Web Host Recommendation
-
Hello all, I asked a question in the forums yesterday about how to go about setting up an online web community. I appreciate the help. Now I'm wondering if the folks in the lounge could suggest a web host for me to use. I previously used WebHost4Life, but I found that they tended to be down fairly often. Who would you suggest and why?
Speakeasy.net. I have used them as my DSL provider for years, but had a less expensive web host. But then there was a very odd problem where some form-based mails from my site were being sent to my email but not received. I tracked it down as far as I dcould and then tried to enlist Speakeasy on the receiver side and the other guiys on the sender side to help. The Speakeasy guiys understood the problem and set up experiements and scanned server logs./ The other guys never got past "well, if it's being send then it has to get there." So I moved four websites to speakeasy. (and the problem disappeared)

Get a tool that checks your site every couple of minutes and log the down-time. With that info. you should be able to get them to fix things up for you. I know they're upgrading some hardware and software this weekend (for the machines my sites are hosted on, at least), so I'm expecting things to move along a bit better. They've been the best host I've tried so far (in terms of bang for buck). Cheers, Drew.
I also currently use WebHost4Life. I run a few websites and the only downtime I have experienced is with my MySQL server. I have been with them for about a year so far and it has been the best hosting provider I've been with. My SQL 2000 database went down only once in the past 12 months (when they were doing some changes I believe with SQL 2005) though was back up within minutes of me issuing a ticket. Maybe I've just been lucky. :cool:

I LOVE HostForWeb because of their instant support and support tickets are answered within 20 minutes whether it is just stating that they started working on it or a solution to your problem. The president, every now and then, does his part and helps out. You can talk to the president and vice president of the company anytime you want for suggestions and complaints. They have great prices for the features they offer! http://www.hostforweb.com/

I use www.maximumasp.com. They are absolutely excellent. Great control panel for administering your web sites. Very little down time. When I have a problem their support team get back to me within minutes. The are not, however, the cheapest option. Visit Riverside Internet[^]
I've used http://www.icdsoft.com/[^] for years and they've been both reliable and affordable. Worth checking out -- modified at 23:03 Tuesday 20th June, 2006 Forgot to mention that on the few ocassions that I've needed tech support (always my fault) they have never taken more than 6 minutes to reply to my email (I'm in Australia - they are in the USA).

hi everyone, this is an interesting question if you do not live in the U.S. or somewhere where broadband is not thought of as a 40kbs connection :). so that been said, on a personal basis i have been using http://www.totalchoicehosting.com[^] - $4 p/m starter pack - more than enough features and bandwidth for a personal website about pet dogs and cats :-D as a company we have just moved our managed server service from the U.S. [theplanet.com[^]] to the U.K. [rackspace.com[^]]. our experience of the rackspace hosting service and control panel, but more importantly the support turn around time, is phenomenal. anyway, go have a look for yourselves. just my 2 cents. ciao guy

Hi there, You can get even free web hosting, but... Checkout webhosting.info to find out about web hosting companies and their potential. They should give you a list of top hosting companies. If you want to go with big companies you can get a list of thousands of them at webhosting.info, but does size matter? I don't think so. I host couple of my sites with www.hostinto.com They charge $2.99/M CAN for basic HTML sites and $12.50 for ASP or DB driven . I have been hosting for about 5 months with them and I had no problem. Good luck. Vasil

We always refer our clients to HostGlobe. http://www.hostglobe.com. They are a division of NeoSpire. They are very reasonably priced, provide a wide range of hosting options and have superb service/support. Our clients consistenly experience 0 downtime and fast server responses. We have also personally toured their Fort Knox like facilities and found their security practices to be top-notch.
