WTF? An Update?

Woah! Long time no update, eh? Well I think it's about time. I've been very busy at work lately and I've just not had time to be honest. I've been learning a lot of new things. Like how to use the Zend Framework, how to use Ubuntu through command line and use the Blueprint CSS framework.

I recently decided to take the plunge and set up a small business, hosting websites. I wanted to do this because I'm sick of all the shit you get, and have to go through, with regular website hosting companies. "250Mb space, 1Gb bandwidth - Only £4.99 a month!". Bullshit.

I had two choices:

1) Become a reseller for my current web host, or
2) Set up my own web hosting server.

Option 1 would have been the cheaper choice, but it didn't come without it's limitations. I could only host 10 websites before having to purchase another upgrade, meaning that earning potential was very low. The advantages to it were that everything would have already been in place.

Option 2 is more expensive, but gave me unlimited potential. Host unlimited domains, and give me the ability to upgrade software as I wished since I like to have shiny (read: latest) copies of all my software.

After a LOT of debating and searching, I decided to go with option 2. Yes it required a lot more work, but hey! It's all good. I was doing something that I enjoyed (I enjoy all things web related) and beneficial to my future career.

So, to show my love to the web world I have come up with the following hosting plan (yes PLAN, not PLANS):
Unlimited bandwidth usage
Unlimited disk usage
Unlimited MySQL Databases
Unlimited email accounts
Free .co.uk domain name for two years*
PHP5
MySQL 5

All this for:
Monthly: £2.50
Yearly: £25 (Save £5 off monthly price)
2 Yearly: £40 (Save £10 off yearly price, And £20 off monthly)
All payable by paypal.
30 day money back guarantee! No questions asked.

*Free domain name only with yearly signup or greater

So, if you feel like you've been messed around by your hosting company, please don't hesitate to email me at ashley@ls12style.co.uk
