My Hosting Went Out of Business. Suggest Me a New One and How To Transfer?

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by spiritfly, Mar 4, 2008.

    My hosting went out of business today. I liked them very much, their support was the coolest, they hepled me on time every time I needed it, even when the mistake was on my end :) The rule: "the customer is always right" really mattered for them, I'm very sad they are gone.. At least it happened at the end of my payed year :)

    They say my sites will be up until 3 of April so I have some time to transfer, but I don't know where to begin?! :(

    I've never transfered my sites to other hosting, so can you guys tell my how should I do that in the less painful way? I have about 15-20 sites, nothing big really, but still I would like to have them up and running on a new hosting in less downtime possible.

    Also please someone suggest me a decent hosting. I was paying about 30 bucks/year (with a promotional code that is :) ) for:
    100GB Transfer monthly
    10Gb Diskspace
    with cpanel, and unlimited mysql databases,domains,emails,addon domains... everything else.

    Thanks!

    We're sorry that your old host closed. But you can checkout our plans at http://www.extremohost.com/shared.php
    You make think it's a bit expensive compared to your old host, but the reason being, is that we don't oversell, which will make sure we don't go bankrupt and closing down :)
    And as long as you have a backup, or the old server is up, we'll move it for you :D

    You can join 1websiteshostingpromotions.com/package.htm by selecting a most suitable and affordable package.

    If you have backup it can be restored.
    If not, your complete website will be moved to new server.

    Hi! I have had IX web hosting for a year. They have an easy control panel and a variety of nice templates to use to make your sites. I have had no problems and their uptime for me has been 99%! Check it out, for the price they have a lot to offer. j

    I have IX and I can't stand their control panel. Their uptime has been great lately but last year there were some bad days... So I do not recommend IX web hosting.

    Thank you for all of your generous offers guys, too bad I have to choose only one :)

    Well right now I can't decide between those two: iwhic and imageleet. Both satisfy my offers, similar prices, but I guess the question is which one is better at uptime and loading speed?

    Any suggestions and opinions about the two are welcomed, thanks.

    30 Days Money Back, No questions asked. As far as speed goes. Not to many on here can say they host faster unless they are on our servers. 8 core 2.0 servers with at least 4GB of ram.
    You can see our main server here. http://iwhic.com/servers/
    and second server with php5 can be found here.


    Please let me know,, Thank you

    IwhiC I must say your offer is the best I have found, and judging by some of the reviews I think your hosting plan suits me the most.

    I also need higher version of MySQL than 4.1 as I some of my sites will be in cyrillic and I need UTF-8 as the default charset.

    I sent you a PM regarding payment, please respond.

    Thanks

    i Have one account with iX web hosting - I do not like the control panel.

    They have phone and chat support which are good.

    But if your site get an error it goes to a page with ads that are not related to us.
    -- Which is very bad..

    I would like to to go to my home page not to 3rd party ad page.

    I am taking a second account from iwhic they are the best I found in DP.
    you may go to thePrimeHost.com - They are good as well.

    I find RankTheHosts.com gives pretty good info about which host to choose, thats where I found out about a few hosts I never heard.

    Why break ur head? Also think of opportunity cost? Just turn it to the geeks @ www.geeks4me.com or any other firm. They can move ur site. The former also has special offer, where they offer free/discounted installation/site transfers if you go with their hostinmg referral (host does same at much higher, but still bargain prices), which is rated No. 1 on the net for years for best value and customer service.

    PM me with any Q. Good luck!
