Ok, so I'm looking to start a forum site...and I need a web hosting service.

I had a look at Exabytes and their rates are expensive....almost RM500 for a year for what I'm looking to do. Where else, GoDaddy.com shows it as about US$5/month (and with unlimited bandwith).

Is there any reason Exabytes so expensive? Is GoDaddy reliable? Which (honestly) do you think I should choose?

Thanks!

Is that a new startup webhosting company in Malaysia?
The price is extremely cheap.

Had a really bad experience with Exabytes , now switch to GoDaddy (SG server) with is much better and faster and cheaper

sum1 in the same boat as me who got fed up with exabytes. after i have read your post there, conclusion is they have a really lousy support.
in your case, if their support had apologize to their users instead of blaming on user, they wont lose their customer.

in my case, i used to have reseller acc with exabyte, and was so angry with their support for my request.

i have nothing against exabytes services, their services are great. just fed up with their support and their attitude handling customers.
