2ip Web Hosting Eliminates Subscription Fees
Fremont, California – (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) – November 13, 2008 – Shared hosting firm serving more than 310,000 web sites since 1999, 2ip, has initiated a one-time fee, without any recurring subscription costs, for hosting service plans.
The new payment model is ideal for small businesses or individuals seeking a simple, ad-free, and reliable Web presence without a continual cost. Customers can even use a free 2ip sub-domain to eliminate domain name registry fees and use 2ip’s free Web site builder tools to avoid costs associated with creating the site.
Jimmy Tanzil, managing director of Ichthys Media LLC, 2ip’s parent company remarked, ”’Web sites hosted in our Pay to Own program are designed for web newcomers who are looking to get online without the recurring expense. With 2ip, it’s like having an electronic business card with a professional feel.”
2ip will use high-end servers to host ‘Pay to Own’ customers. Each system is powered by Dual Quad Core processors and between 4 and 8 GB RAM. To keep hosting costs low and maximize quality, 2ip intensively uses automation and virtualization procedures to manage existing hosting accounts and provision new sign ups.
The ‘Pay to Own’ web hosting plan is priced at $25, which allows users to host an unlimited number of domains on the account. It includes 100 MB of disk space, unlimited data transfer, and unlimited email accounts. Additional disk space is priced at one-time fees of $10 per additional 100 MB or $75 for additional 1,000 MB.
In addition to the ‘Pay to Own’ model, 2ip also offers traditional subscription-based plans, which offer more features, power, and storage allotments. Subscription-based shared hosting plans start at $3.75 monthly.
Founded in 1999 as a free Web hosting provider, 2ip today serves more than 310,000 Web sites with affordable shard Web hosting. It offers premium subscription-based and ‘Pay to Own’ web hosting services, starting at less than $4 per month. 2ip is a subsidiary of Ichthys Media LLC.

2ip just sent notice that they will shut down the end of October. They claim this because they came under attack. Is their not a way to recover from this? Is there a thing called insurance? Rather than start-over, they elected to offer clients go over to Host Gator. This has left many clients (possibly millions) stranded.
