    I particularly like Hostmonster's live chat team, I learn many things about web hosting from them, a very smart team :)

    If you like Hostmonstar then why you hosted from ixwebhosting?
    Is ixwebhosting better than that?
    and what ever offer I can take from you site is that real?
    if it is real please tell me your process how did you manage it and I have seen also your site is only 13 days old.

    I signed up with Hostmonster today, so far my experience has been pretty good, would be perfect if I wasn’t picky… Anyhow my only issue with them so far has been that the username you are issued is a derivative of the domain name. So I ended up with a pretty weird username, one that I don’t want to type in every time I access the account. I decided to buy a personal domain name to blog a bit with maybe and that way I would have a normal username like bucky222 but they screwed me and gave me some ninf at the end of my name instead of numbers. I asked support if it could be changed and they said no that their system will not allow it.
    So anyhow, the service has been good so far and I like their cpanel but I am pretty bummed I couldn’t get a decent user name issued even when I bought a domain name to accomplish it “they issue 8 character user names” so I got my name with the end of my phone number but I got ninf instead.

    I have been able to get helped via chat, that's very cool and the girl I spoke with over the phone who called to verify my account was pretty nice and spoke good English, I think she was based in the US. Not friendly but was not rude or anything...

    Nice to meet u finally, you must be the guy who have great interest on the site at my signature :)
    First, I have to tell u that the site at my signature is 100% real, you can absolutely get a hosting discount at Hostmonster :)
    I know that you also have great interest on how to manage the site at my signature, but since you think it's a "13 days old" site, so I'm not going to share it with you, sorry. :)

    First thing is that I know the affiliate.
    And is it not true your site is now only 14 days old? And if you like hostmonster.com then why you have hosted from ixwebhosting? For that affiliate? But I am not confident on ixwebhosting.How about there service according to your 14 days? :)

    I know every thing has a starting point so don't bother about my domain age counting, I am an SEO so I do like to check each and every site from top to bottom.

    Nah hostmonster support is great. If your server is offline they need to talk to a tech.. they are a big company so there maybe a slight queue for them to get to you. be patient.. i assume its been sorted by now tho.

    I wouldn't say their great at all, decent and consistent but not great... Yeah my sites are back up, it took around an hour or so for them to come back online.
