I'm looking for a good php, mysql, perl cgi, 30+ MB host, and ran across WizardHosting.com. Any experience with them...specifically bad experiences? I just don't want to get burned with a lack of support, and a bundle of downtime problems.

I haven't dealt with them personally, but on this board, they have been very helpful in answering questions. I think they also designed VDI.net's new control panel. They would be a fine choice.
Happy Holidays!

The owner of wizardhosting is a regular on this board. He seems, like a great guy.

Denete,

I can guarantee you that you will NOT be burned due to lack of tech support... not at WizardsHosting. Carlos (the owner I believe) is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, especially in this industry.

WH is extremely dedicated to their customers. This should be quite evident in the fact that Carlos was hired by VDI to do their Cpanel/WHM/Website designs. Carlos is excellent with computers, and more importantly with people. This is a good honest company, I know from experience. I also happen to know that WH has a top-notch billing system in place for their hosting customers (shame on me! :emlaugh: ).

At any rate, WH would be an excellent choice for a webhost. I'm positive that you will be more than happy there.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Matt

OK, it sounds like a good hosting company...but what about technical problems. Today I can't get any dns references to wizardshosting.com. Hmmmmm...where have they gone?

Carlos is one of the very refreshingly honest ppl I've talked to and I appreciate his friendliness and candour. You should have absolutely no problems with him.



P.S. Do I need to say anything else Carlos? Hahahahaha j/k :D

...customer service. My decision came down to two companies, HostRocket, and WizardsHosting. With HostRocket I get 200MB storage and 10GB transfer. WizardsHosting only gives me 100MB storage and 3GB transfer for the same price...less the 9.95 setup fee from HostRocket (everything else is about the same). I'm not sure how much traffic I will see, so I'm going on reputation of customer service and responsiveness to inquiries. Thanks to Carlos, WizardsHosting wins this one.

Hehe.....Carlos was the first to email me from here after I finally signed up here a few days. He's definitly on top of his game and knows what he's doing. Not to mention he offered me one helluva deal that no-one has yet to beat (-:
