I'm currently with Connective Communications [http://www.CCWebHost.com] and they have a deal I'm on where I get 200 megs with 5 gig transfer for $18.00/mo. and I can split up the webspace with additional domains for $4.00 extra per month for each domain. They also have 24/7 toll-free tech support.

It's a good deal, and most of the time I have no problems.

But, lately my site has been down allot. I subscribe to a service that e-mails me when the site goes down, and tells me how long it was down for. It's been down for as long as 12+ hours.

I'm starting to get some jobs where I host the sites I build, and I don't want to have customers get pissed when they find out their site goes down frequently.

Does anybody know of any similar deals like I have?
I'm seriously considering changing all 4 sites I'm currently hosting to a different host.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated......

There is hostiva.com I seen their stuff, I think I saw you can host that many accounts or more but no setup fee, I believe. I do not recommend them because I do not know them personally, but at least that is what they advertise.

They go under a new name, and well I think they are cheaper with a cool H-Sphere control panel ;)

Ohh yeah if you go with them, tell the guys I sent ya ;) they might be nice enought to give me some money or something or I might be lucky for some free hosting (I doupt it)

Yeah, Hostiva.com looked pretty cool.

Does anyone know anything about their ability to actually keep
website up most of the time?

My host says 95.5% uptime, but things haven't been up much
lately. Maybe I should ask for a free month? Or just switch?

Once you switch with them I know for sure they waste $16 on you just for signing up because H-Sphere charges $4 one time fee per account. Well I dunno much about free, heh.

$4 x 4= $16

Just for your information... you can do a search on them in this forum -> Search Result about Hostiva (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=154249&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) ;)

Hope this helps!

Heh, what I have seen about Hostiva, EEK!!!

Well now I do not recommended, well they could always change, but a history that bad, the chances is that he might do it again.
