Try Before You Buy Hosting

Sep/05 in Web Hosting

This press release over at WebHosting.info caught my eye this morning.

Facternet.com, a hosting provider, today launched a new service called Risk Free Facternet. The new service allows users to try Facternet’s premium hosting services before they buy it. Facternet gives visitors 20 days of web hosting on any of Facternet’s premium hosting services, and should the user decide that they do not wish to use Facternet, they can simply cancel their subscription and not be charged.

I like the idea of “try before you buy” Web hosting. Can you really learn all there is to learn in 20 days though? Facternet is also issuing anyone who tries Facternet’s Business or Corporate hosting packages a free domain name, which can be transferred to another provider for free should the user cancel.

I tried using Bloglines – but five minutes later I got lost, and just closed Firefox in confusion. That is when I decided to give Rojo a shot.

Rojo does exactly what I want it to do. It let me import my OPML file from FeedDemon. It let me view 100 entries at a time. It doesn’t show me stuff I have already looked at.

When I look out there at reviews, Rojo doesn’t seem that popular. I really don’t have a clue why this is so, because I have loved it thus far. So if you haven’t yet found your perfect feed reader, I would suggest giving Rojo a shot.
