Quote: Videos take up a lot of space. Most people do not need much space for their websites if they don't use any videos. What would you suggest for those who do require video storage? HTML5 playback is now available to an estimated 83% of those surfing the 'net. The remainder are using IE 6/7/8 and will surely fade away and die soon. ( Info from - http://www.longtailvideo.com/html5/ ) Given that HTML5 video requires that you upload the video file in three different formats, it can be seen that 2GB will prove inadequate. Given that most self respecting website owners don't want the stigma of having YouTube anywhere near their site, I wonder what the solution is? Most low to medium budget website owners won't entertain the idea of paying for a commercial solution like JWLongtail or even Vimeo Pro. At least two Beta testers have expressed the need for a secure area for client video. I would imagine 2GB would soon get eaten up. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

You will either have to buy more space on your EasyWeb account or use another server/video streaming site or hosting service. There is always a solution that may cost a few dollars more/month. I really don't know how much less people think they can pay to have a good website up and running... If someones doesn't want to pay for a service they can look elsewhere. If it isn't offered elsewhere for the price they want to pay there is probably a reason for that. If there is something better, they can use that. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

I just do not understand some of the comments on here. Easyweb offers fantastic value ... service ... costs a small amount of money. Support the offering or clear off. The rage team are doing their very best for you. |

I think it's a good thing to bring up all these questions to clear the air. When EasyWeb was first introduced there was a lot of unfair and uninformed criticism about price/hosting both in the iWeb Forum and on Facebook. Some of these critics were the so called iWeb "experts" who hadn't even tried EasyWeb and didn't take the trouble to consider the advantages of publishing to the EW server. Why did so many iWeb users publish to MobileMe and greet the news of its closure like a national disaster? Simply because it was easier and more convenient and they were able to have website features that were hard to implement on other servers. Rather than "support the offering or clear off" I think it is a good thing for people to discuss their concerns here and to become aware of the advantages of EW hosting. I would have thought that these far outweigh the disadvantages for all beginners and most intermediate users. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

I was almost begining to regret starting this thread as it seemed to go way off topic, however, as i said before "all feedback is good feedback". Whilst this went off on a tangent, i agree that many questions have been answered. I also agree that there seems to be so many negative comments accross the whole forum that are not constructive. Having never been on a forum before, maybe this is normal, but greatful, "constructive" feedback surely is better for all. After all, we do currently get all this for Free ... in return we assist with feedback, although i realise there has to be 'the good, the bad ... the ugly'. This thread was originally created as i thought it would assist from a marketing point of view as to how to package ... sell the product, along with target market. It would be good to see that return... |

I completely agree with the last two posts here... I think it is useful and constructive to discuss and understand the advantages of using Ragesw as opposed to other servers and I am glad I asked. It makes total sense to me now that Paul has explained. Also I do think that friendly, constructive, positive discussion is great. There is nothing wrong with asking questions - when done in a friendly manner...:) ------------------------------- Yelena MacBook Pro OS X 10.10.3 IMac 21" OS X 10.10.3 |

