There is no definitive answer also to this question stackoverflow.com/questions/394601/… but it's a great question as long as it's community wiki. | |

| Jul 23, 2011 at 11:00 | comment | added | Lekensteyn | I'm not affiated with webhostingtalk.com in any way. A Community Wiki should not be abused for such questions which are more like discussions in which an upvote means "I like it" and a downvote "I dislike it". From the CW privilege description: "Community wiki posts have been donated to the community in hopes that others will edit them to keep them up to date, to add useful information, and generally improve their quality." | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 10:55 | comment | added | Marco Demaio | @Lekensteyn: in-fact I saied "as long as it's made Community Wiki." Don't you think I could also say: "so why are you reccomending webhostingtalk, do you maybe have some affiliations or interest in that forum?!" Moreover the link you suggest seems to be related to something of quite old, look at the boxes "How much monthly transfer/storage space will you need?" The select lists show values that were common 5 years ago, but now stroage space is so cheap and even bandwidth is sold in huge quantities. | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 10:34 | comment | added | Lekensteyn | I disagree, there is no definitive answer on such a question. From the FAQ: "avoid asking subjective questions where every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?”" Offers can be asked on webhostingtalk.com/hostquote.php, which is more suitable for such requests. | |
