Since I've already selected these three hosts, features are not important. What I am curious about is:

- How fast and thorough is customer service?
- How fast are the servers?
- What is the uptime like?
- Any bad experiences?

I will have to host about 4 active sites and 3 non-active sites there. Main site has about 20,000 pageviews a month. Using CGI, PHP, mySQL (at least 2 db's), Flash etc.

I've strolled the forum searching for experiences with these sites, but I'm really interested in recent experiences (last 2 months).

SolidLoad.

1. Very fast
2. Very fast
3. Just like guaranteed.
4. No.

Solidload is in burst
site5 is in NAC
hostrocket has there own IDC i think.


For uptime and such, research threw those.

I'm seriously looking in to Solid Load and GearHost right now. GearHost has higher prices, but seems to have better service and more support, and I LOVE that control panel.

I might get an account at Solid Load, and if I ever start making money, get another one at GearHost too, just for the extra features and support (I'd host the serious site there, and the other site somewhere else.)

Gearhost looks good but there guarante is a bit just not right.

Okay.. so far I have not chosen for Hostrocket (too many bad experiences with support). GearHost I have looked into, but they are very new and they don't offer *nix (I need *nix). So I'm left choosing between SolidLoad and Site5, I think I'll email both with my requirements and explain them what kind of site I will host and see what they come up with... thanks for the replies :)