All feedback is good feedback and there is nothing wrong with the topic you started. Quote: Why did so many iWeb users publish to MobileMe and greet the news of its closure like a national disaster? Simply because it was easier and more convenient and they were able to have website features that were hard to implement on other servers. Exactly! Quote: Rather than "support the offering or clear off" I think it is a good thing for people to discuss their concerns here and to become aware of the advantages of EW hosting. I agree, just to clarify my point as it may have come off incorrectly. Take a simplification of two companies; COMPANY X OFFERS: Unlimited web visitors, unlimited file space and unlimited websites for ~$60/year. Web builder, SEO, Support for your web builder is extra RAGE Software OFFERS: EasyWeb + Built in SEO + unlimited web sites + unlimited visitors + support for EasyWeb $99/year but only 2GB of space. Now to come here and say RAGE Software should match my current web host at $60 is NOT going to happen. They are different services. If you want to match all the services offered by RAGE Software you would have to do the following; Web Builder ~$100 + $50 every two years to upgrade -> Have to learn something new SEO (That matches what is built into EasyWeb) ~ $30 Hosting: minimum ~$60/year Support For your Web Site - Variable have to go through different companies depending on the issue. Depends on what your time is worth to you. You do have the option to use any other web host with EasyWeb After experiencing the issues with iWeb being discontinued, I would think that looking at how to get everything for as cheap as possible wouldn't be the highest priority. The service, in my opinion, is one of the best out there. I haven't seen anything close to it offered by anyone else. Some things are going to cost a bit more, some a bit less. As a business owner I would think a few dollars a year wouldn't be worth worrying so much about. Please note, this comments aren't directed at anyone in particular, just an overview of some of the perceptions being expressed Some of my responses may be blunt, and I apologize if any offend people. This is a private beta forum so anything goes :) Please keep providing feedback. We're listening. ------------------------------- Paul EverWeb Developer |

We are listening too....:) I personally really appreciate your clarifications - I did not realize that the EasyWeb plan will be different than what I have now. As a matter of fact I wish I asked sooner.... The price is extremely reasonable. ------------------------------- Yelena MacBook Pro OS X 10.10.3 IMac 21" OS X 10.10.3 |

| I also apologise for being blunt, their is nothing wrong with discussing easyweb advantages etc but some people want everything for nothing. I'm not not sure if Rage offer a money back period if not satisfied guaranty but that's a reasonable thing to offer. Rage are currently just doing my hosting but when I eventually start to create a new website I will look forward to using their support which will be worth it's weight in gold to a novice like me. | |

| So... What people value in todays market is a Guarantee before purchase, Support ... a clear definition of whats included. Possibly a price comparison area too? | |

To me, a trial period would be important to make sure all the features I required were present and worked as planned. During this period, I would test out the quality, effectiveness and speed of the tech support. When it comes to website hosting, cost should be way down the list of priorities - as long as you are not being totally ripped of course! Quote: Possibly a price comparison area too? Comparing the prices of the opposition? It seems to be impossible for sales people (in general) to compare products impartially! Your dealings with a hosting service should be a long and happy relationship so it's worth taking the time to do your own research so that you can see through the gloss of the sales pitch and make sure the one you choose is tailored to your own specific needs. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Just my two cents: My first thought was "wow that's expensive" when I read about the 99$ / year and the exclusiveness to use ragesw as my hosting provider. But that changed rather quickly. For my german provider I pay about 10$ less per year (could be 20-30$ less if I wouldn't need php or other stuff for contact forms etc.), but that's without any webdesign software or software upgrades (which usually cost too). Plus, the support at ragesw is awesome. I had a lot of troubles transferring our two german domains to ragesw and the support helped a lot (!!!). Always calm, friendly and very supportive. That's something you can't pay enough for. And I'm glad I switched. The brilliant support alone is worth it. ------------------------------- Darian new to web design ______________________ My websites: Vocal Affairs // Singkehlchen |

The iWeb forum is overflowing with questions about publishing which should have been handled by the hosting services support. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

[quote="pumpkin":3dg8u3wn]Just my two cents: the support at ragesw is awesome. I had a lot of troubles transferring our two german domains to ragesw and the support helped a lot (!!!). Always calm, friendly and very supportive. That's something you can't pay enough for. And I'm glad I switched. The brilliant support alone is worth it. I cannot agree enough. Even compared to Apple Support, (which always directed me to a forum, where generally Roddy answered my question), RageSW is undoubtably number #1. We know that from our experience, but to a completely new customer, how do we (RageSW) package that in a virtual box? The world is changing from a brows in our local PC World reading the backs of boxes and choosing the shiniest one... (It's shinny so it must be good) to downloads with no shinny boxes. What about a forum where the "potential new customers" can ask questions and we "EW Groupies" (or is it geeks?)  could answer honestly and impartially? I think Roddy's experience alone should earn lots of commission! LoL!
