who do you use? I need to get some and was looking at hostgator and godaddy. I read some reviews but tbh they are pretty much useless.
any suggestions? |

Most budget hosting is done by people who over sale, then close within a year or so.
The most recommended and reliable for non-commercial hosting is lunarpages.com <<-- host mobclan.com cirtexhosting.com <<-- host 2 of my personal sites. 90% of non-commercial hosting could easily be done using Cirtex's budget plan which works out to less than $48/year on a 12 month plan. People make the mistake of paying to much for hosting based on storage or bandwidth they will never use. It would be rare for a non-commercial site to need more than the 5gb space / 100gb bandwidth on Cirtex's budget plan. Before signing a long term contract with anyone I would 1st do a search at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ to see what kind of reviews the provider has. I wouldn't sign up with any hosting provider that didn't have an active support forum but that's just personal preference |

Hostgator is good and its support consistently replies fast -within hours. They've been around for many years. They have alot of complaints seemingly but only because they have alot of clients they cater to. They are pretty solid as long as you don't max out on your server bandwidth -then they do get silly. However they do give you alot of bandwidth depending on the package you get.
Checking out most hoster reviews you'll find they score in customer satisfaction and in comparison to most standard fare hosters. If you're looking for top-notch, cyberwurx is stellar.. This post has been edited by Hellfighter: 06/02/08 6:46am -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
