InfoBravenet is the ultimate provider of a complete website solution including web hosting, site building, domains and free web tools.

He combed the Web, looking for a decent free guestbook service, and came to realize that the few services available were either too hard to install, or too limited to be of much use. All he wanted was a simple, full featured guestbook for his site.

Our mission is to offer innovative integrated telecommunication services (voice and data), thus offering our customers a lot more at a lesser cost. A French model inspired ColbaNet: to offer 3 residential services (Internet, telephone and TV signal) at $50 per month. This is half the price of what the competition is offering.

I've been exceedingly happy with Bravenet.
I have used bravenet since 2005. As an administrator on a Wordpress site and Joomla site, I prefer the ease of working with bravenet. I am rarely disappointed by their customer service as they always give prompt replies to questions and help me [...]

Very shitty, cheap service for sure but u only get 4Mbps dowload and 0.5 upload (20Mbps advertised). Always having problem with the connection, I stayed there for 4 years, mostly for being lazy to just call and cancel and go look somewhere [...]
