Who’s Misk

Misk.com is a web hosting company and like any web hosting company; they provide mandatory services like domain register, domain renewal, domain transfer and web hosting packages. On top of that, certain domain-related FAQs are required and they’ve got that so it’s cool. However that’s not really the coolest part. This is wha that really caught my attention when the page loads up.

Misk’s Domain essentials are only calling for $25/year. That’s about $2/month and that’s really cheap. Now, you probably should be wondering, hosting as low as $2/month what are the specs in the package? Here’s a run down of what you will be getting with Domain Essentials $25/year

Domain Essential is suitable if..

If you are still hooked on a free hosting, it don’t hurt paying $25/year to have full control over your account. Drop that free mail, get yourself a yourname@yourdomain.com and check your email via desktop e-mail applications like Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook.

Verdict

No doubt this is really a cheap deal from Misk.com however it more suitable for average webmasters that just need a static website. If your website has high traffic loads, this is definitely not for you. Still I see a reason why I can use this. Paying $25/year for a testing site, an environment for me to experiment portals and scripts. Not bad still.
