Website hosting???

I’ve been looking around for a little while to find who i’m going to host my website through.
But i’m still unsure on who to go with, i have a few hosting sites in consideration but i’m still not 110% set on one.

Any suggestions on who to go with???

Thanks,
-Anthony Roe

   skullface said 3 months ago

   aaand ixwebhosting is definitely a better deal if that shit’s really unlimited

   for sure! i’m wanting to go with something that is unlimited.

   i found hostmonster.com and they seem to be good, especially for the price.

   i’ll check into these. thanks much!

   www.dreamhost.com is what I use and haven’t had one single problem

   awakendesigncompany said 3 months ago

   thanks for the input everyone. i really appreciate it.
   i like the pricing at first glance of dreamhost, haven’t looked at the details yet though.

   do you have to pay for your domain with dreamhost or do they provide a free one with certain packages???

10. 

    ithew said 3 months ago

    i’m pretty sure it’s free

    I don’t recommend IX Webhosting!....

    Although they are nice, helpful and cheap....you get wwhat you pay for.

    we’ve been with them for about 6 years...and they have a lot of short sporadic down time.

    mainly if someone on your shared server is busy....your site will go down.

    and they do not offer dedicated servers, incase you need to grow.
    you will need to move to a new company.

    plus if you are running a ecommerce store...other than oscommerce....their mysql and database is suspect...we had a lot of problems...with server errors.

    Media Temple is A+ for our new servers.

    Anyone else have any other ideas for who i should maybe go through???

    Thanks for your all’s inputs already, it means a lot!

    I use GoDaddy, Im sure there are cheaper out there, but they’re reasonable and their tech support is phenomenal

    Another vote for Dreamhost here. I’ve used them for a couple of years, and not really had any problems, except for that time they charged their entire customer base millions of dollars by accident, of course (they were really sorry though, so its ok).

    And if its the same as when I signed up, you get a domain free with any package, and its free as long as you keep your hosting package, if you move away I guess you’d have to move the domain to another domain service, or just dreamhost for the domain whilst hosting it elsewhere.

    As goofy as dream host ads look they’re about the best hosting site i’ve seen that is in my budget range.
    And yeah you still get the free domain name. which is great!

    Also just wondering for those of you all who use dreamhost.com
    or any other hosting sites,
    it says this: "Operating System: Debian Linux"
    Can i still use that with a PC/Windows OS
    I’m still VERY new to anything like this and i have no idea about all the technicalities.
    So any help with that is much appreciated!

    I’m no expert on this kind of thing, but I think that the Debian Linux part is that their webservers are run on Linux.

    I’m using Windows XP and I can use their services just fine, maybe I’m missing out on something by not using Linux myself, but I haven’t found it in the past two years of hosting.

    Wow! that’s one of the best i’ve seen so far.

    Remember to google "*chosen webhost* coupon code" or "discount code" or something like that before buying your hosting. It’s such a competitive market that webhosts are desperate for your business and have some great coupon codes.

    I guess you’d have looked for coupon codes anyway, but I thought I’d better mention it since I got 50% off my first 2 years hosting (it cost less than a dollar a week!).

    I have narrowed it down (currently) to 3 different hosts. 3 being the worst, 1 being the best....

    3. www.netfirms.com
    2. www.1and1.com
    1. www.dreamhost.com

    Netfirms: I like what they have to offer with their packages. But the pricing is right at the top of my budget.

    1 And 1: Like the pricing a lot and features, i just dont know if its to good to be true. (anyone host through them???)

    Dreamhost: Like the pricing, like the features. Heard great things about it.

    So anyone that knows about webhosting, critique those 3, or recommend someone that is better even.
    Thanks for everyones input, it’s helped a lot!

    I know that a web design and technology company local to me host all of their clients sites on 1and1, and according to them a lot of people use it. I’ve been on there quite a few times, and tbh, i like the professionalism of the site and whatnot.

    So i’d go for them i think....although that may not be the most useful thing to know lol

    Very helpful man, thanks!
    They run really close for what i’m looking for, but i think dreamhost offers me a little more for just a little more money.

    *oh and the coupon codes are working out beautifully :) thanks dude!
