For the last couple of years I have been using a web hosting company which I have found through this board. I have used (and still am using) various web hosting companies, but I have to say that in terms of high quality service, value for money, and price you CANNOT beat those guys. I want to make it perfectly clear - I am NOT affiliated with those guys, I don't know anyone there personally, though I did talk with the owner (Brian) several times, this is how personal their service is. They have an insane (50% or so) discount for DP members, I don't remember what's the code, but if you contact them, I'm sure they will help you, they are VERY fast. I created this thread for a couple of reasons: 1. To help you guys, who are short on cash, and still want to get a world-class service. 2. As an appreciation for that company, which I appreciate so much. Click here to go to their site - NOT an affiliate link
Well Rohit, to be 100% honest, I don't even know who he is, by his username. I have no clue what service he has with us, etc. No idea whatsoever. We have had several thousands of clients over the years (we have been in business almost 17 years). We don't pay people to post. We don't give free hosting to post. Per our affiliate program guidelines, we also don't allow affiliate codes/links to be posted in conjunction with reviews. That's not how we operate. Every review we have out there (we don't have many publically-posted reviews, positive or negative, if you'd bother to search) are completely legitimate. Thanks for your concern though!
It might sound like it but I can assure you it isn't. WSWD is a respected poster on these forums, he talks sense, obviously knows his stuff, and doesn't need to resort to the low tricks that you see wannabee hosts get up to. I've no doubt it's a legitimate post and I'm certain that WSWD genuinely doesn't know who this poster is. You don't survive 17 years in the hosting business by not being good at what you do - and being good at what you do means happy customers that you keep for years.
Go for a medium sizes company and I guarantee they will provide more personal help and be more willing to assist you in your needs.
I agree with RonBrown, happy customer means a lot and they can speak good about company, as it's a humans nature to share experience with others
Both of you are wrong. I can understand your suspicion though. Like I said before, the reason I made this thread was out of pure appreciation to the excellent service I'm getting with them. After hosting a couple of sites with them for a couple of years I'm very confident recommending their services, and I'm sure if anyone takes my recombination and tries them they will not be disappointed. I haven't received any incentive for making this post. You don't often come across great value deals, like getting top class service extremely cheap, and when you do, sharing it with the community is the best thing you can do, both for the community and to show gratitude to the seller for his efforts.
