Bubbajazz Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I am interested in site hosting recommendations from the group. I was considering GoDaddy, but a recent topic has given me reason to consider other options. I will be needing a reasonable amount of support as a newbie, but price, service and reliability are all important to me. Who do you use, and what is both good and bad about them? Thanks.

SpaceNorman Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I've been using IX ( www.ixwebhosting.com )for the past couple of years. My experience with them has been pretty good. The price was right (at the time, less than $10 a month for a 24 month commitment) and included 4 free domain names. They offer all the hooks for Frontpage (if that's your tool of choice), a "canned" site generation tool, support for CGI scripts, etc. Uptime has been acceptable - and they've been pretty good about providing advance notice for the 1-2 times (in the 18 months I've been hosting through them) that they've scheduled some maintenance time (purportedly for data center power upgrades). Their technical support staff has always been very accessible (never had any long waits on hold) - and they've been very helpful every time I've called (it's always been something in MY code that they've helped me work through). If you're looking for a simple hosting service for a band site YOU develop - I'd definitely consider them. The SpaceNorman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 If you don't need your hand held, I highly recommend surgecenter.com. Tell them Sam sent you. "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDragonSoun Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 There are alot of good options out there. I went with a company called start logic and haven't had one issue yet. They also have a forums section if you need help. Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion, unobtrusive - Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanker. Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I use PowWeb - $5.77/month for the first year, 300GB disk space, 3000Gb/month bandwidth, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've been with them for 3 blissful years. The performance is excellent, service top notch, support is wonderful. I can't recommend them enough. If anyone decides you use them, please use my affiliate link http://www.powweb.com/join/index.bml?AffID=563828&LinkName=kevinankerdotnet and be sure and tell them kevinanker.net sent you.

Dave Pierce Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I love phpwebhosting.com, I have a bunch of stuff there. But it's definitely NOT the hand-holding kind of place. I like 'em because I get a UNIX shell and ftp, with minimalistic web tools. But if anyone reads this thread looking for a geek's hosting company, check them out. --Dave Make my funk the P-funk.

Garrafon Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have had good success at GoDaddy, but I'm not doing anything terribly complicated. That being said, I know GoDaddy can handle may more than what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
