Much lauded textdrive is offering a second round of textdrive lifetime hosting spots, a steal at $399. Having missed out on the first round i couldn’t resist signing up, and it feels really good. 1gb server space, 20gb traffic, up to 15 domains, support for php, ruby and python with bindings for mysql, postgresql and sqlite, and more. I’ve always found my old hosting accommodation too limiting and this should make for a much nicer playground.
As i wrote on their forums, this feels “a bit like owning, a bit like betting on the future of the company and best of all, web hosting without the hassles of renting”. I’ve only heard good things about textdrive so far and their team includes illustrious names like Dean Allen of textpattern fame, David Heinemeier Hansson of ruby on rails fame and Matthew Mullenweg of wordpress fame. If you’re looking for a good hosting deal, look no further, just go there and sign up.
Note: for now i’ll keep engadgeted.net with my old host until i have time to figure out how to make the move as smooth as possible.
