Hello,
Im from Canada but http://www.wizardshosting.com/ is from US i think. Its cheap but is it better to get from my own country or will it make no difference? Anybody have any experience with them about uptime, reliability, customer service, and also do their SSL secure place work, Im using it for e-commerce so i think i can have that page for the credit card info. ALso does it have a shopping cart too?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Speaking as an ex-reseller of WizardsHosting and now as a customer of DataColo (Same people in reality) I can say they are top notch, you really couldn't wish to work with better people (Notice I said work with, not just be a customer of - at WizardsHosting you're not just another customer).

yes wizard's hosting is very reputable and a great company, if you take a look at the comments and ratings on host search they are all 10/10!

This does not mean anything. Many host plug their own company from different IP's. That is why you see web host just starting with 10 - 20 10/10 ratings, yet large established host have only a few ratings.

Never said it did. I just don't think reviews on HS mean anything and shouldn't be used to find a host. Read post about the subject here. Reviews remind me off all these so-called 'awards' web host put on their site. Those are a joke too.

valuablehost, is that reseller for any thing? the site looks like it...

any comments about them? they seem cheaper than wizardhost $5.95 a month and powerpipe sells domain for $8.88.............

How can domains be so cheap? Is there something that the $20 normal domains have that this $8.88 dont have?

I think wizardshosting is a good provider, and they are going to offer dedicated servers soon too and I can't wait to see what's on the menu.

on the other topic...
I also agree that the comments section on sites like hostsearch are not always accurate. If you look closely at some hosts reviews you will see several reviews on the same day or from the same IP or the spelling and caps all match, meaning someone from the host put the review there. I see that all too often in the reveiw sections of those sites.

no, it depends on how much of a profit a company wants to make. If want to register a domain, use www.stargateinc.com they have every feature you would need and our cheap ($10/domain $8/each if you buy 2 or more)

like stated earlier, wizards hosts this site which gets thousands of hits daily. I have never experienced any downtime on this site. Wizards hosting is defintitely a good choice.
