Hi everyone,

I currently have hosting plans with http://www.Linuxwebhost.com , http://www.addr.com , http://www.phpwebhosting.com , http://www.hostsave.com , http://www.liquidweb.com

Most of the plans I go for are under the $10 a month mark, and most of the them have Mysql/ PHP4 around 3-4 gig monthly traffic. (Liquidweb is used for my huge audio site -- and despite some downtime they are FAR better the the AWFUL ***** I was with!)

Thing is, I want to consolidate all of these into one hosting company

Can anyone recommend the BEST host for support and Mysql/PHP4/Telnet etc for under $10 ?

(I was thinking about a dedicated server from version12.net -- but their offers are offline for the moment......)

Thanks guys/girls.

Tim
:D

How many separate plans do you have? One at each company?

Oh timbo,

I just don't understand why you choose those companies. Among the five you mentioned, I heard angry comments for at least 4 of them.

http://www.Linuxwebhost.com
http://www.addr.com
http://www.phpwebhosting.com , http://www.liquidweb.com

Move out to some highly recommended hosts here.

good luck.

Heh, I have bad luck when choosing them ;) But to be honest --- addr.com has been rock solid for me with only one minor downtime (3-4 hours)

Liquidweb has been rocky over the past weeks, but are now full steam ahead - just like it was when I joined last year.

Hostsave are amazing for $6.95 a month - had a few hours of downtime but still, I don't use support much with these....

Phpwebhosting/linuxwebhost are good so far.....

Well, I just signed up for http://www.hostmatters.com - so we shall see!

:)

(me thinks it's time for a dedicated server!)

Right now I'm on a $7 plan with BlastHosting - http://www.blasthosting.com So far I've been fairly pleased. Quick response time for any questions/concerns I have had. I'd strongly recommend them.

i'm hosted with http://aletiahosting.com and they have everything, and still have the best service. they even helped me with my site when i had problems.

Again, a fantastic price and great amount of features. I will be moving to this baby too!

So doesn't this prove a point - I was stupid enough to believe those other so-called-hostreview Web sites that are basically just advertisements for poor companies.... when there are LOTS of excellent small hosting companies around!

:angry:

Just a quick update on this....

I cancelled all of my addr.com accounts (yippeee!) and moved 3 sites over to http://www.aletiahosting.com due to their excellent prices (and rather sexy Web design too!)

Funny thing is, when I came to cancel my addr.com accounts I was offered 3 months free hosting with them....but as I replied "thanks, but not thanks" to their support E-mail address I got a mail bounce back!:

Please tell me how your aletia account does. I am looking @ them and at HostRocket. I have heard good things about HostRocket, but nothing really about Aletia, so Timbo, please share your experiance w/ me :)

would either of these hosts be suitable for hosting a business web site? we are a VERY SMALL industrial air pollution control equipment supplier and designer and do not want to appear small or unprofessional (20year old business).
thanks,

I know of 2 great companies that resell. One of which did my web design work for my site. orbitauctions.com offers great selling rates. Their lowest hosting package i belive is like 10 dollars and he gives his resellers for like 7 dollars and that package is like 150 mb and everything you wanted. Just a thought. Oh and the other one would be ***** you can even rent a dedicated server from them for like 100 bucks. They have crappy reselling support but orbitauctions.com gives you a 800 number i read i think. you have nothing to lose then to keep on looking. Good Luck on your Quest!

Yes they would. I have been looking into both and I don't know which one (HostRocket or Aletia) but both would do what you need. I would try sending an email with a few questions to both of them on a weekend to see which one replies faster or with the most help. This could help you decide. One more thing, from what I know, HostRocket has been along for longer...if that factors into your decision making process.

Please tell us what you end up doing!!
