hi! Figured I'll post here,seems this thread helped me pick a web host. I've been struggling to decide which host to use. I've previously used hostgator. not terribly impressed. I fumbled around making mistakes like adding too many databased and just not knowing how to set up a site properly and due to low finances/aka none..i couldn't pay my account. I saw in someone's sig somewhere in dp about tmz. figured i do a search for reviews and this thread was almost at the top. Read thru and checked out the site. I purchased approx 90min ago,and I'm now fully up and running. I think the start up wizard is excellent. (maybe i didn't do that the first time with hostgator?) One thing that is noticably different between the two is what tmz call a webdisk. Icon sits on ur desktop,acts as a shortcut to your root folder. Saves upload time heaps. I just uploaded a theme of around 660mb and it took only a few minutes,compared to stuffing around with ftp programs and getting cut off. I think that peeved me off the most with hostgator. Not bad for about $8 aud. (currently 5.50usd) I'm impressed so far.
Arcanus thank you for the great detailed review! If you need anything feel free to PM me or email support.
your welcome. my site was working,until just a few minutes before I decided to go to bed,then it started to show my previous webhost. I am assuming this is becuase the domain hasn't properly propogated yet. If it isn't working come tomorrow,i'll definitely pm you for sure!
Its changing DNS until it fully propagates. If you have any problems you will get a faster reply contacting support, but if its not urgent you can PM me.
I am using TMZ for my proxies and so far they have been great, support is also good and usually I get a very quick response.
