View Full Version : What company is best for me?
Torith 12-20-2005, 06:06 PM Now I am very picky when it comes to pick a hosting company. I am looking at spending $40.00 to $50.00 per month.
Company has to be in business for over a year better if over 2 years.
Company has to allow over selling
Company has to have a good reputation
Company has to have good support
Company has cPanel and DA
Uptime is a must
Speed is a must
Has more then email for support as in phone support if server goes down, etc.
Any company matches what I am looking for?
NetLineHost 12-20-2005, 09:30 PM Wow, you know what you're looking for. That's a great thing, as many people just go through and pick. You can try the link on the top named "Find a Host" and get some quotes. You forgot to say the specs on the account you need. How much space and bandwidth do you need?
Good luck,
Roman
I would recommend searching for reviews.
Also, what is your budget?
I find it excellent you know what you want, but if you're on a low budget, you'll be hardpressed to find what you're looking for.
Jim_UK 12-21-2005, 12:37 AM Also, what is your budget?
The OP has already stated this:
I am looking at spending $40.00 to $50.00 per month.
Wow, I really can't believe I missed that. I don't remember that first line being there...
I think the lack of sleep is getting to me :)
sTag-Dan 12-21-2005, 01:29 AM It was there all along :P
AubreyI 12-21-2005, 02:26 AM It is pretty good.

Though I am not certain about overselling enabled - for cpanel reseller hosting, the best I have seen and spoken to are:
www.monsterhosting.ca
www.digitallyjustified.com
Certainly more expensive then some of your other options, but, they are both within your budget and have both proven themselves to be reliable.

Ecommerce
comes with designs, phone, email, and forum support, shopping cart, paypal intergration, ebay intergration, bandwidth never an issue.
Server is never down, and pages load fairly quickly.
Pricing starts at $24 a month, or $19 annualy.
Right now they are redesigning their website, but it should be up tomorrow, as what they said in an email sent to me

VanHost 12-21-2005, 03:57 PM Thanks for the note Cartika, much appreciated. I just wanted to touch based on a couple points, as it is important for the thread starter to note them:
- we do not provide Direct Admin as a control panel
- we generally (not 100% of the time) only permit overselling of bandwidth, not disk space. If you can prove to us that you are not creating/selling packages that are the standard "$1 for the world", we usually are okay with it.
- we currently only provide helpdesk ticket support at this time. However, it is important to know, that we have 2 different DC locations and a server dedicated to the helpdesk. The odds that multiple servers and the network and both locations go down at the same time, are in our favour :)
Other than that, what people are saying about us is all true :D
Aussie Bob 12-21-2005, 10:23 PM . . . Company has cPanel and DA
Do you want Cpanel + DA, or just either one?

Except for the whole donkey clown incident. That was just a vicious rumour. :D
ironfistguy 12-21-2005, 11:25 PM Idcdc, could you clarify your post?
Idcdc, could you clarify your post?
He asking for the domain name you are hosting with them, so he can check to make sure your a customer.
ironfistguy 12-21-2005, 11:44 PM The domain I am hosting there is qualcollmore4u.com...But orders are suspended due to my vacation I will be taking this week.
ironfistguy 12-21-2005, 11:47 PM sorry, bad url in original post
estore4less.com
VanHost 12-22-2005, 01:43 AM Except for the whole donkey clown incident. That was just a vicious rumour. :D
Actually, the donkey walks the pin wheel that powers our servers and the clown keeps it amused during the wee hours of the night to ensure reliability ;)
ldcdc 12-22-2005, 02:23 AM ironfistguy, thank you for all the info and corrections!

Shaw Networks 12-22-2005, 03:22 AM He did correct the domain. ;)
Even so, estore4less.com was registered yesterday, December 20th, 2005.
ldcdc 12-22-2005, 12:12 PM Even so, estore4less.com was registered yesterday, December 20th, 2005.How did I miss that? :eek:
ironfistguy 12-22-2005, 01:17 PM it was originally a personal hosting service, but they have added a site recently
BF-Gary 12-22-2005, 01:36 PM it was originally a personal hosting service, but they have added a site recently
So let's recap here:
1. You bought hosting from estore4less.com that opened on the 20th.
2. You then raced to WHT to become a member on the 21st.
3. Then you started to recommend them to others on the 21st.
If your one day experience with them has been good then we are all glad to hear it. You will have to admit though that the above sure seems weird.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck your probably safe to assume it is a duck.
Just my thoughts.
ldcdc 12-22-2005, 02:31 PM MH-Gary, nice recap. :)
it was originally a personal hosting service, but they have added a site recentlyI don't follow... That domain did not even exist prior to 20 dec 2005. Please explain.
Torith 12-22-2005, 09:33 PM Do you want Cpanel + DA, or just either one?
Well one or another. Would be nice if the host did offer both, but I know that is hard to find.
cachettech 12-23-2005, 08:47 PM what are the specifications of a reseller account you are looking for ? i mean space, bandwidth etc ?
cunning 12-24-2005, 10:15 AM Torith,
Whom have you considered going with, seeing your post count I feel you must have taken a qise decision or your hunt is still on...
NeoGen 12-24-2005, 11:11 AM How did I miss that? :eek:
because of too much :beer: :nuts:
Torith:
Some of the best names that I have witnessed here at WHT are:
www.sonataweb.net (Using their services for past 13 months)
www.clook.net
www.kualo.com
Wish you all the best in your host hunt!
Torith 12-25-2005, 07:29 PM Well I am still looking over a few hosts that would fit my needs. One of course is http://www.digitallyjustified.com . We are looking over reviews from WebHostingTalk.com as well over the Internet from Google.com and Yahoo.com. I strive to find a host that will fit my needs and willing to pay what they are worth.
Torith,

If the OP is willing to look outside of cPanel/DA - they might want to look at CartikaHosting.com. Andrew and crew run a tight ship :)
layer0 12-25-2005, 11:45 PM Torith,
Many hosts that you find at WHT probably will either a) not last very long b) show massive dieteration in quality as times passes by c) not meet your needs.
With that said, there are a few hosts out there (at WHT specifically) that can cater to your needs, perfectly.. (with the exception of the 'and DA' part, not many hosts offer two control panel options) I would suggest looking for a company that bases their ethics off of pure honesty and integrity. Examples of these companies would be ASmallOrange, Dotable, HTTPMe, and a few others - who you will likely find while scouring through the many hosts here at WHT (which many of are simply high schoolers who think they know what they're doing, so be careful).
Best of luck on your search. I know you'll definitely be able to find a good host.
