Does anyone here subscribe to Estibot.com, and if so, what services do you use most?

 

[leternal]

No, i don't but always using the free option appraisal

 

[ProSence]

However, Estibot.com is good software, I checked prices of webhosting.co.uk and according to Estibot it is 513,000 and it is sold in 500,000 so it is really good estimation.

So. Nobody hear is paying for Estibot?

I would like to know what others would do? Keep paying for Estibot's services (I use the bulk appraisal maybe about 10-20 times a day) or cancel Estibot and get a VPS instead (I have Reseller Hosting which is not totally used up, so it's not urgent, but the speed increase would be nice as well as knowing that I'm set capacity wise for a long time). Are these good enough reasons to get the VPS? I just cannot afford both. I'm considering Big Brain for the VPS.

Since Estibot have concentrated on the serious domainer it has become quite expensive. Is there any alternative service for the stats (not the valuations).

what kind of stats are you looking for?

 

[Name Trader]

The stats which estibot provide in their appraisals, SERP, Ads, Alexa, Word Tracker, PR, Searches, CPC, Other TLD's taken. Plus anything else which might be helpful when buying/selling domains.

So does anyone have any comments about me swapping my Estibot subscription for a VPS? Why I should keep my Estibot subscription? Why I shouldn't get a Big Brain VPS?

I get all those stats for free, just not in one convenient place. If it comes down to convenient stats or a VPS I'd go with the VPS, no question.

I'm confused how estibot is related to a VPS ? Are you going to collect the data yourself using the VPS ? Or are you trying to save the estibot subscription and use it on a vps ?

Big Brain seems to provide less space and bandwidth for the price unless you are getting a good discount.

You might be able to find a better deal on VPS (even XEN) from big players (Turnkey etc) for what you are getting at Big brain. Specially they some are soon going to run special Black Friday deals (more than 75%off).

Remember that VPS will increase your website speed, but decrease your speed as you will be soon spending time managing the server, updating the script, setting firewall etc..

I would like to subscribe to Estibot, but I do not thing that the service is priced fairly. I would prefer a cheaper version. I just don't need to use it that much to warrant $30 a month.

@lothos - Could you pm me or tell me what free stats you use. It does also seem more logical to me to have a VPS over convenient stats. I actually started this thread for another reason. To find out if anyone used anything else Estibot offer. But seems their were no takers.

@nmridul - I'm going to save the Estibot subscription and put it towards the VPS because I cannot afford both. The only differences between Big Brain and Wired Tree entry level VPS is BB 500GB bandwidth 2 IP's, WT 3000GB bandwidth 4 IP's, and BB approx $10 cheaper. I've no idea how much bandwidth is 3000GB and if I'd ever need it. I'm using about 2% of my Reseller Hosting 150GB bandwidth currently. Of course that would increase using a VPS, where I'd develop more domains. I need a managed service. When is Black Friday? I'd be happy to hear any recommendations for a manged Xen VPS with a provider who will run a Black Friday Special

PS: Thanks for your Domainer Special. I signed up for one.

@SmokinJoe24 - I agree with you. Perhaps they don't want the bother with the support that would be needed with cheaper subscriptions. Perhaps they think their charges are fair already for the services they offer. But I couldn't find anyone who uses the other services like the Lead Generator/Business Locator.

let's start a new thread for stats.

BTW I've never heard of bigbrain, why that one specifically? There's a ton of great companies out there. Plus Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals coming up.

Big Brain has good reviews on WHT and was the cheapest managed VPS (1GB Ram burstable 2GB, 100GB Raid-10 Disk, 500GB Traffic, 2 IP's) I could find at $31.50 after coupons. See also my comments to nmridul above relative to WireTree, $41.50 after yearly discount.

When is Black Friday/ Cyber Monday?

Oh. BTW. I just canceled my Estibot subscription, so need to talk about stats.

Amerinoc is $29 a month. They're managed, great reputation. You can get half off your first order with my coupons

When is Black Friday/ Cyber Monday?

I checked out Amerinoc VPS. Their cheapest managed plan was $49 (I couldn't find a $29 managed plan) but it had the DirectAdmin Control Panel which I have never used or even seen. I'd much prefer the cPanel/WHM combination which I'm familiar with. So I don't think Amerinoc is for me. But thanks for the suggestion.

Since I never really got any replies to my original question and this morphed into a discussion about VPS Hosting Black Friday Specials. I started a new discussion for this in the Web Hosting Requests Forum, link here, http://www.namepros.com/web-hosting...k-friday-hosting-specials-especially-vps.html
