Seeking Hosting

    I am ONCE AGAIN seeking hosting due to Dot5Hosting and their POOR levels on every single thing they have. Control panel, servers, support and the list goes on. They suck period. Therefore I am looking for another host.

    My main concerns are support and server speed mainly. Here is what I'd like to get:

    40GB of Space at Minimum
    250GB of Bandwidth at Minimum
    Unlimited MySQL, EMail, Subdomains, Addon Domains, Autoresponders, etc.
    PREFERRED cPanel Control Panel

    My budget is around $6-$7 monthly. As long as there is sufficient space and bandwidth and the support and servers are fast, that's all that matters.

    Please recommend me some hosting companies to check out. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR DP HOST'S. At least not right yet. Please just recommend some hosts with good reputations and such.

    Also some reviews on these following hosts as well:

    1. Lypha
    2. IMHosted
    3. WebHostingPad
    4. SuperHosterz
    5. Omnis.com

    The bottom line on webhosting is you will not get great support if you have a hosting plan that costs $7/mo :p.....Also, having over 200gb of bandwidth for that price is obviously overselling.

    ^^ I beg to differ, people like Omnis Hosting have fast servers, even though their plans are outrageous.

    Either way, this is not a discussion on what you think of the stats or the price, its a recommendation topic. Not to be ignorant but lets keep this on topic please.

    No, I never said they didnt have fast servers :p....Hostgator.com uses the latest dual quad core xeon servers, with huge 10gige backbones...That said they offer like 3000gb bandwidth for $10/month, and they get mad at you and say you have violated the tos if you use over 50gb....

    If your not looking for DP hosts then why post here? This is DP. If you want recommendations I suggest WebHostingTalk.

    Cameron, I said at least not yet. Why is it so hard for everyone to stay on topic? This is supposed to be a forum looking to Buy, Sell, Trade... instead the topic is getting turned into a general topic discussion.

    If your a DP host and believe you've got the right qualifications and reputation as good as other hosts do, then by all means, post your plan. But if your a host without any kind of reputable rep and at least 15-20 reviews and everything, do not apply.

    If you are not going to use that much, why are you looking to buy a plan which offers that amount ?

    For $7/month, I would offer -

    8GB space
    90GB bandwidth
    Unlimited MySQL, EMail, Subdomains, Addon Domains, Autoresponders, etc. cPanel 11

    I would suggest you to pay for what you really use, than risk getting scammed by people overselling :)

    Let me know if you wish to order this one, as it is not available on our website.

    Cameron, please stop with the sarcasm before you get reported, really, its not needed. And for the record, I wouldn't dare go near HostGator with all of the issues I've heard about them. I'll pass thank you.

    Regarding hostgator those small issues cant be compared with all the clients they have! The fact is that if one guy submits a bad review on a forum, then the same review from the same person will show up on 100s of blogs a week later...

    Thanks,
    Freddy

    I'm not being sarcastic. I'm giving you a suggestion of a good host. I use them for a few personal sites and I have no problems.
