Price Value
StartLogic's budget package has one of the lowest prices around for the value. For $4.95 you get unlimited disk space and bandwidth for not 1 but 50 domains (check their T&C for the fine print on "unlimited"). Free bonuses like $50 Google AdWords credit and a $50 Yahoo! Search Marketing credit pump up the value even more.
This basic package (and all subsequent packages) come feature-packed. You'll get unlimited email accounts, a choice of secure shopping carts (including PayPal's), Frontpage extensions, browser-based email and a web hosting control panel, plus log files, site stats, and MySQL, PHP, PerlScripts and CGI-BIN support.
Your account comes with free multimedia features included, like real audio and video, streaming audio, Macromedia Shockwave, MIDI File Support and MIME types. You'll get a complete FTP manager with backup and password protection, a website builder loaded with templates, plus a publisher and a logo and slogan editor. You'll get unlimited POP3 emails, forwards and autoresponders.
The promotional tools that come with StartLogic's hosting packages are among its greatest features. Get a 500+ page marketing manual, a search engine positioner and submitter, Meta Tags and Keywords Generators, a Link Checker, and $50 matching credit for advertising. In a way, it seems like StartLogic gives you everything but the computer.
