dang, i'm on HG now.... perhaps i shld consider moving b4 this happens to my directories so an0n, u decided where to move yet?
It doesn't happen to everyone. I've been with hostgator for over a year and i've had no problems whatsoever. I've hosted at least 5 directories with them and high traffic sites. Knock on wood!
That's tell about their support! Just choose a vps hosting package for $70 -$80 It would be good for the directory ,but it is really sad to hear that a reputed host is taking too much time to respond!
Rob, i advise everyone i meet to not host with hostgator. I was with www.downtownhost.com shared hosting. www.planet-zorg.co.uk and www.zorg-links.com are some of the sites i had hosted there. planet zorg grew too big, i was using 25% of the CPU usage. did they kick me? nope... they sent me an email explaining i had to upgrade to semi dedicated hosting (cpanel, perfect, $60 a month, quality) - and on top of that they gave me June for free. how nice. they know me by name. such a good host. so yeah an0n, if you need to get dump etc away from HG www.downtownhost.com is where i would asvise you to go Mike
I am definitely liking this site. I will need to find out more information on the server specs, such as how much ram, how much is burstable, what are the actual processors that are being used. And yes, I am getting the 25% crap from them. So I know I need to move. I just do not want to do this until the next update. Man... I am so disappointed with hostgator at this point. Thanks for your input, and everyone else for the Yahoo messages, emails and calls to let me know dump was down. (hey, I do have to sleep sometime Only 4 hrs tonight))
Thanks for your rep Just get on the live support to diego or Jorge (see i know them by name ) and ask them. If you go to webhostingtalk.com (the best WH forum around) they are getting excellent reviews there. No real need for a VPS (which is like cooking for yourself) when you can have semi-dedicated (a step up from shared hosting (like going to a restaurant rather than a cafe )) Hope my nice examples help, couldnt think of a way to bring women into the equation. And what do you mean by waiting for the next update? Mike
I would recommend you http://www.surpasshosting.com/ . I host about 25 websites, some of them high traffic... never had any problems...excellent support usually within an hour
I would recommend the servint.net vps for $49/month. It should be sufficient to handle the load and their support is excellent (phone or email)
an0n, if you are looking for a VPS then my collection on top best vps hosts would help! I have compiled these hosts after good feedback from DP people.
Yes its called Google haters...lol Poor robb has spent a small fortune and google dont even acknowledge it.. thx malcolm
It was on the absolute worst version of phpld to ever exist. (3.03) A lot of SE/SEO problems with that version, plus I used to work on a live within a subfolder, and used a duplicate DB(for the most part) and for some reason or another, gaygle decided to NOT listen to my robots.txt file and flagged it for duplicate content. I just upgraded to 3.06(my personal fav version) and downgraded my 3.1 template for it, so I would like to see some results within a few updates now
LOL that was a comic relief I love this testimonial. and this sale pitch: Seriously hosting problems are really a pain in the ass, Unfortunately I can’t recommend any, from my experience all hosts turn crappy sooner or later, is like a "law of nature". If you really want excellent service, I would recommend that you setup a linux or openbsd (for extra security) machine at your home with dedicated IP and good connection.
ugh... I'm on HG as well. Now this makes me worry as well. Similar thing happened to me last month, and they said I was getting too much traffic, CPU usage issues it seemed. They advised me to switch to a dedicated server too, which is not the option I want to buy right now.
Rob, I suggest you to purchase dedicated server from server4sale.I have a server from them and i am extremely happy with their service! Saad
