if i want to have a little (or big) community of users which, web host is good for social networking? has anybody heard any good things about hostmonster, eleven2 and 1and1? they look good but i dont know if there good for profiles, forums ect.

1and1 sucks.

try hostingzoom or bluehost

1and1's name makes me think SQL. You would need that for profiles and such.

I would just recommend getting a host with Cpanel:] try hostii.net because if your site is going to have forums and content management systems like Drupal and Joomla then I recommend getting Cpanel if you can, dont use hostgator they SUCK, I use hostgator for my parents company site and they ssuck for the amount they charge

why does 1and1 suck? and what sspecial about the two you mentioned? thanks.

I use 1&1 and it seems fine to me.

do you have a forum and profiles on your site with 1&1, that allows members to play vidoes and post pitures?

I heard 1and1 customer support sucks.

I recommend DreamHost or BlueHost.

1&1 sucks.

okay since a lot are saying 1and1 sucks, what if i got my domain from them and pick either DreamHost or BlueHost for a host???

yeah I heard DreamHost was pretty good I would try that

1and1 has bad customer support. My friend has a domain from them and their customer support for ANY problem SUCKS. They also sometime crash as a whole (their site, domains and everything) and that's another bad.

BlueHost is good. I've heard a lot about it on sites but never known anyone who uses it.

I have 1and1, and I don't have any problems. I have never had a problem with customer support. I've called them, and I haven't had to wait on the phone more than 10 minutes.
My servers were done for 2 hours, and they credited by account for the downtime. It was only something like seven cents, but they still made an effort.
I don't know why you all say it sucks.

Well I mean I have 1&1 and of course I know what I'm doing so I don't actually have to ask for their customer support. xD

And I've called them before and they helped me just fine, and I've sent them e-mails and they always reply back.


Godaddy sucks with customer support >_> My friend used them and I had to talk to those people on the phone, I swear they don't know what their talking about.

I waited 3 hours last time just to cancel my stupid account :/

I would go with hostmonster.

back in the day when i thought creating a website or a social network was real easy, there was this thing i TRIED to use. and when i mean tried, it was just that i had lost interest and realized it wasnt a thing for me to start just yet. lemme go and check through my emails to see if i can find out what it was....

//edit:
took a while but i found it.
im pretty sure its not what you want but if it helps
KickApps
