jongah on 09/12/2008 - 16:50 ¶

Coupon Code has no effect. Price stays the same ?? Have to add 10% GST to prices.

zhenjie on 09/12/2008 - 23:11 ¶

This is shared hosting plans as well. Just the company is called ‘Dedicated Host’.

twig on 09/12/2008 - 23:16 ¶

thanks

Graeme on 09/12/2008 - 17:02 ¶

Dedicated Host on 09/12/2008 - 17:21 ¶

Hello,

I’m sorry for all the confusion - all should be rectified now.

And yes, we are based in Brisbane but you have 3 options to choose from (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne).

Dedicated Host on 09/12/2008 - 17:22 ¶

And to your question scotty, we do actually have quite a few international customers expanding their services. Hence, the ex. GST pricing.

Dedicated Host on 09/12/2008 - 17:29 ¶

Graeme,

You have the option ‘I will update my nameservers on an existing domain Or I will register a new domain.’ You will see this at the beginning of the process.

zhenjie on 09/12/2008 - 18:34 ¶

Jeez some of you guys are harsh…

ozpete on 09/12/2008 - 21:38 ¶

Yea but dont worry - some have a habit of caning deals - a little look at their past comments on various deals indicates that they are severe bargain hunters. Problem is that if you take their comments to heart you would post much at all. reminds me of old saying - if it doesn’t add it detracts…

So moral is use negative comments as a guide, but check the history of the commenter as much as the post itself.

SimBer on 09/12/2008 - 22:25 ¶

wow seems like an awesome deal.

Can you add any bonuses when signing up to this deal if you would like to register a .com.au domain?

covert on 09/12/2008 - 22:30 ¶

I am the most critical of most of you guys. Esp when it comes to hosting that I know something about. And this deal is GREAT. I mean GREAT !…

a cpanel host for $6 for the YEAR WTF. You will not find a better bargain for hosting. not even close.

pauly on 09/12/2008 - 23:26 ¶

Awesome deal. Will have to choose between hightekhosting and this when come renewal period next year. :)

zhenjie on 10/12/2008 - 08:53 ¶

That’s what I’ll be doing also. These deals should be great for hosting non-critical websites. 20 add-on domains for only $6 a year crazyyyyy

test8888 on 10/12/2008 - 00:48 ¶

It’s a great deal, but the code is not working on VPS and they don’t have Windows share hosting - not suitable to me.

tantryl on 10/12/2008 - 05:45 ¶

They have a somewhat checkered ABN history: http://www.abr.business.gov.au/(3zvud0fq3euw0zig1w5ouvey)/abnDetails.aspx?History=True&abn=98223504413&ResultListURL=

And I think dedicatedhost.net.au has only been registered for a very short period of time.

I’d avoid this one.

Dedicated Host on 10/12/2008 - 08:10 ¶

Yes, we have been in operation for very few months - but our staff (including myself) have a very large background in IT.

We are also partnered with Melbourne’s largest privately owned datacentre Micron21 (www.micron21.com.au)

mick123 on 10/12/2008 - 08:38 ¶

is it legit?

surat on 10/12/2008 - 08:43 ¶

Hi James/Dedicated Host support,
I am new in this web info.
This is just web hosting only, am I right? If I would like to apply for a new domain, do I get it for free or I need to pay every year?
90% off for life as long as I still join and pay every year? and how about your hosting special ie Special Offer #01 , do I still get 90% off for life?
If I get a new domain, is my domain will appear in google search or other search engine?
Is 90% off is transferable if I would like to upgrade to a better plan?
Your 1800 how come is close at 9.40am today. I need to ask you something hence I posted here since no one answer and I hope your 24x7 support will answer my queries if I join with you. Thanks and please let me know for the above questions..

covert on 10/12/2008 - 15:12 ¶

Try there email mate. sales at dedicatedhost.net.au

And your Q about google has nothing to do with dedicatedhost. Best you ask google that……..

By the looks of your knowledge of the internet you would be better of paying a company/person to do your internet stuff like webpages, domain names, hosting.

harpie on 10/12/2008 - 09:11 ¶

I purchased a domain name when the MYOB deal came up. Its onhold as the business I am in wont start till March next year.MYOB are not hosting, I just purchased the name for aroun $10.
How do I go about hosting , transferring the domain name to Dedicated Host? I have very litle idea about such things and the support phone number is un-manned at the moment.

covert on 10/12/2008 - 15:15 ¶

2 main steps are needed.

1) log into the NEW host you want the domain to be active on and enter it into the hosted domains it has. Note down the name server while you are logged into this site.

2) Log into whoever you got the domain name from and change the name server to the name server of the new host.

If you did it right 24 odd hours later the DNS will point to the new host.

Dedicated Host on 10/12/2008 - 10:25 ¶

Hello everyone,

If you have any inquiries please email them to sales@dedicatedhost.net.au as this will be the easiest way to manage all queries.

Thanks

Graeme on 10/12/2008 - 22:52 ¶

I’ve sent two emails with questions on two different business days to this email address and no response as yet.

mick123 on 11/12/2008 - 07:49 ¶

i got replies within about 5 minutes of sending inquiries. Are you sure you sent it to the right place?

Graeme on 11/12/2008 - 09:53 ¶

Yes .. I am sending it the the email address sales@dedicatedhost.net.au … will resend for a third time and see if I get a response.

Dedicated Host on 10/12/2008 - 10:26 ¶

Also, in regards to the phone number - our PBX and IVR system are being upgraded.

Hipsi on 10/12/2008 - 11:01 ¶

Dedicated Host, I just had another go but it’s still trying to charge me $34.95 for the domain transfer.

Dedicated Host on 10/12/2008 - 11:05 ¶

Hipsi,

I’m gathering that this is a .com.au domain name? If so, there isn’t much we can do about this as this is what our suppliers charge us for transfers.

Hipsi on 10/12/2008 - 11:08 ¶

ahh fair enough. yeah it’s .au

harpie on 11/12/2008 - 10:26 ¶

This is a VERY new hosting provider and won’t be around for much longer.

http://www.webhosting.info/webhosts/reports/total_domains/DE...

Plus, the ‘testimonial’ on their website (morganconley.com.au) isn’t even hosted with them.

jongah on 11/12/2008 - 14:42 ¶

NEW can be good. A Bargain!.

your webhosting.info link is hardly reliable.

if you try that same site for Jumba.com.au - a fairly popular Host.
you will get ZERO results for Total Domains.

Dedicated Host on 11/12/2008 - 12:52 ¶

Hello there,

We are indeed going to be around for quite sometime - we have quite a detailed and steady business plan in place which will keep us in the loop for the minimum of 24 months.

mynameislee on 13/03/2009 - 21:05 ¶

So much for that business plan… hey?
