Supanet offers free web hosting a thousand clients.
UK Web hosting provider Supanet Hosting (supanethosting.com) announced on Friday it is extending its free one year hosting promotion to an additional 1,000 customers.
"The rush to sign up meant that a number of people missed out on the offer, therefore we have decided to continue offering it for a limited time only so even more people can experience our top quality Web hosting services," says Andrew Barton, marketing manager for Supanet Hosting
The company recently announced it would offer a free year of Web hosting to the first 1,000 customers who applied.
Wait, wait. Slow down.
Err, well that sounds great and all but after doublechecking the terms of service for it on their website there's a catch. What may you ask is the catch?
The free hosting account is subject to a £5.99 setup fee. Oops, I guess there really is no such thing as a free lunch. Or in this case free web hosting. As far as I'm aware this breaks a number of laws in the UK -- anyone care to let me know which specific ones?
IPowerweb / IPower clients enduring massive problems
It seems that IPowerweb / IPower clientele are experiencing massive problems since Friday of last week. According to several Hostjury readers users of the IPowerweb / IPower service have been unable to check their e-mail since late Friday evening.
According to our sources it appears that Endurance International Group went ahead with their planned server migration without notifying any of their clients! The result is continuous problems and issues, clients unable to check their e-mail & unable to login to their web hosting accounts.
One IPowerweb / IPower user stated that technical support seems oblivious to the migration stating that the issues were a result of "Corrupt passwords" and would be handled within a few hours. Over five days later and the problems are still occurring.
We suppose the Endurance International Group name has another possible meaning. Just how long can their clientele endure problems!

GoDaddy has influx of growth!
During the month of April GoDaddy has reported over one million domain names total registered. According to their site a domain is registered, transferred or renewed every 1.3 seconds via their website.
In April over 2.3 million domain names were added to the internet. GoDaddy's registrations accounted for over 50% of that amount.
"I've heard people say all the good dot-com names are taken & that's just not the case," says Bob Parsons, Go Daddy CEO and founder. "The Web is just getting going. We've only scratched the surface."
Then again with someone who chose the name 'GoDaddy' back in 1999 it can't be hard finding a name. For everyone else it's impossible!
