The guy who has very graciously hosted my website, www.metrodemontreal.com , since its inception is planning to move, so I’ll have to find another provider. It needs to support PHP, mysql, and (right now) a little under 20GB of bandwidth a month. I’m on a very straitened budget, so finding something relatively inexpensive would be nice too. Any suggestions?
While websurfing, I found these guys: http://www.powweb.com/ . Do they look credible to you? This is really beyond my expertise, so I would appreciate any suggestions.
I’ve heard of POWWEB and don’t know much about it. It’s probably OK, but I can not confirm nor deny this.
Techchick recommended http://www.readyhosting.com to me over a year ago and I’ve not regretted it. They are $99 for a year for the first domain and half that for any additional domains. They have ColdFusion, something I’m very fond of (not that I know how to use it that well). I’ve got more domains there than I care to mention and so far, no big hassles.
I also use http://www.dixiesys.com and they seem to be very good, quite cheap, but not with as many bells and whistles. Not as “big and comfy” as readyhosting. (IMO.)
I asked a webhosting question a few months ago and someone here kindly directed me to this site’s message boards. Great resource, and you can just run a search on any web host’s name to see what people think about them.
I use Intergenix (http://www.intergenix.net), have used em for a few years across a couple different sites and never had one problem. Dunno on the rates, though.
the webhostingtalk message boards above are a good place to go.
Personally I have http://www.icdsoft.com and I am thrilled!
I have been adminning a site that is hosted there, and good god they are fab. $5 a month, lots of features, a scrummy control panel, and best of all is their support. Any question you might have, answered within 5 minutes. I think I waited 10 minutes one day, or I might just have forgotten to refresh, but that is the complete max I have experienced. They are in Hong Kong I think, but my access to them in europe has been fab, no lags, no breaks no nothing. I strongly reccommend, I am getting my very own account with them next month!
