Service Description
BuxHost is a hosting service owned by internet marketer S. De Jong that is geared toward people who want to start and run their own “pay to click” membership sites. This service provides people with the scripts for the hosting sites as well as ongoing background services and support. The program also offers affiliate commissions for people who promote it and recruit others for monthly membership.
Detailed Overview
One of the hottest trends on the internet today is the “pay to click” advertising site, and BuxHost is a program that helps people to start and run them. These types of websites attract advertisers who are looking for traffic to their sales websites and blogs. The advertisers provide links, promotional emails, banners and sometimes even free or trial offers, and members of the “pay to click” sites are paid to click on the links and banners and/or take advantage of the free and trial offers. The advertisers get the traffic and exposure they’re looking for, and members of the PTC sites get some extra income.
Most people, even if they’re interested in running their own PTC sites, have no idea how to go about starting them and running them. For a monthly fee of $25, BuxHost provides the scripting for one of these sites and helps the owner run it as long as they are paying members. It works on the same premise as a website hosting program, but with focus on the PTC type of website.
BuxHost offers only one script to its members for building a PTC site. It’s called the NextGen PTC Script. It should be noted that for this reason, all of the PTC membership websites that are built through this hosting program tend to look alike. They can be tweaked from the administration area, but overall, the similarities are there. Because of this, the people who run these sites have to put in some effort if they want to stand out from the rest.
Reputation
Feedback on BuxHost is mostly positive, with a few exceptions. People who sign up for membership with this hosting program and use the scripts say that they seem to run things well, and the script is satisfactory. There have been some complaints about customer service being slow to respond to issues, but overall they do seem to respond. The main complaints are about people who actually use the service and script being less than ethical with their sites; taking money and not paying out like they should. This really doesn’t involve the hosting program, however.
Domain "Whois"
The Whois information for a website lists the owner and their contact information. The Whois information for "BuxHost" is public which is generally a good thing. This indicates the owner of this site has nothing to hide.

Difficult to use but the result was worth it
I stumbled to this site last September after I found one of the PTC site I'm currently participating turned out to be one of their customers. I immediately got interested because I know that owning a PTC site can earn a lot of money. At first, it was really difficult for me to build the website, understand the script, and inviting advertisers to my site.
But after two weeks, I started to get some income after getting about 100 new users and 5 advertisers. Most of them come from an IM forum where I promote my new PTC site while others come randomly from different sites where my ads are shown. Promotion is the most difficult step for me and until now I'm still struggling to promote my new PTC sites to increase the number of members in it. So far, their service is great and and the result was completely worth more than $25.

Good, but you have to implement your own ideas to make it better
Buxhost was great for me, they got me started on my 2nd PTC site which for my first one failed miserably due to DDOS attacks and the lack of advertisers. So you can say I was starting off at a novice level already. Firstly, I'd say their service was better than the old one I used. I mean, you can say their layout is somewhat the same, but you can design them and change them to your own unique style if you have html and Php knowledge. So far, I'm still in debt though, but I wasn't expecting results right from the start because you need to gain some trust and advertise as much as you can in the beginning. So overall, I do recommend this to others, but be sure you know what you are dealing with and you do have the investment to lose. Not all PTC sites will be successful so it is your own choice, so choose wisely.

Great hosting service
It was more than three months ago when I discovered BuxHost. The whole concept seemed very promising to me and I wanted to see what it is like to be on the opposite side and be the owner of such a site. The prices at BuxHost were pretty reasonable and when compared to other two-three this was the best choice. I was able to achieve some good results and earned decent money thanks to the hosting service. I myself have been able to earn my investment of 25$ back in just two weeks. The service itself is at a very high level and it is obvious that it is run by professionals. The uptime of the servers is almost 100% and I got a problem just once but it was solved in just around an hour. The support crew helped me get around the problem with professional replies and specific and detailed information. I liked that the whole thing is really easy to use and I would say that beginners won't have any problems. BuxHost is very well optimized service for a Bux site and it is a great start in that field. I am highly recommending it.

