I have used www.hostinginsiders.com and www.surpasshosting.com

Hosting Insiders and Surpass Hosting are both very reliable and very cheap.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned Total Choice Hosting

One of the main reasons that I chose them about 3 years ago was the fact that they don't make you pay for a year (or even 3 months) at a time. I've always been on their silver plan, and I've never had a low disk space or bandwidth problem, even when my old site's forums were really active. And one thing I noticed while looking at some of the other sites ya'll have recc'd is that alot of them measure bandwidth in mb. TCH's plans all list it in GB.

Anyway, I'm paying $5.00/month for Cpanel and unlimited mySQL/email accounts/subdomains/CGI/Perl/PHP/FTP accounts, as well as 1200mb disk space and 40GB of bandwidth. And no set up fee :)

Whether a site lists in MB or GB is no difference at all. If anyone is interesting in getting their domain a hosting package, they should know how to convert MB to GB and vice versa.

1024x40=40960MB
1200/1024 = 1.17GB

I have been thinking about trying 1and1.com they seem to be a good service and they are cheaper than godaddy.com take a look at the site, it might be something worth getting for someof you..


1and1.com has some of the worst hosting out there, all they are interested in is Domains. GoDaddy is one of the better cheap hosts, one thing I do not like though is that you have to wait 15mins-1 Day for any changes to take effect. So if you make a MySQL database it will take 15mins-1 Day to get activated, same goes for emails. Plus if you buy Windows hosting on accidents instead of Linux, it takes 2 days - 3 days to fix that. They do have awesome support though. One downfall of GoDaddy is that they do not offer cPanel, the worlds #1 web hosting Control Panel, and in my experiences is the easiest to use.

1 and 1 is a NO GO! Trust me.

Question:

I had like an hour of downtime with Surpass Hosting today and uploading things is extremely slow at certain times of the day (mid-morning to mid-afternoon and midnight)... I wasn't too concerned, but just in case, I decided to read some reviews that weren't posted in their forums...

It seems like everybody keeps saying that they WERE good but now they're going downhill. I mean, I didn't think the "problems" I was experiencing was that big of a deal since my site's just a small portfolio... but the thing is that I have a shared hosting accoung with my dad's company business site and if Surpass is going to have "23 downtime cases in a week!", that's just not going to cut it.

So... can anybody tell me about their Surpass Hosting experiences? Preferably within 2007.

I only have one to give, but they are liked greatly by all who use them.

Media Temple (MT)


I was going to reccomend the same host. I have been with them for a year or so, and they are a great A+ host.

I've been hosted with NetworkRedux for a couple of years now, and I've very much enjoyed my experience with them so far. I just have to say, though, 1and1 has seriously upped their game - they have great customer support, cheap plans, and reliable hosting. Up to this point, I've always used 1and1 to register my domain names and networkredux for hosting, but I've got a side project hosted on 1and1 now because they offered SO much for such a small price. Very happy with it, despite the fact that I do miss cpanel quite a bit.

I have been with DreamHost for almost 4 years.

No complaints at all. Clustered boxes, amazing uptime, fast support, large disk space, massive amounts of bandwidth and much much more.

I have a $97.00 off coupon if needed PM me and I will give it too ya. Honestly, they are amazing at what they do.

Wow Garrett, if I would've known two weeks ago I might've taken you up on that coupon. Thanks for sharing, though. :)

Im not sure if your old enough or have that kind of money and you probably wont even need that much space unless your planning to become a hosting company.

In my opinion, I think 1and1.co.uk (or .com) are the best for hosting and domain registration. :)

Ive been hosted with 1and1 for 2 years now and I have never had any problems and my site has never been down. I bought a domain from them about a year and a half ago too, and thats fantastic. I must admit though, the features arent the best in the world, but its really reliable. :)

Another good hosting place is http://www.hostnsurf.net

I've recently started using www.awardspace.com
I think they're probably the best site I've used so far. With a free account you get 200 MB of space, 5 GB traffic, 5 emails, 5 sub domains, and 2 domains (if you already have the domains)

Just thought I'd share it with you guys =)
