Cyberwings (http://www.cyberwings.com/) are currently hosting this site. Ever since we first emailed Shawn, the CEO of Cyberwings, he has been very helpful & friendly. As regards the hosting, it is very cheap, and support is fast & friendly too (through their forums or email). If you do signup, please quote us as your referer. We do not get any money from this, but since Cyberwings have sponsored us, it keeps them happy (if they didn't get any signups through us, they might ditch us Sad

).

And how's the up-time? And the speed and load on the servers? Since you're already hosted, please share some experiences with the service other than their swift technical support (which I have witnessed myself),
like why did you need technical support in the first place. Also, are there any tips you can give to people who wish to signup for Cyberwings? (I, for one, intend to sign up for two hosting packages from Cyberwings, and would value any prior input you can give)

Uptime, as you will have noticed has been excellent, apart from about 15 minutes downtime when we just got the account, which was due to a router problem, beyond their control. As for tech support, I only needed it to report a security problem, which was fixed immediately, and to ask about a problem with magic_quotes, which was also resolved immediately. The rest of the emails weren't really tech support, they were questions about our account.

how much would 20Mges of space cost?

Look @ their website Roland! And you should contact hosts personally for more information, not post here, as Shawn doesn't have time to read these forums very often.

How does the PayPal payment system work? It sounds better than using your credit card number.

Paypal are just an intermediary between you & Cyberwings, so instead of paying Cyberwings, you pay Paypal who then pays Cyberwings. The advantage of Paypal is that people on the Internet can pay you money, and then you can spend it for signing up with Cyberwings.

Here's a sample phpinfo: http://www.plesk1.cyberwings.com/info.php.

I personally prefer Plesk, because it has more options, but that's up to you. Try out both the demos, and choose the one you prefer.

Please ask your other questions in the Cyberwings Forums.
