| Posted by MonkeyFiles, 04-15-2006, 01:57 AM | | Well I've been looking for something priced fairly good. What I'm looking for is the specs below, with possible upgrade in future. I'd want to use paypal.
cPanel/WHM
5000MB disk space
50000+ MB monthly Bandwidth
Unlimited e-mail, mysql, subdomain, ect.
main thing is I want to pay via paypal. Most likely would pay yearly/bi-yearly

| Posted by MonkeyFiles, 04-15-2006, 03:24 AM | | no edit button*
Also the host must be USA based so I have good ping. Possible Canadia if good ping time.
|
| Posted by nax9, 04-15-2006, 03:31 AM | | Before you pay yearly, I suggest trying out the services for a few months first.
|
| Posted by BW-Tim, 04-15-2006, 03:36 AM | | How much were you looking to pay?
|
| Posted by kausik, 04-15-2006, 06:50 AM | | hostgator may be helpful for you.
|
| Posted by GigabitONE, 04-15-2006, 01:39 PM | | month to month will let you have the option to switch host when you feel unhappy with the host most host accept paypal now aday

| Posted by piatek, 04-15-2006, 03:19 PM | | Hello
I have been in your situation and still am.
Whatever you do, do not listen to people, give this company a try or this one.
This is no help.
I am not sure why people say " give this company a try " yet on the bottom of their signature there is a link to their hosting.
It's ********.
One thing you need to do. Read the reviews, not only on this site but other ones also. Take at least 2 weeks to figure out who you want to try to go with.
Pay for the first month, not annualy, because i would say 95% of the companies you will try first, you will want to leave.
Unless you will absolutely get lucky, Or unless you have 50 bux / month to get a small reseller.
Take your time.
Don't listen to what people say, because that is what i did, and in the end you are on your own anyways.
By any means, i am not trying to be rude to users here, but honestly, might as well get rid of this forum and post links to different hosts, because really, all you see in every post is the same quote that the is no best host, blah blah blah ...
|
| Posted by MonkeyFiles, 04-15-2006, 03:33 PM | | Looks like these forums have gone down hill, thats a disappointment. Anyway thanks for the advice piatek
|
| Posted by piatek, 04-15-2006, 03:44 PM | | Yeah, well its true, i will not lie.
If a new person come here and asks. I need a good hosts. 5GB with 50GB transfer. $10-20
Next reply will be.
There is no good host.
Next one is.
Cheap is cheap.
Another person comes and lists 10 different companies that do hosting, yet they didnt even experience them.
So newbie searches and searches, and the he is like .. f that, i will go with this company since i didnt get any good help form the forum. There is 100s of companies here posting offers. Yet behind that company there is 1 person sitting and hosting on 1 server that goes down due to failures.
So the newbie switches from one place to another because he is confused with 50 people are shitposting which company is good or not.
If you have been with a company for a long time, at least 2 years, and they have server people working their *** off to give good hosting, THAT is a good company, give a good review under review topic.
Don't tell, go with that one, try this company or that one, i might as well go to google and search for " hostin " and start trying each link and move from host every week.

| Posted by piatek, 04-15-2006, 03:47 PM | | Even better way, if you owe this forum.
You have a lot of traffic here. You could easily start a good WHTHosting behind the forum and give good quality hosting.
I am assuming you care about good hosting since you have this forum.
|
| Posted by piatek, 04-15-2006, 03:58 PM | | Every company that is offering here is pretty much the same ..
I mean those small companies that no one knows their names.
Behind that company there is a newbie that bough a dedicated server for 130/month, bought himself a template for 65 dollars, and is happy because he says he does hosting.
True isnt it.
Now lets name some companies, bigger ones, that actually provide info on their website with how many staff works there etc.
JaguarPC is one.
Their website isnt tamplate. They seem to have reviews on here. Most of them are good reviews.
Lets name a lost of companies like that......
It would help more then have offers of 100s of 1 person companies

| Posted by nax9, 04-15-2006, 04:02 PM | | Piatek : While I agree with some stuff you say...you have to remember the age old adage: "Everything starts from something".
|
| Posted by piatek, 04-15-2006, 04:12 PM | | And i agree with you, those people do have to start somehow.
But, if someone comes in here and is looking for a good host, do you hear someone say " Go host with this kid, he just started a new company "
Or do you see links to hostgator or w/e, slightly bigger companies i assume.
How often will people trust and host with a company that was started buy a high school student. Not a lot I dont think.

| Posted by LP-Jay, 04-15-2006, 04:28 PM | | The best host isn't always the largest. I'm sure its been said many times but its true. In the past I and other people i know have tried these smaller hosts and some have worked out to be better then what may be provided with a larger host. There are also advantages such as with few customers there is usually a better customer to support tech ratio (in most cases anyway.) and that the smaller hosts are less strict. Also all these "big" hosts also have bad reviews so don't expect everything to work out perfectly just because you've chosen a well known host.
As suggested before go with a host who has had a large amount of good reviews, the size of this host shouldn't really matter and i would go against paying for a year in one go unless its a really good bargain.
Hope that helps.

| Posted by MonkeyFiles, 04-15-2006, 10:49 PM | | Ok looks like a large amount of the posters in this thread think i'm posting looking for them to tell me they can host me. I was looking for people to suggest companys they have used, and know that they are good.

| Posted by RackFleet, 04-16-2006, 05:51 AM | | Most hosting companies will work with you on your payment method. If you find a host you are interested in and they dont offer paypal, just ask them. No one wants to turn down a sale ;-)
|
| Posted by KnownHost, 04-16-2006, 12:08 PM | | Turning down a sale nobody likes to do but it happens all the time. To keep the business your running to stay clean not allowing every sort of payment is best. Some may disagree but I will firmly stick to my words on this. Once the customer is proven and pays on time, Western Union is okay or a check but not right out of the gate.

| Posted by FlaNative, 04-16-2006, 06:49 PM | | SJR Hosting has excellent service/uptime (I'm a customer and know from experience) and they except PayPal. Search the reseller hosting offers for their special offer.
|
| Posted by KnownHost, 04-16-2006, 06:51 PM | | Hostvoice I would recommend checking out. It is a decent hosting provider search portal. SJR Hosting I wouldn't be able to comment on.

| Posted by MonkeyFiles, 04-16-2006, 07:24 PM | | I just paid for a month with SJR, hopefully they will be good.
|
| Posted by FlaNative, 04-16-2006, 07:32 PM | | You will not be disappointed. They have new servers in the SoftLayer dc in Dallas with excellent uptime.
|
| Posted by WebFoundation, 04-16-2006, 07:36 PM | | Good luck! Not a bad choice.
