Which Hosting Provider Are You Using?

If you are going to be driving a lot of traffic i recommend a VPS server. I personally use BeyondHosting because they are very Affiliate Marketer friendly. They will even install CPVLAB or Prosper202 for you which is great. Hope this helps.

To Your Success!

If you go the VPS route, which is a good idea, check out Wiredtree as well.

First things first...

Don't use
- Godaddy
- Yahoo
- 1&1
- Dreamhost
- the 50+ EIG brands, including Hostgator, Bluehost, Justhost, iPage, Fatcow, and a crapload others.

I have no idea why people still suggest these hosts in 2013. They're terrible Walmart-quality "mass market" hosts with poor uptime, poor support, and slow servers. Ignore the fake "top 10" lists that praise these SOLELY because of their payout. The list owners want to use you, not help you find a good host.

Now that that's out of the way...

My main four hosts are
- EuroVPS (7+ years),
- Stablehost (4+ years),
- Namecheap (~1 year) and
- Veerotech (~1 year).

Each of these is excellent, with some of the best tech support around (speed AND effectiveness), excellent uptime, and non-overloaded fast servers. I use several dozen hosts (different needs), but those are main ones, and some of the best ones. Between those 4, everything you could want is there -- by price, location, service, etc.

Now go get yourself a good host.

Hostgator was bought out by EIG, which owns many many brands. I'd suggest avoiding all of them, at least until EIG gets their data center in order. Also avoid GoDaddy.

I use LunarPages and Arvixe. Both are pretty good. I've had problems with both, but I think those kinds of problems can happen at any host.

I think I will go for BeyondHosting, looks cool that they'll install you cpvlab or p202 free.

You have load of spelling mistakes and missing letter in the main page.
Fix it first.

Hosthexa is just a spammer. Ignore it.
Before choosing a host, look also at WHT feedback (webhostingtalk.com)

LiquidWeb blow HostGator out of the water IMO, when it comes to quality.

And support over there was much faster than HostGator. You should check out getting a Storm SSD VPS running Linux from them. It is a great server for Affiliate Marketing.

I think justhost is worst.
I prefer hostgator.

Just host is the best and the cheapest for shared hosting. Though they are all owned by the same company, JustHost has a better cPanel than HostGator. Their support is the same though. Anyway if you are looking for VPS, these companies might prove to be expensive. I guess any managed vps/dedicated hosting will be expensive if it is managed. Look into unmanaged hosting. A small learning curve but a 10 times more cheaper with 10 times more features.

WiredTree is best in my opinion

Arvixe is working good enough fo me. Their support is what I like about them.Not to mention the quality . Just Perfect !

A2hosting and readymakers are good enough hosts to have a deal with.
Their services are beyond praise.
All works like a clock with them.

i used Stablehost hosting and heard few of my friends that hostgator also best.

I never heard of those servers. I think all the time I was in the wrong boat hah.

Dedicated on hivelocity.

ipage, hostgator, and hawkhost.
I don't trust single hosting....

I was using HostGator for years, so bad now.

I just got my VPS set up with BeyondHosting and they've actually made the whole process easy. I have to say that their customer service is excellent too. I've submitted two tickets to them, once was answered within 10 minutes and the other ~ 30 minutes. Everything is very simple and there's a straightforward tutorial on how to install prosper202 on your server which you can do in a couple of minutes.

Go for beyond hosting. They have very good support team also.
If you are going to drive in loads of traffic then go for VPS.

KnownHost.com Ftw.
1 GB of Ram, Fully managed with a 15% lifetime discount code.
34 dollars a month, Not bad at all.
They Have a Really awesome support/customer Service Team as well.

I have been thinking about leaving hostgator when i noticed i had to reload one of my websites twice for it to load properly. The first time it was literally down which was odd. I need to research how hard it would be to transfer everything over to one of the reccomended host companies.

I am using beyond hosting starter vps package. It can handle upto 50,000 clicks a day and is working great for me at the moment.

Liquid web is the best period.

I've been hosting with IX Web hosting for the last 3 years and things couldn't be better. The customer support is excellent, uptimes are flawless and the web resources I get for the money I'm paying them is quite a bargain.

I don't believe in promoting hosts just for the sake of it, so I will say that there are loads of good hosts around and you should, at the end of the day, take only those opinions which you trust (word of mouth from trusted associates, friends, relatives), but if you as me, IX is a pretty decent company to host with.

I'm using BuyVM for my unmanaged vps. It is pretty cheap and the service is good.

I am using Liquid web.. Completely satisfied..

I use ipage where I did not have any problems with them. Their hosting package is cheap and reliable. Their support is perfect. You get very fast response. Also they have 7/24 live chat support which makes everything perfect. They also provide a lot of free tools like marketing credits. For the price that you pay it's very affordable and it worths it. My suggestion is for ipage. You can check their website and see if it's for you.

Beyond Hosting. It's great

It depends on your level . I moved from VPS to Dedicated Server to Our own Server RACK

Just get a VPS or a low end dedi if you can't afford it.

Best,
Ean

Media Temple !
The fastest host for wordpress sites !
Even their shared hosting is better than many VPS hosts !

I'm on WiredTree and can't complain.. they give you a lot of control over your server and their support is excellent.

This thread is a tad old but beyond hosting has worked well for me

We use HostGator ffor many sites and their service and hosting is as good as ever.
We do also use our own dedicated server via UKFast who are fantastic but not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.
