• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Hello everyone!

As most everyone knows I run Dryline Hosting, where many storm chasers host their websites.

As I often do around this time of year, I am doing market research, to see how we can better enhance and/or improve our services. I have some very cool changes in mind, but since the majority of our customers are storm chasers and StormTrack members, I most certainly like to get their input!

I have created a poll on the main page of our website, if you would kindly take a moment to go vote on it.
http://drylinehosting.com
The poll is on the right side about halfway down.

I also interested in hearing any feedback from current, past or potential customers as to what you would like in web hosting.

More specifically, what would make you chose Dryline Hosting over another web host (or what made you choose if you are a current customer)?

Also most certainly would like feedback on our current hosting packages.
Too many to choose from? Cost too much? Need to charge more? Whatever.

Your input is vitally important as I use it to try to tailor Dryline Hosting to the web hosting needs of the storm chase community first!

Thanks everyone for your time!
 
I use 1&1 Developer Package


19.95/month

300 Gigs
Unlimited bandwidth
4000 E-Mail accounts
5 domains included
Plus various other little things.


I've been very satisfied with their uptime and and speed.


I see the poll was mostly about "unlimited" packages.

I find that there is nothing "unlimited" and when I see that term used, I immediately look for the fine print to see why this will suck.

Verizon used to sell "unlimited" broadband..........As long as you stay under 5Gig

So what did you find in the terms for 1&1's "unlimited bandwidth"?

EDIT: I checked their terms and found this:

Bandwidth use, including but not limited to data retrieval from your Web Site, e-mail traffic, and downloads, shall not exceed six gigabytes per month.

So I guess 1&1 is like Verizon's "unlimited" too.
