What hosting company would you recommend?

laguna1811 · 07-09-2009, 06:30 PM

Definitely hostgator. Love their customer support and very reliable.

TheMole · 07-09-2009, 06:34 PM

Godaddy for domain registrations and Blue Host for hosting works for me

atomAnt · 07-10-2009, 10:58 PM

PowWeb is very inexpensive with decent CS. I have used them for a year and the customer support is relatively good. No upsell, just solid. Month-to-month is about $4.50 and 2 year sign-up is under $4 a month with unlimited domains and up to 75 mySQL databases, AdSense credits like the others offer. At first it was overseas customer service with some difficulties, but about 6 months ago this cleared up and communication is fine. It's worth looking at.

Ventrilo Host · 07-11-2009, 07:51 AM

I appreciate this because my experiences with hosting companies hasn’t always been positive and while it’s easy to find hosting companies to avoid, sometimes it’s hard knowing what you are getting into before you have a chance to experience the service first hand. When I set up this blog, I spent a lot of time looking at different hosting companies and ultimately settled on a company called BlueHost. I choose BlueHost primarily because they offered easy integration with Wordpress, but I also liked that by hosting with them, they give you a free domain registration, as well as offering hosting for 6 different domains on the same plan. This is really nice if you have more then one site that you work on, but don’t necessarily need the bazooka bandwidth for all of the sites.

Stay At Home Mum · 07-11-2009, 08:14 AM

Hostgator for me to.

When I install sites for people on GoDaddy, I have to employ special scripts and methods, because regular things like importing to a database just times out on GoDaddy. As a domain registrar, yeah they're all good because that's what they do. But for hosting, you need someone whose primary focus is their hosting.

Kezz is absolutely right about GoDaddy. Whatever steps you need to go through to setup and manage sites on other hosts, you can expect to go through nearly TWICE as many steps by hosting with GoDaddy. And their speed is definitely horrible.

I remember calling in several times when I was still hosting with them, and everytime they would just blame the slow speed on Wordpress. They won't ever admit that they are the ones at fault.

DO NOT host with GoDaddy. Period!

I see everyone recommending HostGator. They are not bad but I prefer HostMonster and have stuck with them for a couple of years now.

reynic · 07-11-2009, 07:40 PM

Hostgator for shared hosting. If you need dedicated IP and SSL check out their Business Plan.
Namecheap for domain names. Free WHOIS protection AND Free SSL.

Any recommends for best dedicated server hosting???

Pelician · 07-12-2009, 12:18 PM

Definitely Hostgator. Been using them for the past 3 years without any single problem.

Pelicia

John_Paduchak · 07-14-2009, 11:40 AM

I host with hostgator and kiosk. Both have great support. I have bought some domain names at 1&1 and have a few small sites hosted there but I'm not a fan of their hosting.

I've used 1&1 and namecheap for domain registrar.

Same here.

blur · 09-04-2009, 09:24 AM

Here is my experience and I've hosted with a lot of places over the last 9 or so years:

Hostgator: Seems OK but they have an inode limitation on their 'unlimited' plan. IF you go over their inode limitation they will not back up your site. An inode is a file and wordpress, joomla, etc.. has a lot of files.

Bluehost / Hostmonster: Sister companies. I was with them for a couple years and found that they really oversold their servers. You can see how many other sites on your server (or, more technically share your IP) by going here: myIPneighbors.com Reverse IP Lookup & Domain Check DNS Tool

HostNine.com: Great for resellers! They have a number of server in various locations throughout the world you can choose to put your site. This is great because each location and each node on each location has a different IP. If your linking from blog to blog, this is very helpful. Support for me was great, although you can definitely tell when a new guy is brought on.

Godaddy: No. Decent for domains, no good for hosting.

This is just my experience. I used a lot of smaller hosts, but these are the main ones.

billt91 · 09-04-2009, 01:59 PM

I use Liquid Web there reliability can't be beat and I haven't had any down time.
You can go to Web Hosting Talk - The largest, most influential web hosting community on the Internet to see what other are saying about their web hosts.

dollarware · 09-07-2009, 12:51 PM

GVO is about to be the name for hosting that was Kiosk.

They have a Titanium package that has Reseller CPanel Hosting, Aweber-like Autoresponder, Video producing tools and hosting for the Videos, a 10-Seat Conference Room and more.

You can get $1 Trial and take a look.

Affiliate program is VERY generous.

John

Allyn Hane · 09-07-2009, 10:16 PM

I use Midphase. I have a VPS with them and also 4 reseller accounts.
They are set up properly for internet marketers IMO.
Their support is responsive and fast.
great company,
AL

silverbax · 09-08-2009, 07:02 AM

I use GoDaddy and ENameCo for a registrar and HIGHLY recommend HostMySite (which just bought Hosting.com) as a web host.

