What is the Catch?
You do not have ADDON domains. Which means, you cannot use this account to host 100 different websites.
No Shell Access.

Thanks, basically you just edited the Ideal plan, edited the description and made it even MORE expensive... Just awesome...dude, only a spammer posting 5000 lines could get 100 dollars a year/month or what ever..

[Baniboy]

Why? Why everyone is overselling these days? What is the point of this when you don't allow stuff like streaming, IRC and other bandwidth-raping features? This is pointless! Why not add-on domains and no shell access (although I've never used, but might be useful). This is useless. There truly is a catch, and this particular catch is incredibly stupid.

I wouldn't say that, for example my earning ratio is $0.17/post and if raised to 20 cents a post I would have to post 500 posts a year to keep that plan up. I'm a little lazy on posting but if I had the motivation and time, it would be easily achievable.

USD $97.80 per year, so it's about USD$ 8 per month. Well, i don't see any reason to choose this package though. With my earning rate at the moment, it could take me to post a whole year to pay this one.

This is pretty lame... The Unlimited Plan for $7 a month was probably the best plan on the site and now its been replaced with the same features for double the amount and there is NO way people would sign up for myCents to get that plan.. you have to be more reasonable. I was seriously considering planning that plan with myCents and now i cant But i am curious, what happens to the people who already have this plan? Do it still continue or is this the last month/year?

Opaque this plan competes with Dreamhost price as far as i know. But Only trouble in the plan here is add-on domains/shell access restriction. >_< I mean what's the point in that ? I don't think anyone will pick it up just to host single site or it's subdomain sites. Maybe some people will do for membership sites. On the positive point, i can say this is good plan for those who are into membership blogs, subforums etc etc.

Not competitive in comparison to justhost, fatcow etc. But oh well i'm not sure if they offer streaming sites scripts if they do then their plan overtakes this unlimited plan.

@Fougilang, people are using plans from Dreamhost, hostgator which costs similar (except that shell access and add-on domain point). So 97$ a year is what people are paying out there for un-metered service. So any-one are from trap17, not from outside it. People outside are paying that much amount for 1 year trusted hosting.

My only guess about opaque's restriction is that he doesn't want anyone to abuse the service(by starting rip-off hosting services like hoswoot.com etc). Which i can clearly guess from the restriction that he placed.

This hosting is best for my members who are interested in giving a lot of data, graphics, music and videos for download. Who wants to create unlimited email accounts and distribute it to his users or clients.. etc. Not allowing Addon-domain and Shell access feature prevents abuse.

Allowing this package for monthly term is again asking for abuse. I have members who buy a package to upload massive data and choke the servers. After their job is done, they leave. :-)

We have this new package which is even more reliable and we even backup your data on daily basis. Due to the risks, I prefer it to be mainly available for good contributing members and precious clients with credit card.

I just got a HUGE hint for site... I could make my site with a small hosting plan (logic pro) and then gain enough money from ads and other stuff so that i could get money from there and some from mycents! Of course, that is if you take money from myCents and PayPal at the same time. I was wondering if you can pay like that, thats probably the only way i can get that plan...or post for a year and by the time i get my plan, its gonna be 2012 and we are all gonna die.. and everything is gonna be crazy and the internet will be waste after that.

dang! i don't know what the fuss is about. you still have the two lowest packages available which would really suite most any website. the first package includes 5 addon domains and what...the second offers ONE HUNDRED. i think it's good that computinghost.com is mixing it up a little bit and i can definately see an advantage of that type of hosting although it really does promote over selling where computinhost said they wouldn't stoop, and started on that path a couple years ago or so.

i still think that one day computinghost should start thinking about competing with the other well known webhosts out there that offer virtually unlimited features for 5-$6. but see, when you offer such low rates, you run a very big risk of someone abusing the servers as well. but that's why the cheapest prices are for a 24 month term.

well i personally like the package, but i doubt i would ever need it. if i were to change it, i would definately offer 3-5 addon domains. the people complaining about how they can't earn enough mycents in a year are people who don't know any better and just like to complain about any little thing. in fact. people CAN earn $100. i started with $90 in june of last year when i bought my hosting and a domain for a year which cost me $30. so i was left with $60 credit. it's now 8 months later (2/3 of a year) and i have almost $300 in credits now. so i am averaging more than DOUBLE that hosting package every year. the key is to post for your hosting if you want the package you want. so if people can complain how they can't earn enough mycents, i guess opaque can complain how people can't get off their butts and post. works both ways folks! although we never see him complain. i can imagine him sitting at his computer desk thinking all sorts of thoughts! haha....

Maybe you should think about offshore hosting and allowing linking to Warez, A ton of offshore companies earn more that normal web host's like this.
