Gossimer - Affordable Web Hosting

Posted on December 15th, 2007 by IBabel under Reviews

Gossimer.com is a modestly affordable alternative for web hosting and domain registration.

With hosting plans starting at just $5.95 per month, Gossimer is definitely one of the cheaper options out there. However, this does not always indicate quality service.

I have not used this service for web hosting or domain registration but on the outset they look professional enough.

There are, in my opinion better options out there in terms of value for money. I pay $7.95 a month and get all of what they offer in their $13.95 ‘luxury’ plan, 99.9% up-time, a brilliant support service and I have to say. A hell of a lot more bandwith and space than they offer.

This is obviously subjective as pricing with web hosting companies can vary up and down depending a lot on how big the company are themselves. The hosting company I am with, are very big players so I suppose they can afford to charge that little bit cheaper and offer that little bit more.

Then again big companies can sometimes treat their customers as numbers; not fully taking into account all their needs and requests. Virgin Media is a classic example.

Gossimer also start domain registrations at just $8.88 per year. Which is pretty good. I buy all my domains using Namecheap and have never had a problem with them but $8.88 is a fair price.

So going with the smaller option though a bit more expensive can sometimes be a good option. So if you fancy giving Gossimer a go… go for it!
