Hello Guys! Finally,I filtered all the hosting companies based on reviews,speed and cost. I ended up with to Hosting providers namely 1and1 Hosting and Ipage Hosting. Can you suggest which one is better in terms of Speed ? (I need high speed servers since some of my site scripts has to perform large queries in very small time period) Thanks in advance Sandeep
I am more inclined to go for iPage. However, since I am not yet a customer of iPage, it will be nice to hear some comments here...
I honestly recommend you take a look at some unbiased/unpaid reviews (As, if you type in iPage reviews on Google, you get dozens and dozens of blogs posting their "great success" with them - However when you type in the term "site:webhostingtalk.com ipage" - the first link is to a page called "IPage stole $45 from me - Web Hosting Talk" ; Same goes for 1and1) at http://webhostingtalk.com .
None of them coz they are overseller. Since your script is very resources demanding,VPS is your only choice.
I'm curious to know how did you end up filtering down to only those two providers? Reason I ask is I'm wondering if you found those providers through one of those fake web hosting reviews/ranking sites. I don't have any personal experience with either host so I couldn't give you any advice on which to go for but I do agree with what mentos said above. If you're looking for a fast server you need one that isn't crowded and at those prices i'm sure they put thousands of websites (not out of the norm) on the same server.
I think Even those two companies are not worth now... After reading many threads in http://webhostingtalk.com (Thanks to RadexRichard ),I see even those two have very less positive points... As mentos says,I think VPS is my only choice.. I am not an expert to buy unmanaged VPS But, managed VPS is too costly for me...
I wouldn't necessarily say you need a VPS, there are many companies out there you can give a shot who doesn't stack their servers with accounts. Why don't you give some of the following providers a try. They mainly cater to application type hosting and run very good hardware and aren't the cheapest but still cheaper than a VPS. rochenhost.com medialayer.com cartikahosting.com
Not sure what was your criteria of filtration but I have seen so many bad reviews about both of them that I lost track. None of them. There are many reputable hosts out there that would beat both of them in terms of speed, support and reliability.
i was about to signup with ipage but i ran into this page. Where do u ppl see the bad reviews? can u show the link i saw 2 both of them were about signups. regards, AHT
I am using i-page, everything is ok so far but they use own control panel, its so annoying its very hard using compared to cpanel or any other.

Hola amigos, existen infinidad de comentarios negativos acerca de 1and1, y la verdad a nosotros nos ha ido muy bien con ellos, de pronto a veces son un poco demorados con el soporte por email, pueden tardar hasta tres dÃas, pero el servicio es muy estable y confiable, el panel de control es excelente muy fácil de usar, Otra de las grandes ventajas para los que trabajamos con programas de afiliado y compramos muchos dominios es que te dan los dominios mas económicos del mercado por el primer año, .com o .net, .org a 5 dolares, y ahora están estrenando un nuevo servicio en sus paquetes que es el dual hosting, lo que te garantiza que tendrás tu pagina al aire casi al 100%, ya que si se cae un servidor tu servicio seguirá corriendo por el otro, algo asi, jaja, y otra cosa que yo miro es que es una empresa con mucha trayectoria y muy grande, esta ultima puede ser una desventaja porque ser tan grande no les permite tener un soporte en linea, que es una lastima y el servicio al cliente puede no ser el mejor, pero la gran ventaja es que esto hace que no sea una empresa que desaparecerá de la noche a la mañana, y esto te garantiza que tus sitios estarán en linea toda tu vida, si Dios lo quiere claro.
