Host Company Reccomendation

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Ian, Jan 15, 2006.

    I'm wondering if anyone has any reccomendations for a reputable (and more importantly reliable) hosting company that can give me the versatility that my current company has.

    I have the ability to host up to 50 domain names and have a Plesk interface to add and remove them, along with controlling e-mail, MYSQL Databases, account limits for each domain, etc. I had been happy up over the last two years, however in the last few months there's been at least one outage a month that has gone from lasting 5-minutes, to 20-minutes, to an hour, and now most of the day. It's getting out of hand and I've lost confidence in them to prevent this from happening as frequently as it does.

    It's not a reseller or dedicated hosting account, it's just a single hosting account that as I said had been great up until now. Unfortunately today pushed me over the edge as it's been down for about 6-hours now and this is simply beyond the point of being acceptable. I'm not going to mention who it is as I don't believe in doing so, I'm simply looking for advice from all the great people who post here.

    Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply, and I appreciate your time.

    asmallorange dot com would be my recommendation if you are looking for a US based one.

    I'd probably recommend hostgator.com - excellent service - those guys really know what they are doing.

    HostGator.com all the way. I've used them for over a year now with over 60 sites on a single account. Very good company. The best customer/support service I've seen in a host.

    I like icdsoft.com. This company is probably a little less to offer, but their service is excellent, and if you sign-up for a reseller account you can get some really good rates. They only offer unix/linux accounts. Whic in my opinion means they can focues on linux which is my preference.

    Can't recommend an actual hosting company for shared stuff, but I can tell you that if you have multiple websites then you should get a reseller account. It's much easier to manage your websites.
