Best hosting service provider

Hostgator has been most reliable. Besides not having had any problems with them, customer service has been great.

are you saying hostgator costs too much?

If HostGator is too high of a price for you then check out BlueHost or WebHostingHub.

hi kate i took your advice and i am giving ipage a try and so fare it has been fantastic i have had to have a bit of a training lesson because they dont have a cpanel of such and it is laid out a bit different to what i am use to but they have tonns and tonns of features i think i am going top be a long stayer of i page i compaired hostgator and ipage and there is i big difference on pricwe and functions but i took the 3 for $100 thats only $30.00 per year and the support is great you carnt go wrong but when the 3 years are up ill be paying the difference, i was with justhost but there billing went up after the 2 years finished up as well to nearly $300 for the year so i shopped around and this is a fantastic deal.thanks for the tip.

I have been with Hostgator from the start. I would never consider anyone else for hosting services. Their service is 'Primo'. If you really look around they do have the most features, you will never outgrow their packages and I have a very good feeling 75% of the companies offering low cost hosting are reselling HG. Go to the source.

I have been using hostgator for years but in the last 6 months or so I noticed that all of my websites started running incredibly slow. I talked to support and they told me that the shared server I was on had its Apache web services being attacked by a hacker so they moved me to another server. Then that one started to get slower and slower and they moved me to another one again.

It is my opinion that hostgator is growing too fast and are out-growing their data centers & perhaps cannot keep up with the demand so their servers that provide shared hosting are being pushed to their max which causes slowness. Thus the moving around to new servers. I therefore now recommend Blue Host or Dream Host.

If you want dirt cheap hosting and month to month payments I would go with GoDaddy. Their control panel sucks (compared to Cpanel) but their support is top-notch and you can get basic hosting for like $3 a month with a coupon. Here are some GoDaddy coupons that are updated daily: GoDaddy Promo Codes - GoDaddy Coupons, Coupon Codes, and discount codes

I would ask where is your target market ?

I use hostgator personaly for our wouldwide business stuff as with most of the above and would recommend them, the live support is great.

I am based in the uk so for uk sites I use fasthosts and have done for about 10 years now, I would not recommend fasthosts for there add ons and extras and seem to lack when wanting things like fantastico for auto installs ect, for general hosting and basic html sites I found them perfect.

if you are having multiple sites I would use more than one host the saying "never put you eggs all in one basket" stands true


I know a few people that use Bluehost and recommend them
Godaddy are another although they are getting very bad press right now over SOPA this maybe because they are one, if not the largest, but thats another story for another day.

Another is namecheap for hosting they also sell domain names cheap believe it or not

Uk2 are another I have used, only reason I stopped using them and went to fasthosts reseller hosted server was the bot support system donkeys years ago was very annoying but they where cheap and never failed with downtime, they have changed to a ticket system so thats all sorted out now.


I will post the links on next post due to my post count.
