This is a Value Added low price web host providing php tutorials and support. Low cost does not always comply with the old cliche = You Get What You Pay For. However, in this case the plans provide hands on tutorials (usually via IM); therefore, the clients actually get a Lot more ! In other words, this is not a cheap web hosting company but a Value Added Low Price service!
IBDhost hosting support personnel specialize in training that allows creation of dynamic sites with php tutorials. This includes teaching beginners how to write php scripts and to generate dynamic forms (just one example). If it's a rush job, IBDhost employee's will write all the php code for the site as an 'example php lesson'. And remember the php lessons are free 'hours' for clients - as shown in the 'value added' hosting plans.
P.S. We specialize in training for webmasters / webdesigner / other web host. Teaching them how to use HTML and CSS code that validates. Normally, the code will validate / meet - W3C XHTML 1.0 - see validation link on bottom of all pages
Note: We donate free sites to support groups for IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) - such as Growing Up IBD; CDAI, Crohn's Disease Activity Index, etc. Contact us for details if you know of an IBD site that needs help with their web site.
Some 'so called' low price web hosting companies may show lower prices. However, look for hidden cost such as setup fees, charge for domain registration and even more importantly, note that these companies do NOT offer free hands on training / tutorials. IBDhost service is perfect for clients that want to learn and at the same time build a professional web site. The clients can then become php programmers, design experts, and perhaps competitors.
Many competitors offer more bandwidth than ibdhost.com but it's a gimmick (publicity stunt) because these companies know that most clients will NEVER use the amount of bandwidth in the plan. But the real trick is that if the client does use those huge amounts of bandwidth then the plan cost will increase because the host will inform the client that the site is using too many resources (such as too many cpu cycles). Therefore, the clients may be forced to upgrade to a dedicated server at several hundred dollars a month - just in order to actually use the bandwidth that was promised in the plan.
A real neat trick for the 'big host' that can pull this legal trick because they actually have hundred's and hundred's of Gigs to 'promise the client' - knowing that 99% of the clients will never need even a fraction of the 'promised bandwidth'. If the website does become so popular that it requires large amounts of bandwidth, the site will have to move to an expensive dedicated server because of excess server loads (another good excuse for the host to charge more $$$).
IBDhost service offers honest plans with huge savings in the fact that it's often not necessary to hire webmasters, programmers or teachers to learn how to build a professional site. And while the site is growing clients never need those HUGE amounts of bandwidth that competitors use as a 'sales tool' (gimmick).
When clients do reach the 'professional' level, IBDhost can supply info for dedicated servers that are only a fraction of the cost of the servers at the 'Big Boys' (who use these publicity stunt's - gimmicks). And if the bandwidth usage reaches a 'medium' level, IBDhost can make special allowances (see item #2 in specials) to provide 'unlimited' bandwidth ! BTW: a small business is very unlikely to have to move to a dedicated server because the IBDhost plans provide more than enough storage space and bandwidth.
All Value Added plans include free setup, free cPanel and free hours of training! For pre-paid accounts of $110/year or more, the domain registration is free. If a new client is not satisfied with the service / his account, a full refund is avaliable (see plan comparison for refund periods for each plan)
Note: To view a demo of cPanel, the most popular control panel for user accounts, go to cPanel Home page and use their demo link.
The main objective of this Value Added low cost web hosting is to provide a service for clients that want to learn how to control their own web site (to avoid paying professional web designer fees).
The Value-Added feature includes hands on css and php tutorial service that is NOT offered by other web host. In other words, IBDhost provides customer service / training not offered by the competitors.
