Looking for reliable hosting company...Any suggestions?

Try arvixe web hosting, i have been using their hosting since 1year without facing any down time issue and they support unlimited bandwidth, domains, cpanel 11 etc..

The truth is that very few hosting companies are unreliable, and if they are, you'll find out very quickly with a Google search.

You can use Justhost. Hosting make little impact on SERP.

I recently bought hosting from a provider here on the WF, - hostthename,

and i've been really happy. really cheap and reliable. (and i update all my files every week manually anyways just incase which is always the smartest practice)

Bluehost, JustHost, and Fatcow are the same company: EIG. I'd avoid them entirely.
Dreamhost is passable.
JaguarPC and Froghost are much better unlimited hosts.

Why do you need "unlimited" space & bandwidth? Any company that is selling you that is clearly lying to you, regardless of how big the company is. There's no such thing. Read their TOS and you will find that you are in fact limited. Google "suspended by HostGato", or put any other unlimited hosts name in there.

99% of the mainstream web hosts offering unlimited services are extremely overloaded.

You may think I'm being biased because I own a web hosting company, but we strictly limit how many accounts are on each server. This has proven time and time again that our customers would rather pay a few bucks more to have a well managed & well performing infrastructure. That's not to try to get you to buy from us, but don't go with an unlimited host.

There's been a couple web hosts come through Warrior Forum offering unlimited this and that, then they flop. One was ProudHosts - they sold everyone on this unlimited cloud hosting, and come to find out it was 1,000's of accounts piled on one server.

You need to look for a provider that treats their customers as valued customers, not just another account.

Look for this:

RAID 10
CloudFlare
Backups
LiteSpeed

Apache web server, honestly is getting deprecated. LiteSpeed runs 10 times better and uses less resources. At least this is my opinion. Even out of the box it runs great.

CloudFlare will aid in site performance by caching your static content all over the world, thus cutting down on load times.

Backups, better safe than sorry.

RAID 10 is pretty much the standard today. It boasts great redundancy & higher performance when it comes to I/O.

If you're looking for the cheapest web hosting, that's the quality you're going to get. Little small times companies offering big packages only to sell them a few months later to another company to clean up the mess. We have just acquired BrightVPS (VPS Hosting Company) and have a lot of problems because they oversold so massively. Poor performance & frequent downtime.

If you have any questions, let me know. There's only a handful of people on this forum who actually know what they're talking about regarding hosting. Most of the people pushing HostGator 9 times out of 10 are affiliates somewhere down the line.

Hi guys I've used a few in the past such as Bluehost and Justhost which I found to do a decent job with minimum downtime from my experience. I was wondering if anyone has used SiteGround before?

Ive been using knownhost for nearly a year now since I upgraded to VPS hosting they seem pretty good and never had any problems, their support is pretty good too.

Pushbuttonhosting is great, using it for 3years now and never had any issues however could not tell you about the Price!

Question for the original poster: What demand/need does your business have that makes the third account necessary?

And I'd like to throw in my two cents about all the EIG hosts.

EIG's marketing is annoying and I wouldn't want to run a company like theirs. To be fair, the quality of each of their hosts varies, but even the crappiest of them will still be fine for sites with small resource demands (which is most sites on shared hosting).

I use a really good independent hosting company thats based over here in the UK. They're not cheap though, costs me around $160 a month but does everything I need it to do and more.

Will be happy to pass on their details to you if you like.

HostGator would be an exception in my opinion, but otherwise that is true

Of all the faux "unlimited" hosting Hostgator is probably the best. If you get a second account with them, you are most likely to get a new class C ip and accomplish what you need.

That said, I would consider Kingfish85's advice the best here.

Well aren't most of these hosting companies pretty liable as far as uptime. I'm not going to be doing tons of traffic, but just need something that is reliable day in and day out without any issues that will host like 20-25 micro niche sites.

Aren't companies like bluehost, dreamhost, and others sufficient enough to handle what I need compared to some of the more expensive options out there?

HostGator is probably the best web hosting for internet marketing. Its cheap and you can host numerous sites on it.

You can try hostgator.They offer 1 month hosting only for 1 cent

After reading so many obvious desperate affiliate marketing review sites, and links (as well as reseller) from the internet including this forum I think the person who knows what they are talking about the most is KingFish85. And checking out the website the it looks very nice and professional, no sales pitch. just facts. I am shocked that so many of the bigger name sites dont make it clear what type of servers they use, or where.

I am a novice launching my first website, but this website is not a small task, its a full ecommerce site and the main function is wholesale physical goods from china (where I am). I decided to use Prestashop because many people said that it was lighter, and more importantly, much easier for a beginner to use. My question is how difficult would it be to set up using VopaHost?

I would just like to add that 100GB bandwidth on business acct is allot! of traffic (esspecially for a new site) and actually, the speed on this server will be faster for the visitors (as it seems to me anyways) because there will not be so many IM resource whores on there hahaha. For me I will have allot of product pictures, which i want to load fast. Just like customers of smartphones have learned, unlim. internet plan isnt really limited.

I hear good things about blue host, although if I were you Id just open up an additional account with host gator.

Hostgator all the way!