Great Hosting Service
I use Buxhost to host my website Augbux.com. Buxhost makes everything automatic for me! All I have to do is promote my site and make payments, and I even have the option for the system to send instant payments for me. Although the site is a generic design, it can be changed in the admin area. Advanced statistics and the ability to change most site options are available to the administrator. I do have a few complaints though. One, the script doesn't automatically check for cheaters. I have had problems with cheaters from Asian countries, so I now require Asian members to upgrade. My second main issue with it is that I can't change the HTML code to include say, my own Bidvertiser ads to earn extra revenue. Overall, $25 a month is worth it if you have an interest in starting your own paid to click site. Be warned, however, that it isn't all too easy. I have lost over $100 with my site so far, but it is starting to make me money. Be patient and honest with your members.

Not even a good option for a beginner
From my experience buxhost is not even a good option for a newbie in running a ptc site. Yes they claim everything is set up for you, which is true. But what they don't tell you is that every site running under them is the same generic copy. The only difference is the name at the top. A lot of people in the ptc world don't trust buxhost sites. I have been scammed by many buxhost sites in which I invested money. Buxhost sites offer high click rates which results in a system that is unsustainable, which in turn will cause the site to crash. I have joined many buxhost sites before where I was paid maybe once or twice, then the site stopped paying and soon enough completely disappeared. To be honest most buxhost sites start with a bad reputation and consequently fail within a few weeks. I don't recommend using their services to start your own site. It is much better in my opinion, to purchase a unique script with a unique design. This will gain trust from your members and help your site to succeed.

Good for starters
Buxhost is a good host to get things started. They have an excellent PTC system at affordable prices. If you're looking to start a PTC site than this is the place. Although their prices are not amazing, they have very little downtime and excellent support.
My friend runs a good PTC with them and it's been running very smoothly! I recommend!

Dream Comes True
I had a dream to have my own PTC site, but I had no idea how to start. Finally, I found Buxhost as a great chance to start my own PTC site. It is everything I could ever want. I have no previous knowledge in web coding, and BuxHost did it all for me. There is a great selection of themes for me to pick from, so I got a very good looking website even though I know nothing about computer graphics. Their support is very nice, they gave me a lot of hints to start with. Their server is very stable. It works fast, and it is very simple and easy to use. Eventually, running a PTC site is not as easy as it sounded, but Buxhost takes care of a lot of the work for you, and I started making that extra cash within a few months.

Best PTC Hosting Site
Over the years, I have searched and searched to find a good site to guide me through my own PTC website. Then, I found BuxHost. It is everything I could ever want! I have no prior knowledge in web coding, and BuxHost did it all for me. After the first month, I was making profits upwards of 600$! Then, advertisers stopped coming, and I slowly started to see my profits drop. Although 7 months later, I am still making a steady profit of 120$ a month, it is no where near what I began with. Everything about BuxHost is great, except for the fact that it might be profitable, but it will be very hard to maintain a good profit. I suggest people who have a lot of patience to try BuxHost, because it is only 25$ to start, but for those impatient ones, PTC sites are not for you. I rate this site a B.

A PTC site that can potentially make you $2500 a month from 2 minutes worth of clicking! Click here and please use me as your referrer!

Easy to use, nice support, stable server
I started a PTC with Buxhost two months ago. I don't know any about coding nor website design, so I went for Buxhost because it did all the hardest parts for me, and it only took $25. It runs a very new PTC script that is very powerful and offer a lot of features, so I can get more done by doing less. There is a large selection of themes for me to pick from, so I got a very good looking website even I know nothing about computer graphic. Their supports are very nice, they gave me a lot of hints to start with. Their server is very stable. I didn't encounter any downtime with it. As everybody know, running a PTC is not very easy, but Buxhost can do most part for you, and it is not expensive, so I recommend it to you.

