Hosting Service - Please suggest some.

I use Hosthead and they are very reliable.

I use A2Hosting for my sites, they have great speeds, uptimes, and support for Joomla.One of the major sellers for me was their support, as I have always worked Technical.

Bluehost is great!

Can you give some more details about what you're looking to host, types of sites, budget, location etc?

I've same problem with you before. Even my wso didn't convert well because my slow old hosting. Then i try to move my hosting to another hosting provider. Interserver webhosting, their service is AA+. And voila now my wso convert well.

I rely on dreamhost, the most reliable and recommended hosting service provider. 99.9% uptime, the service is almost amazing at the best.

hostgator will do

Have a look at hosting services from a2hosting.com and ifastnet.com
Their plans are resourceful, uptime is high and support is active and helpful for 24 hours.

I use 1and1 and have no complaints.

innohosting.com
Its not just a hosting company.
Its a marketing lesson about how customer support sould be...

Is your market local or worldwide?

If it's local, you really need a web host who will host your website in your country.

For a global site, this is less of an issue, but it's worth having a look at a CDN service like MaxCDN or Cloudflare who offer a free version. What a CDN does is copy your website all around the globe and so when people access a website, it's sent from the closest possible server, meaning it loads in a decent time (this is in addition to hosting).

I've been on some foreign websites before which have been hosted abroad and even on a fibre optic connection, I've left some sites thinking that it just wasn't working, when in-fact it was just due to how much of a delay there was.

As for a host, I've currently been using Siteground and have been very impressed. Everything I've broken, they've fixed for me, they reply to my messages within about 5 minutes at any time of the day/night and my speed statistics have been really good, even on their most basic service.

Try messaging a few hosts through their live chat feature and getting an idea of response times and how knowledgable they are. Some hosts I looked at recently had a live chat feature with no-one online.

i have tried almost every hosting company out there over the years, and as far as i am concerned HostGator is the absolute best... host unlimited sites, unlimited bandwith, unlimited disk space... all for one super small price... one of the cheapest and one of the best at the same time + easy to use and very good service... i have had 0 problems in all my years, but with other hosting companies, it has been one pain after the other... but this is just my experience, might as well be totally different for some other colleagues here

good luck!

Wow...I was expecting decent suggestions but the first 5 or 6 are just terrible.

@bob, what's your budget? Do you need root access to the server? How mission-critical is the site(s) you're hosting?

A lot of those shared hosts that people recommended are cheap, but shitty.

I will recommend crocweb

Hey !!

You should most definitely go for Host Gator. The most reliable host I have ever used. Almost 99% up time. And the support is simple amazing. When ever you are facing any issue you can completely rely on the support to fix it right at the moment.

I rate it A+++

1. Hostgator
2. Bluehost
3. GoDaddy
these are the best if you ask me.

I recommend hostnurse.com, I'm hosting my websites with them, their services are reliable and fast and the support guys are friendly and helpful.

I have used different web hosting providers, and going by my experience, Hostgator is the best

It really depends on what you're looking for. Obviously there are a variety of different hosting options out there that fill a variety of different needs. I would avoid EIG owned companies like HostGator. Usually the smaller hosting companies have a better commitment to service and better service.

If you're looking for good WordPress shared hosting, I would take a look at Nexcess or Ahosting.net, both of whom I've worked with and are fast and reliable with great service.

Hi all,

Thanks for your responses and suggestions. I am not looking for EIG companies (hostgator, bluehost etc.) - they are not worth my time and money. You may ask why?? For last 30 minutes I am waiting for chat to start but it is still showing as estimated wait time as 30 minute. Did I forget to mention their slow speed?? One of my 22 KB site is taking 26 seconds on one particular server.

My requirements are simple. I need wordpress hosting that is fast, secure, reliable and not too costly.

The problem with small companies is that they might have good support but they lack security and are not reliable.

Any other suggestion apart from hostgator,bluehost and godaddy?

Thank you.

@bob, I currently use probably 10 different hosts, but mostly VPS, dedicated, or cloud servers.

For not-super-important WordPress sites, these guys have been great, and they even offer SSH access:
https://shockhosting.net
Plus I see they have a 50% off coupon right on the home page.

I have a couple WP sites hosted on a Digital Ocean VPS which are actually slower than my shared Shock Hosting sites.

For shared hosting, I've found DreamHost, GoDaddy, Netfirms, and Hostgator to be worse as far as speed and support.

namecheap or hostgator

I use go daddy for my domain gives me independent domain management and its cheap

But then I use Hostgator for my hosting, as most marketers do, its the best. Folks don't host with godaddy because they are slow.

pm me for further info

regards

Jim

You can try with either Hostgator,Bluehost or Godaddy (I prefer godaddy)

Hostgator is by far the best, If anything thing don't use GoDaddy for hosting as their hosting is very slow, GoDaddy is only useful for buying domain names

A2hosting.com and ifastnet.com are decent hosts which are worth trying.
They have stable servers and affordable prices and their technicians are skillful and active.

www.dollarsiteclub.com offer fantastic services. Design and build for $1 then a small monthly fee no contracts.

I do not understand why people still recommend hostgator and bluehost when I clearly mentioned that I want to leave them and don't want to work with any EIG company, period.

Hostgator or dreamhost,bluehost is the best !
i think you should use VPS

Hostgator happy user myself !

Top 10 Best Website Hosting Services of 2014


Personally i use hostgator.

I would suggest avoiding any company operated by EIG(Hostgator, blue host, small orange).

Hey Bigrocks and godaddy both are good .

Host gator is the best service provider but its a bit costly.

Just been through a terrible week of downtime at Hostgator.....

All my client websites were down....very embarrassing and unprofessional to say the least.
Their support has degraded over the last 6 months and a couple of my client sites have been impacted by several specific outages this year.

So from my perspective, there is no way I can recommend Hostgator at all....I'm actively researching for a replacement....
