Default What hosting company would you recommend?

Hi guys and gals...

As of now I have my domains spread over a couple registrars and a hosting company I'm not satisfied with.

So I'm planning to choose a registrar with good (end preferably cheap) hosting.

But with the ability to have lots and lots of domains sharing the same space.
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 best
registrar and host for us IM'ers?

Edit - Google spellingcontrol messed everything up

I've received reports and info products from Mike Filsaime in which he states that GoDaddy is quick to shut you down with even the slightest accusation of spam, without even investigating.

He also said, the reports, that if you buy your URL from GoDaddy they are likely to freeze it.

I've been transferring the URLs that I purchased from GoDaddy so they will all be renewed elsewhere.

It hasn't happened to me, but I don't want to risk it.

If I were you i shoud sepearte your domain registrar and webhosting.
Use GoDaddy or Namecheap,they are both fine to register domains.
For hosting I can recommend you Hostgator,you can try them 1 month for only 1 cent.
Many warriors use HostGator allready.

Hey guys,

For hosting, I like hostgator.

I like their live chat option, quite
often they've gone above and beyond
for me to get things fixed.

I'd recommend them.

I really like Kiosk - it seemed a bit complex at first to set up each domain. What I really like about it is that every domain has a separate cpanel with separate login. You can work on one of your domains without having to worry about deleting everything in one fell swoop. (have to admin I am a bit of a klutz on the keyboard.

I use Hostgator with a reseller account. I'm fairly new at this and only have a few sites, but the aluminum account is $24.95/month and allows you to set up accounts for each site, which means that each one has a separate cPanel, and you do not have to have add-on domains.

I find that a lot of marketers recommend Hostgator.

For registrations, I use Name.com, which gives private registration for free. Godaddy charges for that.

I buy my domains at GoDaddy (using a promotional code from FatWallet) but host everything at 1and1 ... I think their prices are good and the support has been superb. I particulary like how fast my sites load.

DO NOT host with GoDaddy. I sell a lot of websites so I get the chance to interact with a lot of different hosts, installing sites, uploading files and setting up databases. GoDaddy has the worst speed, the worst control panel, the worst features, and the worst everything in general. They even charge for access to the kind of webstats every other host provides free. 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.

BlueHost are not too bad, but they're not too great either. Everything at least works with them, nothing times out and their features are not too bad. I wouldn't say don't go with them, but nothing leaps out as being great about them either.

In my experience, the number one inexpensive host is Hostgator by a long long shot. Their speed is great. Nothing ever times out or fails. The features are great. The specs of their service support virtually anything you could want to run. They have the latest PHP, they have cURL support, ionCube loaders, SSL certificates - the works. Their live chat support is fast and helpful. And, even with all that, they are so cheap! I mean, one cent for the first month (with the ever present always googleable coupons) and then only ten bucks for a heap of space & bandwidth is pretty hard to compete with.

And that's a clue right there. Hostgator can give 1 cent for the first month, and can afford to pay affiliates anywhere from $50 to $125 per individual signup, even if it's just to a $10 a month plan. They couldn't possibly do this without going broke if they weren't retaining a lot of customers long term. This is a strong indicator of the kind of service they offer.

In a nutshell, don't touch GoDaddy for hosting EVER. BlueHost are okaaay. Hostgator, my clear preference and recommendation.

I've been hosting with POWWEB for quite a while.
POWWEB is reliable so far.
The feature I like the most is that you can ask any web hosting questions by online chatting 24/7.

Without a doubt the best webhosting company is.....drum roll please.....

Site Build It!

65% of all SBI sites are in the top 3% of all sites. 30% are in the top 1%.

Anyone know of another webhost that can even come close?

I rest my case.

For VPS or Dedicated, Liquid Web is as good as they get- and they respond to support tickets in minutes.

for the Shared services, I like Site5 because they give MultiAdmin control on my domains (meaning that all my domains are NOT a subdomain of my main one and each has its own cPanel)

Bluehost is great if you don't have a ton of high traffic sites...

I can always get in touch with support in no time at all, they're always helpful and kind. And you can buy domains right there unlike hostgator. (I think)

And it has 1 click Wordpress installation which is great when you have a ton of Wordpress blogs like I do.

Hope this helps,

Zach

Whatever you do, do NOT register domains with your hosting service or get hosting from your Registrar. Keep them separate - in case serious problems crop up.

For Registrars, not the cheapest, but GKG | Making Domain Registration Work For You is the main one I've used for about 8 years now. Very reliable, excellent support and responsiveness.

As for the others - I don't much care for GoDaddy, Yahoo, BlueHost, 1&1 and a few others for hosting purposes. This is strictly for technical reasons, but all of them restrict your use of your account's full potential.

1&1 sucks support-wise in my experience...they seem to expect the customer to do everything themselves (like installing addon modules, etc.).

Ditto, ESPECIALLY FOR avoid Globat!

I tried Globat once and actually regretted it, even though they offered a sweet deal!

Why?

Their idea of upselling is, we've got your credit card number and we'll just stick the extra charges on there anytime we feel like running a "marketing special" unless you tell us you don't want it...and don't wait too long to tell us you want to opt-out. I get a TON of email, and sometimes I don't get to read through all of it, and every now and then I got an email that said something along the lines of "your hosting plan will be upgraded unless you tell us not to". I would tell them no, I don't want it, and then they would send me another upgrade letter in a month or two.

I told them I wanted to opt out of receiving their upgrades, that I don't EVER want to be contacted about upgrading because I was happy with the plan I signed up with, and guess what? That worked . . . for about 3 months before they were upgrading me again!

I eventually ended up just canceling the card I had charged that account to in order to be sure I protected myself. And here's the thing: I had signed up and paid for hosting with them for a year! Not worth the headache of the low price I paid for it.

Einstein once said: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." "Stupidity is insanity with better branding." - Darren Scott Monroe. And Winston Chuchill said, "If you are going through Hell, keep going."

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned WebHostingPad. They're relatively new (a couple of years old) and they offer everything everyone else is offering and then some.

I made a technical support call on a Friday afternoon and was talking to an English-speaking native in Chicago in 22 seconds. I called the next day, Saturday, and had to wait almost 30 minutes, but they know what they're doing. I recommend them from personal experience.

I also have a LunarPages account and they're okay. I expect more for what I paid. I've used Lypha but closed the account within 30 days due to slooooow tech support. Don't go with GoDaddy for hosting! Good luck.

Lunarpages is pretty solid and not to expensive.
Check it out.

Good Luck,
Andy

I guess it might help to have someone actually mention why they do or do not like the particular companies. I tried GoDaddy because I figured they would be around a while and I had been getting my domains there for years. I was moving from setupsite which was not a good experience. It seemed they had one person on staff for support and they took forever to take care of problems. GoDaddy simply did not give us enough control over our database. Canceled the hosting (no problem with getting my money back - thats a plus). I then moved to IXwebhosting.com. They are cheap. I dont know of a less expensive host and you get 5 separate sites with the plan we have. You also get two free domain registrations and lots and lots of space. Unfortunately with some of our sites their email is not acceptable so we moved those sites to crystaltech. More expensive but a solid host when you have to be up. Now? we have sites accross ixwebhosting and crystaltech. Happy with both.

I use HostGator, but I'm looking for a green alternative. Also, Cloud Based Hosting from Mosso.com looks appealing.
