Check out this verbage for Stormweb WebHosting. They advertise on Google as being cheaper than Godaddy. (Like thats a good thing). We all know that Godaddy has rock bottom prices and the best value for money considering how little they charge. So anyway heres a comparison of the different deals from both providers:
For Only $2.99/Month, You Get:
100 MB of Web Space
Don’t let your web host cramp your style. 100 MB is plenty of room for the budget-conscience web developer. If your site isn’t using video and other large media-rich content, this package might just be perfect for you.
5 GB of Bandwidth/Month
That’s more than a DVDs worth of data transferring from your web site to your visitors’ desktop. Put another way, if each web visitor downloaded a 30 KB (typically sized) web page, you could accommodate 160,000 visitors.5 E-mail Addresses
Each e-mail address gets its own POP3 account. POP3 is the standard protocol for reading e-mail on the internet. You can use any mail user agent you want. From Apple Mail to Microsoft Outlook to Qualcomm’s Eudora E-mail. Give each of your employees an e-mail account or use them all for yourself. StormWeb puts the power in your hands with our Web-Based Control Panel (see below for details).E-mail Forwards
If addition to regular e-mail accounts, you can use these to forward e-mail addresses at your domain to existing e-mail accounts on our servers or elsewhere.
Web-based E-mail
That’s right, you don’t even need a mail user agent. With our web-based e-mail access, you can read and send e-mail from anywhere that has web access. Do you have more than one computer or travel a lot? If the answer is yes, this is perfect for you.Virus Protection
As part of your overall virus solution, all StormWeb accounts include e-mail virus protection. Our virus scanners check every messages with virus definitions that are updated every 30 minutes.
Basic Spam Filter
Sick of spam? Our anti-spam filters intelligently block most spam without affecting your regular e-mail. (We also offer an advanced customizable spam filter option for $2/month extra.)Godaddy:
$3.99
2 months
No Long-Term Contract Required!
12 or 24 months
Space :5Â GB
Bandwidth: 250Â GB
1
Â
Email Addresses: 500
Space / email : 10 MB
So heres the rundown:
Godaddy provides 500 Email address (100 times more) vs 5 from Stormweb
5 Gb of storage from Godaddy(50 times more) vs 100 mb or (0.1 GB)Â from Stormweb
250 Gb of transfer from Godaddy (50 times more) vs 5 gb of transfer from Stormweb
Conclusion : sure its cheaper in theory, but you are getting WAY less. Better off going with Godaddy if your budget is that low.
Don’t get me wrong but Stormweb is going to need to find another line of business if this is the way they intend to compete with Godaddy
