While waiting (and waiting) for gearhost to offer nix accounts I came across www.hostfish.com Anyone using them?
They also offer unlimited domains on the one cheap account.
Each domain has it's own CP control panel and they offer unlimited MySql databases while I think Gearhost have a total of 4. (That could be a problem)
The downside is space and bandwidth are much less than Gearhost, their site is crummy looking and their demo control panel is really slow to load.
Any feedback?

Their server has all the power of an Intel 400 processor... what more could you want?? :D

And their server has a whole 250 megs of ram.
Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I just would like to say that Hostfish is an excellent service. I am using it to host a number of small client sites and the service I receive is nothing short of excellent. I get timely responses and they go above and beyond to make sure any issues are dealt with swiftly.
I would highly recommend them as a hosting solution.

How is their speed gloryzone? Could you give us an URL or two to see how fast they load?
I am tempted. I sent them several sales questions and got well written polite answers within 10 or 15 minutes each time.

Lucifer, please take note that gloryzone's own site, http://gloryzone.com/ is hosted on PHPWebHosting
Which isn't to say he doesn't have any sites with hostfish, but if they are so good, why wouldn't he have his hosted there?
Just be careful with your choice :)

One of my buddies told me about this tread. Im no guru, but I've been using Hostfish for about six months. It's a great service! I'm a professional cartoonist, I have a site that is very heavy with graphics, and I've had nothing but compliments from people telling me how fast the site loads. See for yourself. www.chazchapman.com
They have a 30 day money back guarantee so I suggest trying them.

Thanks Chaz. That does load fast. Nice cartoons too. I have bookmarked your site in case a client wants something illustrated.

The reason you see my site listed on phpwebhosting is because I am redesigning my site. If you go to http://gloryzone.gzws.com you will see that is where the site is being redesigned
You can go to www.gzws.com to test the speed of my site or some clients I am working on right now like http://ddi.gzws.com
I have been with Hostfish for about 2 months...(Christmas) and again I am very pleased with the speed, performance and service I receive.
So Relyc, that is the explanation for your skepticism.
I didnt make the full move, just in case some sales trickle thru, I still have my merchant account ready to process sales.
Hope this helps
