I dont know which one to pick.....because of the transfer limits, disk space, and everything else...so could I get some help? Just post which one you like and would go with....and please, do go off on me if you dont like the company's or whatever....

Site5 is in NAC

liquidweb is in VDI

There is only one answer

Site5.

I would not make the decision based on the fact that Liquidweb is in VDI, however I would suggest searching the forum for other Liquidweb posts.

I have done that already and came up wit only a few posts....thanks anyway...

I use Liquidweb and their technical support is very weak.

If you don't ever need their help, and you never want to do anything that you cannot do yourself, you will be fine. This includes things like keeping the server software running.

If you need to have a running shopping cart - they are not able to get Akopia running so don't count on them.

mySQL dies at least once a week on my server it seems. Very painful. I've been there for almost three months and things seem to be steadily poor.

They do not have 7x24 coverage - nothing on the weekends at all. If you have a problem on Friday night after support goes home - it will stay broken until Monday morning.

Just a few notes on Liquidweb - which I've posted in at least two other threads. If this is not enough reason to leave them out of your selection list, then by all means, use them.

I believe the shopping cart will only work on the darkorb version of the cpanel. If Liquidweb is using the VDI version that would explain why it does not work.
