so I'm starting an online website based on oscommerce. any advice on hosting. i was thinking of siteground.com or ixwebhosting. I've used siteground.com and like their setup and ease... please no commission pushing advice. thanks!
Well I cant say im not partial to one service but I have tried a few different hosts over the past year or two. There are lots of things to consider when looking for your host so I wrote a blog post about my experiences in hopes others will learn from my mistakes. Take a look here if your interested. MDW Blog
Those 2 webhost received numerous bad ratings and comments from webmasters, I suggest you can use Dreamhost, Lunarpages, or even VPS like vpslink(if you're ready for VPS)
I think it will be nice if you look at the hosting provided by DP members here on DP Hosting section OR if you would like to have service from big an popular companies then i'll suggest to go with Godaddy.com as i have hosted some of mine sites with then and i had been very much happy with their service.
hostmonster.com, thats all i need to say, overall the best host, type in google best hosting reviews its number 1 in almost every review possible! once u research more you will see hostmonster is the place to be!
i use streamline.net i have been very happy with them, they are competetively priced, i got a free domain name of my choice when i registered, email, unlimited bandwidth. they are based in united kingdom and offer excellent support in english. whenever i have a problem i usually get answers within a couple of hours. if you want a professional quality service try them out. www.streamline.net edit* the prices are per year not per month and very reasonable. free ads cooupons for google and msn
I use tb-hosting.com, an english based hosting center with all Quad-Core servers. Very good upkeep time and their support is second to none!, If things are a bit pricey for you I own a dedicated server, i could always create an account for you!, Unitedhosting aswell they have servers in America and Europe so wherever you are you get a lightening fast connection!
personally i think ANhosting.com is pretty good. i have a few sites with them and their support is great and i have had no downtime in the 4 years i have been with them
I do not recommend IX webhosting. I have a plan with them and they are my least favorite host. A lot of downtime last year they have been doing well lately but I will not be renewing.
We offer webhosting and Fantastico is is supplied in your cPanel which can be used to install OsCommerce, Check out our website for more information: www.electro-host.co.uk
Definitely Hostgator. Better than any other including bluehost, dreamhost, siteground, hostmonster, and blah blah.
Stay away from IX. I was about to use them, but forums like Webhosting Talk are filled with horror stories. And when you Google "IX Webhosting Reviews", most websites at the top are owned by IX, and if not, there are affiliate links.
LiquidWeb it's the best! I work with this company and I'm very very happy about them. They do provide a top class support. I'm an Email marketing provider and use their servers and used to send lot of emails and they take care that everything is working properly.
The best of all times;HOSTGATOR Just no need to think of it.. Just go forward,type in your address bar, www.hostgator.com and then sign up with them. Cheers... You will be very happy using its services. Thanks..
