Certainly, it is real! You must be used to those hosts that offer you unlimited everything for $8 a month. Well we're not them. That deal may seem good up front, but if you're running a simple blog to keep your family updated on how you're doing, you're likely not getting anywhere near your money's worth. Who knows, your site may cost you less than $1 a month on pay as you go hosting (or it could even be free!). So why not give us a shot?
Yes, seriously! The why part is very easy to answer. Because we can. We found it much, much easier to do things this way. It benefits you, the customer, because you pay as little as is absolutely necessary for exactly those services which you use. It also gives us much more incentive to see you succeed. The better your website is doing, the better we are doing. How many other web hosts out there hinge their own success on yours?
There is no catch. When you initially sign up, you pay a (minimum) $10 deposit into your account. Your account will be provisioned and you can log in to MUHDash and begin your hosting experience. From within MUHDash you can add money to your account when it gets low.
Simply put, the payment processor takes a fee for their services, which we absorb. Requiring a minimum of $10 makes sure that the ratio of fee to funds received isn't bad.
We credit the full $10 (or however much you deposit) into your account. We then bill you for the resources you use, deducting funds from this account at the end of every month. Most web hosts out there require you to pre-pay, and in a round about sort of way, we do too. The difference is, with other hosts that $10 might last only a month. With us, that $10 could last you an entire year!
Put simply - to help keep out spammers and wrong-doers. These people are less likely to want to provide this information. Now, with that said, we will protect your personal information that you provide to us during the signup process. Read more in our Privacy Policy.
We have a custom built application called MUHDash. From within this system, you can manage all aspects of your hosting experience. Add and remove domains on your account, create new mailboxes and databases, and view your current usage and charges. It doesn't get much easier!
