Hosting Companies for WebSites
Can anyone recommend any good US Hosting Companies? The current hosting I have is located in the UK which doesn't work well if you have site issues and are located in the US. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also any good web design sites. I think it is time for me to do a complete overhaul on both site and host. Greatly appreciate it. Thanks Donna aka: taboomodel Jan 23 06 10:31 am Link I've had good results with Hostgator and Dathorn. You can find tons of info on hosters here. Jan 23 06 10:48 am Link I host for as little as 5.99 a month. Others may be cheaper but their cheap package does not offer the same programs and such as their top package. The only difference in our small package and large package is the amount of space you get. Jan 23 06 10:50 am Link Jan 23 06 10:55 am Link i use aplus.net for my site and have been extremely happy with them. Jan 23 06 11:19 am Link Godaddy.com - there is simply no better hosting company!!! Jan 23 06 11:21 am Link I use yahoo hosting... 30 bucks a month... No headaches... Jan 23 06 11:24 am Link Paul Ward wrote: Hey Paul, I am also happy with Aplus.net ... they are a bit more expensive but it works well with my system as far as security and credit card billing. If you have a high level or volume website, I recommend upgrading to a dedicated server to avoid problems with bandwidth usage. Jan 23 06 11:25 am Link I'm with http://www.hostdime.com they're pretty dependable and cheap, and you get a lot of space. Jan 23 06 11:45 am Link One of the largest right now with the newest, up to date servers, in http://www.hostrocket.com Have used it for over a year and is very reliable, with 24 hour phone support, which is a huge plus! The few times I have called have been quick. Support via email is almost as fast. Jan 23 06 06:00 pm Link I use Fatcow.com --- great price and great customer service. Jan 23 06 06:03 pm Link I like webair.com.. not the cheapest, but pretty damn cheap. Jan 23 06 06:04 pm Link The Art of CIP wrote: Thats expensive isn't it?

I use dreamhost Jan 23 06 06:16 pm Link raveneyes wrote: This one is wicked, Raveneyes, thanks for an awesome tip (I won't tell on you, though) Jan 23 06 06:18 pm Link MarkMarek wrote: No tell on me...tell on me Jan 23 06 06:20 pm Link raveneyes wrote: I noticed. Either way, you do deserve credit, cause I wouldn't know about these guys otherwise. And I will be switching my webhost in late Feb. There's another one though, which is not as packed, but a bit cheaper, so I'm still undecided about which way to go. The truth is, that for the price, these guys give you more than you could ever get elsewhere. I mean, look at other rip off artists charging $19.95 for 5GB bandwidth... With their higher programs you can get $200GB transfer, but these are $99 a month. Dreamhost - holy macaroni, 1 TB a month and constantly growing. Utterly - a dream host. Jan 23 06 06:27 pm Link Hi Donna, I have had some wonderful results with www.hairyglove.com (I know is sounds freaky), but they are professional, and within the past year, I have had no issues with them. Best of luck in your search! Jan 23 06 06:35 pm Link Oh! Something to think about: if you intend to put any nudity on your web site (including "implied", like on your profile), you may want to check with potential hosts to make sure they are okay with that. Some host can be quite conservative with regards to things like that. Jan 23 06 06:37 pm Link raveneyes wrote: Any preinstalled scripts? What control panel does the user use? Jan 23 06 06:42 pm Link JM Dean wrote: Like formmail? I don't know off the top of my head I haven't used any of them... JM Dean wrote: They have a control panel to do everything possible with your domain from managing DNS to setting up multiple domains, to mail handling... I think they programmed it themselves...it is very versatile and I've only had 1 hour of down time in the last 3 or so years, but down time requests are answered very quickly...by phone if you ask them to...usually in under 10 minutes from my experience. Jan 23 06 06:54 pm Link Response time is very fast. I already contacted them and got the reply right away. I'm a little reluctant to have my site hosted in the US, because of your brutal laws regarding nudity and stuff, but hell, that's the best hosting deal I've ever seen. Folks looking for the ultimate hosting package should click the button above. At last the company which provides what you need without a rip off. Jan 23 06 06:59 pm Link I've been pretty happy with http://www.lunarpages.com . Plenty of storage space, nice scripts, more databases than you can use, and for us programming nerds, php, java, and asp, all for dirt cheap prices. Reliablity is good, and tech support is quick and friendly. Jan 23 06 07:02 pm Link WOW!!! Thank you everyone for your hosting advice...I guess I have my homework cut out for me...I am paying a ridiculous price of $29.95 a month with a UK hosting company which takes them 3 to 4 days to respond to an issue. Off the top of my head I think I have 30(mb?)space. So I am ready to move it back to the states...lol. On top of that they have control of my domain name so I'm sure the laws of the UK are different from the US. I know another model had a thread going on Domain name and you being able to access your on domain name. Thank you again to everyone who has been extremely helpful with my quest. :-D Donna aka: taboomodel Jan 23 06 08:53 pm Link wow that dreamhost is a sweet deal.

Jan 24 06 06:32 am Link I use ATCI Hosting. They are very responsive and very helpful. They will even move your existing website to their servers for you. You can get more information about them here: http://www.atcihosting.com/?ref_id=140 Jan 24 06 07:51 am Link raveneyes wrote: I *just* opened up an account with them (thanks to your referral) and I *did* click the banner that points to the referral cgi. While it doesn't look like that, by itself, did much to associate my signup and your referral, I'll make sure that they know you referred me and make sure you get the appropriate credit. Jan 24 06 01:47 pm Link kickfight wrote: Thank you so much... they're really a great host AND I love their referral program...I don't have any clue why their referral program is so good, but I love them for having it. Jan 24 06 02:52 pm Link www.1and1.com They support PHP and ASP depending upon the hosting plan. I use them for all my stuff including: www.EricMuss-Barnes.com www.CaliforniaBikeNights.com www.WyndFeather.com Jan 24 06 02:59 pm Link Tiora.Net I've been with them for 8 years and I've never had a problem, never even had down time! I love that I pay with Paypal too. For the most basic set up for $7.00 Account Features: » 500 Megabytes Storage » 5 Gigabytes Data Transfer » 5 FTP Accounts » 10 E-Mail Accounts » PLESK 7 Control Panel » Unlimited E-Mail Aliases » Unlimited Auto Responders » Password Protected Directories » Full CGI Access » WebMail System » Complete PHP4 Support » Detailed Web Site Statistics » Redundant Nightly Backups » Pre-Configured CGI » Perl 5, Python » 30 Day Unconditional Money Back » 99.95% Network Uptime Jan 24 06 03:01 pm Link www.p4host.com the really cool thing is that you can actually get to speak to a LIVE person if there are any problems. I've been with them for 2 years and have never had any problems. Jan 24 06 03:04 pm Link i dont know if anybody mentioned it, but customer service is very important when choosing as well i've been rocking with westnic for a while now, great service, especially for producers/webmasters who are hosting more than 1 website http://www.westnic.net - 10GB of space and 300GB of bandwidth for 7 bucks or $23 every three months. their customer service is good and reliable and detailed as well. they also use cPanel, which is something dreamhost doesnt use (had them for 1+ years and service was okay) another spot is Ipowerweb, their more costly but excellent customer service http://www.ipowerweb.com - its well worth the extra bucks you pay. to anybody who is not exactly experienced with the options on configuration with web hosting, going with a spot with cPanel is probably a key, because its easy to navigate and run throgh. dreamhost has its own panel, but no outright cPanel to edit your pages in the program unless you use an outside source.