I am looking to get another hosting company - I've only been with a reseller on hostgator to date - is there a learning curve with midphase or is the same cpanel as HG reseller has?

Alex Williams · 09-10-2009, 08:30 AM

I am using several, and I really like HostMonster. I have no idea why just a few people talk about it - I really like their service, and the prices are very good. They also have a good Live Chat support.

TomGuo · 09-10-2009, 08:57 AM

I use lunarpages for more than two years and it works well for me. It's simple to use and the support is good.

Dave Kingston · 09-10-2009, 04:53 PM

I know this is going against the grain but...

I'm leaving Hostgator as fast as I can.

I have had 5 reseller accounts with them for a good few years with TOP QUALITY service and set-up for IM.

In the last 6 months they have gone downhill FAST!.

Everything from customer support to up time has deteriated...big time.

I don't know why and I am sad about it...but my business comes first.

Was recommended MidPhase and so far so good. They are owned by a UK company that has a solid pedigree in online companies so no worries with their history/future.

RIP Hostgator.

I rest my case.

No no no no.

SBI at $300+ per hosted domain is a rip off.

Those stats are for Alexa...not search engine rankings. Alexa is a big deal in IM but not in the real world.

I'm sorry I couldn't let your opinion slide.

mannex · 09-13-2009, 12:35 AM

I've been happy with Hostgator. Not happy with Lunarpages.

I thought 1and1 was good, but they have their own interface and do not use cpanel.

I used Yahoo web hosting for a while. Very reliable, but expensive and limited options. It did integrate well with Yahoo's web mail, though.

dandimit · 09-13-2009, 01:13 AM

I've been using 1and1 for domains, and I've reconmmended them for a while because they have an affiliate program. I'm not really satisfied with them...so I think I'm going to stop using and recommending them.

I learned a lot from these posts, thanks peeps.

Terry Gorry · 09-13-2009, 02:36 AM

I use hostgator for hosting my domains and NameCheap for purchasing my domain names.
Namecheap are easy to use,good value and I have had no issues with Hostgator so if it ain't broken..

Waldo Claassen · 09-13-2009, 06:17 AM

I have been using Hostgator for several months without any problem

Thomas Smale · 09-14-2009, 10:42 AM

HostGator. Unbeatable customer service. Good value as well.

Gama Seva · 09-16-2009, 02:18 AM

I am using Hostgator reseller acct. everything goes smoothly the thing is they suspended my high traffic website under my own WHM account without any warning and tried upselling me an upgrade for a dedicated server. I like their service BUT I don't like their approach.

Greg Jacobs · 09-16-2009, 07:22 AM

Hostgator's IP pools has been heavily slammed (read, banned and flagged by many services) - and they wont change your IP on shared accounts. Guess that what happens when you offer 1 cent hosting.

for shared, hostmonster/bluehost supergreen/justhost or even Site5 are pretty darn good. for dedicated/vps try liquid web.

greenteazen · 10-07-2009, 02:35 AM

I've been with Hostgator and many of my clients are too.
No problems at all. Very satisfied and excellent service.

For domains I used domainhostess, which is an Australian company. Cheap as anything

stevo17371 · 10-07-2009, 03:50 AM

Try MyExpressSite.com - great service

SMazinTX · 11-10-2009, 08:48 PM

Hostgator WAS fine until we had a billing issue. The site has now been down for over 4 days while we've jumped through hoop after hoop that they have put us through.

Every time we have complied with their requests - they have told us we have to do something else.

I'll say this - they have been great - for a year. Technical Support staff is good and responsive and knowledgeable.

But just PRAY you don't have a billing issue or you can just kiss it all goodbye.

Had an issue with a site on hostgator where e-mails were being banned by craigslist. Took several days to get resolved. Finally had to create a free e-mail account to be able to work w/craigslist.

HeretohelpU · 11-12-2009, 12:14 AM

I got online about a year ago was not even sure what hosting was but I knew I needed it. I settled on a hosting company name Knownhost and utilize a Plesk panel. Not knowing a whole lot right from the beginning their customer support was very quick to respond to my inquiries and questions from FTP to reinstalling my whole system after I accidently wiped out some important files. For my money they are terrific.

bravo75 · 11-12-2009, 12:25 AM

I use Vodahost

AlonzoTJones · 11-12-2009, 01:20 AM

I have been using bluehost for 3 years and have not had any problem with them. The support is helpful and, for me, only 1 time zone away.
I have tried GoDaddy and 1 and 1 and found that the cPanel user interface is straight forward and uncomplicated. Thats why I have stuck with bluehost.

I have read through all the replies and it seems that there is a lot of good suggestions for good reasons. It really depends on what fits you best and what meets your specific needs.

kelboy42 · 11-12-2009, 04:01 AM

Cheap, reliable, professional.....Definately Hostgator for me

nota-bene · 11-12-2009, 04:09 AM

Another vote for Hostgator. Have had a reseller account for years now and no problems at all!

