Wanted to add extra

[mreccentric]

Hi,
I'm using free hosting, and wanted to have a future of adding some more MySQL databases and addon domains to my existing account. Is it possible?
Will be thankful if anyone helps regarding this.

Not on free Free Hosting, no. You'd need to upgrade to Prime to get anything extra at all. (There used to be a way to get extra by becoming very active here in the forums and becoming part of the volunteer support team, but I don't know if that program is still in effect after the forum software switch. But that was limited anyway.) If you want more than one or two extra databases, you would need to use the Premium (paid) hosting solutions.

hi essellar...
just went to the upgrade page, and saw there is three upgradable options. Can i use the 1$ per month upgrade?

Hi mreccentric,

Both our Prime and Illuminated packages will double your MySQL database limit from 2 to 4.

Thank you,

Hi Dead-i,
Any 50+ or unlimted addon domain, MySQL takes? I can spend how much ever all at once.

here is a link to all of the shared Web hosting plans that x10hosting has --> [ https://x10hosting.com/wiki/Plan_comparison ]
they also have VPS plans --> [ http://x10vps.com/ ]

 

[mreccentric]

Thats good! But, i'm looking for a one time expenditure, since i can't afford much right now.
Don't wanna miss the association with x10, though there are ppl providing the same.

 

[essellar]

It's $142 up front for three years' service. How little were you expecting to spend?

 

[mreccentric]

sorry... feeling uncomfortable to say the number. I wanted a service that provides me for a lifetime/long run.

Hi mreccentric,

I'm afraid we can't offer a one-time payment for x10Premium, though I feel a subscription service would definitely be a better deal in this case, as you can choose how long to sign for. You can choose to signup for 1 month, 1 year, 2 years or 3 years, and we offer discounts for how long you sign.

If you're not looking to spend so much money, and you're looking to host your website for a long time, and you want quality service, perhaps our Illuminated hosting would be more suitable? It equates to about $1/month, and will set you for 5 years. Illuminated customers are hosted separately from other plans, and also comes with all our lovely Prime features and a 99% uptime guarentee SLA.

Thank you,

 

[mreccentric]

but what about the addon domains and MySql databases?

 

[Dead-i]

Hi mreccentric,

On Prime and Illuminated hosting, we double your limits from free hosting. Therefore, you will have unmetered disk space, 4 addon domains, 2 parked domains and 4 MySQL databases.

Thank you,

 

[mreccentric]

okay.

 

[mreccentric]

Dear Dead-i,
Please let me know if there is any package in my budget with upto 10 addon domains. I would like to shift to it for some years for sure.

Unfortuantly, we don't know what your budget is so the only thing that can be done is estimations of what you may have.
If you do get $1 monthly then it MAY not problem (physical cards often are in 5 and 10's so if you're planning to get them then you need to save up for a few months), if not then it would be a no-go.
As stated above, you can't do a one-time payment (∞).

Just to add to this for clarification purposes, the "As low as $1/mo" part generally requires pre-payment of a specific term. In the case of Illuminated, it's $1/mo but requires a 5 year term, so it'd come up as $60; if you click Purchase you can see this as well. Of the three, Prime has the lowest initial cost at $2.95/3-months.

As was indicated however, for 10 addon domains free, prime, and illuminated wouldn't be enough (they have 4 addon and 2 parked). Depending on your budget x10premium might work ($6.95 a month, or less per month if prepaid in advance), but without knowing the actual budget amount this would be up to you to look into.

 

[mreccentric]

60$ for 5 years... i'm ready to pay that but how many addon domains and SQL databases will i get?

 

[essellar]

Again, as has been pointed out several times, it would be 2 parked and 4 add-on domains, and 4 MySQL databases. If you want more, you need to use Premium Hosting.

 

[chatngox]

Not to mention, if you upgraded to Prime, Illuminated and Premium you get dedicated support like support tickets and support guaranteed. Response Times Not Guaranteed could mean they're not giving you that quick respond or prob went to sleep while fast respond will answer your question asap or fast as possible. If can't afford it now, I suppose Prime, Illuminated not too expensive.
While speaking of paid hosting, will it revert to free after expires (if you don't pay anymore)?

There is no automatic way to migrate your account back to our free servers once you're on the paid ones. You would need to make a full backup of your account and transfer it back to free.
