Thread: Who do you suggest as a host?

Im thinking of either ImHosted.com or hostmonster.com, do yo have any suggestions or experiences with any host?

We offer a month free. Use coupon code freemonth

I'd recommend AxisHOST - Fully managed CPanel servers and hosting! I've been with them, umm about six months.

I'll just check.

Yep, since July 7 2007.

We're also one of the sponsor's of WTF

They are kind of pricey compared to others and you don't get as much space or bandwidth.

I would recommend hostmonster the amount of space and everthing it has given is huge, you will never never never be able to use even a fraction of it. Best of it it is really cheap more than value for money

I want to host multiple sites, thats why i was looking for the companys that give larger amounts of space + bandwidth.

The best value for your money are the ones that offer top notch support, that should always come before what you get in the hosting package.

You can get a ton of good features, a great price, no support, you lose then.

Yep, but then, who wants megagigabytes for peanuts?

4qh.info has great prices. there packages are a little small, but they don't oversell, and there uptime is great. there reseller packages are nice though.

check out cmodz-hosting might like it

I'm using Hostingzoom at present, been with for about six months and the experience has been pretty good, They keep the foum updated when and issue arises and you can contact staff which is good, they have failover as well so if a glitch hits you are only out for a minute or teo

Shall I ask you about your requirements?
How much disk space and bandwidth do you really need? and what is the nature of your site?
There is no meaning to go for a huge overseller if youe requirements are low. You need to look for a host according to your need.

but if you can get all that extra space for the same price if not less, Why wouldn't you?

Top notch support.

Because most of that 'extra space' does not exist, they oversell causing slower more unreliable servers.

You will not get.
What happens is all that is given on the front page can be indirectly taken away in the Term of Service. So at the end of the day you will be getting more or less the same with any host.
These hosts will have a tons of restrictions on their TOS, and yuo will not be able to use what they really offers. They offer you 500 GB disk space and limits you on inode numbers. again they will not allow you to use it as a file server or a place to dump your files. There will be again restrictions on cpu usage and memory usage.

People don't understand it, but what you say is so true. The TOS and in other cases just bad service clamps down on you getting anywhere near what is claimed to be offered.

When a host for $5 a month offers more space and bandwidth than my dedicated servers give me I know something is wrong

Yes, correct. But still people get lured to such offers and will jump into it seeing the flashing specs, even if they don't need even half of what is offered.

And soon they will learn what is overselling and in many cases it will be too late.

hostgator is pretty good for me.

well you guys and girls are saying support is better which i agree cause the smaller company's have less customers.

But do you think that even companies like hostmonster, which has awesome reviews and has been around for a while, over sell?

Looking at the stats they claim to give, no doubt in my mind that it's overselling. There simply is no way on earth they could give that type of space and bandwidth for under $10 a month. Plus in order to server that kind of content 'space/bandwidth' one account would damn near bring an entire server to a screaching hault.

I'm sure in their terms it lays out so it's basically impossible to get anywhere near what they claim.

we also have a 15% coupon for that dedicated on the first month so its even lower.

I use bluehost, they were in my price range with 116 dollars for three years, one free domain and unlimited add-ons.

Yeah they look pretty good. They have tons of good reviews all over the place

i would suggest hostgator or icdsoft

I have two accounts on Resellerzoom, one Advanced and a Budget. They've been pretty good overall over the last couple years, but lately the support has lagged a lot. So, I hesitate to recommend them. You'll find that no matter what host you choose, support is the #1 thing you'll be needing. If you go with a cheap host and experience a problem, and your site is/was getting visitors, you'll find out pretty quickly how much good support is worth.

i sugget downtownhost.com , i'm very happy with them

my site loads very fast wordpressthemespark.com
