ISPs And Hosting Services Come And Go
-
Over the years I've seen numerous hosting services touted here, and the favored one changes from time to time. So I'm curious - who provides the best hosting value these days? Personally, I've been using webhost4life.com for a while, and I'm quite happy with the service and value. But I'm preparing a new site for my company, and since I've taken up the task of approving all invoices before payment, I've become aware that our current host is charging a whopping $216/ month for a trivial HTML site of a dozen pages or so. That's $2592 a year for less than I get for about $120 a year at webhost4life! Another place I've recently learned about charges $6.95/mo or $84 a year, bluehost.com, and as far as I can tell, they offer even more services than my personal site provides. That's a heck of a range!!! So, what is the favorite among them who make them go this season? Yup, I'm asking you, the professionals who build the sites. I certainly can't justify sticking with the current provider at these rates, but haven't enough current information to make an informed decision. Opinions?

I've been using powweb.com for years. You can even point multiple different domains at the same account. Got 1 site? That's $6.95/mo. Got 20 sites? That'd be, um... $6.95/mo. There's a page for assigning each domain to a different subdirectory. -- Ian

I'll stick in a vote for Arvixe, they do a good job and the support is quite good. Personal class at $4 a month will service your requirements. They were subject to an extortion attempt last year, DDOS brought the servers down for a couple of days but it seems to have been mitigated so the next time they will have the procedures in place to deal with the problem.

I've been with BizHostNet[^] for several years and service is good and at $60/year you can't go wrong and the rates haven't gone up since I've started using them.

When I had my own company, I used bluehost.com for a number of years and was very satisfied with them even though I had a .co.uk address. They continually improved the service without any increase in cost. Now I am retired, I have developed a website for the lawn bowling club I belong to and am now using UKHost4U.com. Again, I have no complaints and their support service is excellent if you have any problems. They're only £80.00 a year for an unlimited space web site.

I'm currently on Arvixe (for about 3 weeks) and am reading this thread mainly because I'm looking for a new hosting provider already. They have some nice features, especially for the price. (PHP, Perl, cgi-bin, SQL, mySQL, unlimited subdomains/storage/bandwidth/databases) But the two experiences I've had already with their support staff have been absolutely horrible. And now that I've gotten a wildcard certificate for my primary domain, they tell me that they won't actually host SSL subdomains on the same dedicated IP address as the main domain, even though that's what the control panel says you *should* do. Actually, both of my support problems revolved in some way around dedicated IPs and SSL certificates. If you don't need SSL, it's an excellent host.

I highly recommend LREHosting.com. You can get plans for as low as $1/month, if your web site is under 100MB. I have been a satisfied customer for almost 8 years. If you have very little traffic to your web site, and want something unorthodox (but extremely cheap), take a look at NearlyFreeSpeech.net. Their pricing can't be beat for small sites. However, they don't run email servers, they only do email forwarding. Stay far far away from Inmotion Hosting (no link). We have had nothing but bad experiences with three sites and all are moving to different hosts as soon as their contracts are up.

I'll check it out, Rob. Thanks!

I just bothered to read your tag line. Are you claiming that you are so unpleasant, that Will wouldn't like you? Or mentioning something you'll never be able to remove from your bucket list? The way you write, and considering the cast of characters Will probably met, it's hard to believe the first claim.

I stuck that sig in about 3 or 4 years ago. You're the first to notice it. :-D

So, which is it? 1st, 2nd, or tell me why? Or since it's the 1st, you won't tell me, just to prove you are that unpleasant? (Again, I don't buy it.)
To be honest, I know of no one who dislikes me, and haven't for decades. I can be an asshole, and I'm quite good at it, but only when provoked. Few things provoke me, however, and fewer every year as I get older. Wasting my time is one of the top five, along with waking me unnecessarily. When I was a child (t < 30 years), many things seemed terribly important and in need of immediate change; after 50, one learns that there are few things important enough to start an argument about. That sense of perspective makes it easy to get along with others, even those who try one's patience. Perhaps I'm becoming Will Rogers... :) Nah, that's not possible, because there are plenty of people I don't like. Rude people, folks who want to start an argument, those who are inconsiderate, ignorant people with loud opinions on subjects they know little about, people who drive slow in the left lane... the list is long. But it's far easier, and much less stressful to ignore them than to be dragged into their narrow little universes. I'm colorblind, I couldn't care less what religion floats your boat (your choice doesn't affect mine, and I have no weak-minded, insecure compulsion to change yours), and I regard your birthplace as your parents' mistake, not yours; as far as I know, none of us gets to choose our parents. I suspect, though, that old Will might not like me because he's entirely non-judgmental; he seems to have liked everyone. I am much more discriminating, in that I only allow people into my life who add something to it. I don't dislike the rest, but I have no time to waste on them. Will would probably hate that, as he seems to have had time to waste on everyone.

You can get a full VPS at EpicWin Hosting for about $20/month. I'm admittedly biased because I'm involved with the company but the service is excellent. You get your own virtual server in the Amazon cloud for a fixed cost. Beats the crap out of shared hosting. Currently you can get the first month free so it might be worth checking out.
