Good Webhosting?

[Artificial]

Anyone know any good webhosting providers?

I don't want anything that has not been around for at least a full year. Preferably, no webhosting ran by people who think they can do it for extra money, I need something that is a legit business and will not just bail. It would be nice if it was cheap, but offered a lot.

Something that has the following specs or better or similar will suffice.
=== General Features===
Disk Space: 1500 MB (Preferably, unlimited)
Bandwidth: 100 GB (Preferably, unlimited)
Control Panel: Yes
Uptime: 99.9%+
Backups: Yes.
FTP Accounts: Preferably, unlimited
Ads on your pages?: No Ads or Banners
Account Setup: Free and Instant
Technical Support: Live 24/7
Subdomains: Preferably, unlimited
Parked Domains: Preferably, unlimited
Add-on Domains: Preferably, unlimited

=== Technical Features ===
MySQL Databasees: Preferably, unlimited
phpMyAdmin: Yes
PHP: 5.2
MySQL: 5.1

=== E-mail Features ===
Web Mail: Yes
E-mail Addresses: Preferably, unlimited
Mailing Lists: Yes
POP: Yes
SMTP: Yes

There are a few good webhosts who advertise on ForumPromotion which reputable members who own them. I won't be recommending myself as HolderHost is not currently accepting new orders- hopefully that will be fixed within a week.

Two that I would check out are:
RatHosting.com
USHost247.com

P.S. if this is for a forum- I don't mind giving you some sponsored Webhosting provided you put a link to HolderHost on the site near the top... 🙂

I'd recommend hawkhost.com, they're fantastic.

I'd recommend hawkhost.com, they're fantastic.

They offer low disk storage.

Not many sites use more than 3Gb, I'm sure the plan would be adequate for your needs 🙂 Have you taken a look at my offer and at RatHosting and ushost247.com? 😀

USHost247.com

Hasn't been around long enough for me to trust them.

Have you tried "Empirehostings" they are oldest and one of the most trusted host on FP.

sShadow owner of EH is very helpful.

Empirehostings

The site seems poorly designed. I clicked "Read More" under the hosting plan on the front page and it redirects me to a page with like no additional information. Is it me?

I noticed they haven't gotten much updates.

I don't know the exact issue but they recently migrated to a better server so their might be some issue with site due to that.

I have PMed to sShadow so that he can tell us something about the issue.

That is like double the cost of what other webhosting providers offer.

I appreciate that PM as well. Yes we recently migrated to a new server that is about 2x faster than our old. That Button should actually go to an article that explains more about our shared hosting. I guess I have been focusing so much on ensuring the rest of our sites are 100% I have neglected our main site a bit.

I could do better with the updates as well. I think the last I made was about adding our second server using Webmin. If your wondering as well the migration was communicated to our customers. I will be making a full post to the site about it soon since it is pretty much wrapped up and went great overall.

While this is true, most of those cheap alternatives usually oversell their space, which causes your site to load slow. We never oversell our space, so your site will always load fast. You can also make your site load faster using the CloudFlare app located in your cPanel.

Along side that, we also offer you a service level agreement, which most hosts do not offer. With our SLA, we guarantee a monthly uptime of 99.9% or your next months invoice will be discounted! You can read more about our SLA here.

If you have any further concerns, please do present them and I will address them as best I can.

I have found the issue here. I also upgraded joomla on the site after the migration and it seems to have tweaked the way it handles a few things. I have managed to deactivate those particular "Read More" links until I can get it set properly. If you want a summarized version of it simply click the top About Us link on the site(in the menu don't use a drop down).

If you choose another host then that's great as well. I can see I have a little damage control to do on our site. Thanks for the interest either way 🙂

Asking on here, you're only going to get people who are trying to promote their own host, or someone their affiliated with..

HawkHost is good enough, you shouldn't need plenty of disk space..

Cough. I didn't- I don't think it's the best, most ethical marketing technique. I agree with HawkHost. You really shouldn't need more than 3Gb and they are really quite good. 🙂

That's kind of the result if you ask any where. Your going to get opinions and salesmen regardless 🙂

I highly recommend Shadow's host. He is a wonderful hostman (new term, if it's not coined already, I just coined it), and offers amazing support and the best speeds you'll see around town.

Very true, but if you really want a host, you need to have an unbiased opinion, so basically, ask Google and do your own research 🙂
