Which hosting company is best?

13 years ago

Jfambrini,

You usually can’t go wrong with any of the main providers (i.e. godaddy, hostgator, hostway, network solutions, or maybe nexcess.net). Why were they shutting your site down? You should note that no matter which host you go with, they may shut your site down if you are exceeding bandwidth or doing anything illegal.

Heres network solutions,

Best,

The problem is with just one hosting company. Moved the site from one hosting company to another and they kept shutting the sites down without prior notice. The first time it was a rogue search engine spider stuck in a loop which they only discovered after I made a lot of noise. The other two times it was some template issues but these sites were running on the other host for more than 5 years without any issue so I'm convinced that this is a problem specific to this big name hosting company which has become greedy after its acquisition.

So, if after 5 years you had no problems, why did you move? To save a few bucks? I'm pretty sure I know where you're hosted at & can tell you that typically "unlimited" web hosts, yes, all of them, tend to jam pack their servers. Your sites are most likely attempting to use the resources you're being sold on that are far limited than what's advertised. Since there's never any room for resource spikes, the first person to hit their cap gets shut off.

I have spent hours upon hours working with some Warriors here going through logs and top reports from their old hosts only to find that their "high usage" is actually not that high UNLESS there's no head room. Ask your current web host for the ps aux & top outputs.

Then, I'd recommend either moving back to your old web host that had no problems or finding a new one that specifically limits the loads on their servers.

Thanks

There is no best hosting company. Use redundant hosting. Host your site on 2 hosts at once, and switch from one to the other when one host is down.

KingFish, am happy with my first host godaddy. Even though a lot of people bitch about them, the only problem I have with them are the occasional downtime which everyone experiences with them and lack of live chat otherwise they are great. I opted for a second host for redundancy sake as I learned not to put all eggs in one basket from my CIO years. This host gets recommended a lot on every forum so I went with them but the last few months they have been testing my patience and with this last drop I wised up.

Thanks

I like Hostgator. Even when I make a mistake the guys on the help desk are really patient with me. You can get to speak to a real person within a few minutes 24 hours per day.

Don't use them for auto blogs though. I made that mistake and it cost me a lot of money.
