Recommended Host?

I'm currently using Ipowerweb. I'd like to switch to another host because I can never get through to Ipower when I need customer support. I'm usually on hold with them for 30-60 minutes before someone picks up.

I'm starting my new wordpress blog this week Who should I use to host it?

 

I think bluehost and Hostgator are good ones..try figuring out which plan you need on both these sites

Hostingzoom is my suggestion

 

Don't go with Lunar Pages. I'm learning the hard way with them.

 

hands down, LiquidWeb.

They have 24/7 phone support as well as web support via tickets.

they have awesome prices and amazing customer service & support.

I've been with them over a year now and I don't see myself ever switching away from them

 

Not really. You told me to use them last year and they ended up trying to move all of my sites to a new harddrive - and I lost an important database and they couldn't restore it.

 

Wow, that sux the big one.... what kind of compensation did they offer for that screw up?

 

Nothin at all. We had to restart our community. We had over 60,000 posts.

 

Here's a thread on web hosts in the Underground.

Someone suggested http://webhostinggeeks.com/ for reviews and I'm finding disturbingly similar problems from other people with my host as I'm experiencing myself.

This is a sad affair.

 

don't use StartLogic. they are rated #1 somehow and they suck complete a#*

don't even have the basics like fantastico or w/e to get Joomla on the site and when you ask them they never know anything

 

Why couldn't a few account members agree to share a dedicated host?

It seems like a lot of these web hosts try to get as many people on their shared servers as possible and then, about a year later, decide to pull a fast one and force the account to a dedicated server.

It's pure BS!

 

www.getinthelink.com works pretty well!

 

Exactly. Don't rely on a shared host unless your site is small.

 

I use A Small Orange.

 

ixwebhosting is best...must try..

 

What is considered small? 100 visitors per day?

Because I have less than that on daily basis. My brother is on a shared server running a forum with hundreds of users on a daily basis. So far Lunar Pages hasn't shut him down.

Instead of working with their customers to resolve the issues they stab them in the back without warning. I can't believe others haven't sued them yet!

 

Most host a pretty slick with how they word their Terms of Services to shield their liability.

 

should try hostgator .. cheap and fast

 

hostmonster is a good choice... They have a great Customer Support!
There package is pretty outstanding!