Micah09 · 11-12-2009, 06:23 AM

Hosgator leads the way. I also vote it and I think it is more trusted by many. I've been using this for a year and I never encounter any problems with it.

khamleetran · 11-12-2009, 07:05 AM

Hostgator is extremely reliable and very quick to respond whenever I had a problem, particularly when I first started out online a couple years ago.

For domain name registration, it doesn't really matter. However I now use Namecheap as they are cheap (you can Google "promo code" for a discount) and best of all they have been offering free privacy protection (you're details are not shown on whois).

mmpro · 11-12-2009, 08:03 PM

I really like Lunarpages! I have been with them for years and their uptime and support are outstanding!

guan70 · 11-13-2009, 09:59 AM

although hostgator is the most popular here, i'm using bluehost. so far i'm satisfied with the hosting.

mrdomains · 11-13-2009, 08:04 PM

namecheap for regs!
hostgator as host!

bluehost is ... acceptable

aspriration hosting feels.... small

ktpasco · 11-14-2009, 01:54 AM

I host all my sites on HostGator and register my domains through Namecheap. Love them both!

I register about one domain a week and set it up with wordpress.

I was thinking about namecheap, but it seems there is a limit of how many domains I can have attached, both external and addons.

Godaddy is also a option, but I believe I heard some bad things about them... Not sure though.

However,Godaddy offers unlimited addon domains. Which is really important for me.

What do you guys think is the bestregistrar and host for us IM'ers?

Edit - Google spellingcontrol messed everything up

Blue Host or Go Daddy

TimTyus · 11-15-2009, 10:40 AM

your power host dot com I have been using it for two years now and have four url's there and I love it never a problem

Fernando Veloso · 11-28-2009, 06:31 AM

Hostgator and Namecheap.

I'm a "if ain't broke, don't change it" kind of guy, that's why I love these two companies.

Yoshi1 · 11-28-2009, 07:37 AM

We use Dreamhost. Their customer service is really professional and personal.

Rozaidi · 11-29-2009, 08:35 AM

No doubt, Hostgator is the most popular and reliable.

Johncpu · 11-29-2009, 07:29 PM

Im surprised no one has mentioned this host before, so hopefully I can turn everyone on to another good choice.

I tend to spread my sites around, but I've used BargainVault with a couple fo sites for 3 years with excellent results. And they are incredible inexpensive - $.99/month for 500GB of bandwidth. And their reseller package is only $5.00/month. They have all the features - PHP, AWStats, cPanel, FAntastico, etc. I've never had a performance problem.

They have always been responsive, but their support is email only. So if you need a lot of hand-holding, they might not be the best choice. But if yopu're looking for the most features at minimal cost, they rock !

John

John A Goodwin · 11-29-2009, 08:03 PM

HostGator has provided an excellent hosting service for my sites, I am very happy with them.

nelsonroque · 12-07-2009, 01:30 AM

Most of my marketer friends used HostGator until I showed them HostMonster.

HostMonster has unmatched customer service!

I called them at 3AM for a project I was working on, and their Tech Support team was extremely knowledgeable.

Their features and pricing is great!

I've been with Hostgator and many of my clients are too. No problems at all. Very satisfied and excellent service. For domains I used domainhostess, which is an Australian company. Cheap as anything

Hostgator WAS fine until we had a billing issue. The site has now been down for over 4 days while we've jumped through hoop after hoop that they have put us through. Every time we have complied with their requests - they have told us we have to do something else. I'll say this - they have been great - for a year. Technical Support staff is good and responsive and knowledgeable. But just PRAY you don't have a billing issue or you can just kiss it all goodbye.

I got online about a year ago was not even sure what hosting was but I knew I needed it. I settled on a hosting company name Knownhost and utilize a Plesk panel. Not knowing a whole lot right from the beginning their customer support was very quick to respond to my inquiries and questions from FTP to reinstalling my whole system after I accidently wiped out some important files. For my money they are terrific.

I have been using bluehost for 3 years and have not had any problem with them. The support is helpful and, for me, only 1 time zone away. I have tried GoDaddy and 1 and 1 and found that the cPanel user interface is straight forward and uncomplicated. Thats why I have stuck with bluehost. I have read through all the replies and it seems that there is a lot of good suggestions for good reasons. It really depends on what fits you best and what meets your specific needs.

I also vote it and I think it is more trusted by many. I've been using this for a year and I never encounter any problems with it.

Hostgator is extremely reliable and very quick to respond whenever I had a problem, particularly when I first started out online a couple years ago. For domain name registration, it doesn't really matter. However I now use Namecheap as they are cheap (you can Google "promo code" for a discount) and best of all they have been offering free privacy protection (you're details are not shown on whois).
