What is your target for hosting?
Are you looking to be a reseller? or are you looking for a place to host your web site.

While new, the responses I got from method5 were really good.

Mchost was another leader, and mbshost.com was yet another.

I go out and poll as a perspective customer, researching which host I would personally host with.

Looking for the fastest response time (In Ping), response to my e-mail inqueries etc.

Method5 is currently winning, and I have hit them with hard questions.

From simple html questions, to questions about VIM updates, and other more advanced questions, domain pointing etc.

If you are looking to be a reseller I recommend mchost, or mbshost, if you are looking for a lot of space, great service and plenty of bandwidth it looks like www.method5.com would be my pick.

And I am considered a pain in the ass when it comes to what I consider service.

These guys did it for me, and thats all I needed.

Hosting companies usually don't provide technical support for HTML coding -- it's the customers job to make their own web site, unless they want to hire a web designer of course. :rolleyes:

Of course they dont avara, it was a test to see to what extent they will go in providing some kind of support.

:rolleyes: whats this for?

Read the entire post, instead of pulling out something in context and having an emotion over it, understand its context first.

Just because some companies dont usually provide some do, so its a needle swings a certain thing, you may not think so, but other people may want that, and provide it.

Do you?

Not officially, but yes if I have the time to spare. :)

I just think that some hosts might answer HTML-related questions from someone who isn't a customer, just to make a good impression.

But if they answer it, and answer it correctly, and speedily that shows more than an impression.

Method5 I have asked many questions of them and from simple, to difficult they are right there.

That to me, is more than an impression, it is the norm for them.