Very Convenient
I started a "Bux" site a while back with my friend, but neither of us knew a thing about website coding, so we decided to try out BuxHost. After we had paid the $20, they were true to their word and had our website up in less than 24 hours.
The script has no bugs, it works fast, and it is very simple and easy to use. The admin panel is easy to use, and you can keep track of all members, payments, profit and advertisements.
There is a downside though. It has nothing to do with BuxHost itself, but rather the reputation of BuxHost sites. Buxhost gives a way for any average person to start there own PTC business, whether they are in it for the long run, or just to scam user's money. And because of these people starting PTC sites with no financial backup or no planning, they all seem to go bust within a couple of months. It is for that reason why Buxhost sites tend to have a bad reputation, and if you do decide to start one, you had better work hard at it or you will not profit much.

Best PTC hosting service
This is the best PTC hosting service that I’ve tried. I used to run a PTC site on seeing others. Everyday I found new PTC sites getting published and the admins really enjoyed building them and I read in a blog that the admin could earn more than the other members, having their own PTC site. So I paid them $25 from my earnings the first month and the set up was very simple as it was very user-friendly. Everything was perfect and I earned more than what I paid for. All that I didn’t like was every PTC site created through this site looked alike. But I think that doesn’t matter. The server had downtime once. The support system was quite impressive. We do not need any special skills to build it and even beginners can do well with it. But I don’t use it now because I wasn’t able to pay them the next month. I am looking forward to using it again soon.
Conclusion:
I highly recommend this site to anyone who wants to host their own PTC site.

Correct way to start
When I decided to start making money by Internet, I tried a lot of different ways and programs. At first, I discovered some sites for clicking on various advertisements. This way was very hard and useless. Then I realized that there was no point. When I discovered BuxHost I was very happy, because I needed money. During this time was my mum's birthday and I purchased her a pretty present. In my opinion, BuxHost is a brilliant way for making good money. It is not difficult, if you know how to use it. The customer support was very polite. Working with BuxHost was very useful. I earned very good money and I recommend it to everybody. I think BuxHost is the best way for a beginner.

Great PTC script and webhost!
Buxhost is a great opportunity to start that PTC site you've always wanted to start. I know I always have but never could find the time to do it or a way to do it cost efficiently. With Buxhost, I only pay $25 a month and receive almost perfect service which includes the latest PTC script with minimal work required to start up and excellent service with hardly any downtime.
Of course running a PTC site, or any site, is not as easy as I make it sound, but Buxhost takes care of a lot of the work for you and I started making that extra cash within a few months.

The best PTC hosting service for me
I started off just 2 months ago and to this moment I must say that BuxHost has exceeded my expectations. When searching for a good hosting service I stumbled upon 1 or 2 other hosts that were suitable for my needs, but BuxHost definitely was the most cost effective choice. With each passing day, I am making more money. The 25$ are just a drop in the sea compared to the money you can make. Of course you can't expect a great success in just 2 months, but I'm still making at least 20 times the money I am paying for the host. So if you ask me if it's worth it, I would be 100% positive.
Now something about the support. In my 2 month experience with BuxHost hosting service, I've had 2 minor downtimes, caused by server overload. The customer support was very quick and because of that they both lasted no more than 20-30 minutes.
Everything is made very user friendly, so I believe that even total beginners will have the skills to set everything up.
My conclusion is that for PTC sites, this is the best hosting service you will find.

I am proud to say that I have my own PTC site
I had no idea how to start my own PTC site. I researched on the Internet but I could not find any free information. This is why I decided to join BuxHost. I am paying a monthly fee of 25$. This is a small price compared to what I earned since I joined. I am proud to say that I have my own PTC site and after only a few months I was able to earn almost 1000$ a month.
I had absolutely no experience in creating PTC sites. This program helped me understand all I have to do. My only complaint is that all the PTC sites built through this hosting look alike. I would like to have an unique image for my website.
