About Scribehost

The Scribehost brand was started in August 2002 for authors and webmasters who want good quality, ethical hosting and diverse account features without having to pay outrageous fees. Scribehost clients get what they pay for: webspace and bandwidth allowances that have increased four times in six years with no price increase; a constant uptime of over 99.8%; robust servers that are not overcrowded; a solid, stable network; and the same behind-the-scenes personnel since the first business day. Scribehost welcomes all kinds of sites: journals, blogs, commentary; fiction, nonfiction, zines; authors, graphic artists, gamers; individuals, small businesses, community groups. Before signing up, be sure and read our Terms of Service (translation: fan sites such as fiction archives, show or actor appreciation, episode guides, or image galleries are joyfully welcomed, but illegal activities — like video download archives — are not.)

Scribehost is a member of Hosting Assured, an independent third-party hosting ratings and complaint mediation group. We accordingly abide by the web host's code of business ethics:
