Hello everybody, Personally I use www.icdsoft.com to store my websites since more than 10 year. For 72$/year (48$/year if renewal) in economic ! It depends the volumes of storage and transfert (the business formule : 10$/m and 8$/m if renewal).
There are new servers in Bulgaria for 4.6€/m but I don't yet use it (the support service is the same). http://www.icdsoft.com/hosting/shared/bulgaria Economic and very competent support. They answer questions in a few minutes, 24/24h 7/7d ! I am very very satisfied with the service and support !!! King regards. *__Eddy__* 2013/9/10 Glenn Plas <gl...@byte-consult.be> > On 2013-09-10 14:08, Nicolas Pettiaux wrote: > > Thanks.
