I am in the process of finding a host for a small website for the company I work for. The 2 hosts that I have found that offer the features I am looking for are

splicehost.com

and

alivehost.com

I have searched the forums for the host, but only one thread and not info from that. Any comments would be appreciated.

Never heard of them.

I tried searching for both of them on Google, but came up with nothing.

Try hostsearch.com and see if you can find any ratings there...

Never heard of them either, however as stated above they arent listed into google, which means they are either a: new, or b: not listed in google lol

Also i see SpliceHost offers the big Unlimited Bandwidth for all of their plans, that right there would tell me not to go with them. There is no such thing as unlimited, and they are lying to you :)

Try a search on this froum:)

I think they meant a search for "unlimited" not sure though...

I would imagine he means
Splash Host
and
Alivewww or Alive Uk whatever they call themselves these days.

Why would he mean what he didn't say?
http://splicehost.com/ is a valid company, as is http://alivehost.com These are what he asked about. Not splashhost or alivewww

Nothing escapes them damn gooblebots. They must be new and google hasn't indexed 'em yet. :)

I did a search on this site and only came up with Splicehost, which had a nuetral to positive review. My concern isn't bandwidth, as the site is for a specific audience in our area. I know that many hosts advertise "unlimited" bandwidth and then cut you off, or charge you outrageous fees if you go over a limit. The page I am looking to host is primarily text, a few images and some simple tables.

I am looking for anyone with experience with either hosting company. I just want to know if they are legit, and not some company that changes names every other month to attract unsuspecting customers.

Here's an idea - post your request into the "Request's" section of this forum and stipulate that you'd like a host who's been in business for "X" amount of time and you want references too.

I think that you`ll find that Alivehost.com is a completely different company from UKAlive (aka Alivewww.com) so you might even receive a decent level of service - which has NOT been my experience of Alivewww.com !

Don`t confuse the two companies, its a bit unfortunate that the US company have chosen a very similar name to their UK competitors.

I`ve had NO experience of the American company so you are on your own there...

Mister X,

Alivewww areseemingly improving -

1 the forums are back,
2 uptime is at 99.xx% forthethird week running
3 they've taken on a temporary member of staff
4 they're trying reallyhard to respond to customer wishlists and problems.

I've been the first to moan, but at the minute, things are seeemingly better at Alivewww/Ukalive than many other hosts.

No affiliation,

Bloory

Most of there problems with uptime seem to be related to a customer/ex-customer abusing the system. This has now been stopped.

You should post what you are looking for in the ads section of this forum and see what offers pop up.

Isn't that the truth! You would be suprised at some of the things I've found on there, credit cards someone had stored in text in a sub dir of their site, open backends to systems, tons of other little things that shouldn't be indexed.
