Hello everyone,

I'm currenly looking for hosting, and i've heard of a few hosts..so decided to find out if anyone has heard of/or used the following hosts.

www.mediatemple.net
www.dot5hosting.com
www.imhosted.com
www.aplus.net

Please feel free to give me some suggestions :) actually, id really appreciate it! Thanks

Try using the search feature..

dot5hosting has had some recommendations around here.

From what I have seen all those seem to be pretty decent choices.

I'm currently with imhosted for a website I own. They are a very good host all in all however there support may seem a bit lacking. Anytimes that I've emailed them after support (and it is usually installing php) it would take them up to a day to reply to my email.

As for the installing php, well basically its not much help if your just out to learn php. I tried installing Invision Boards, PHPBB forums, shoutboxs and a piel of other scripts, and it usualy comes up on the installation page an error connecting to the mySQL or something. I dunno if its just my small knowledge of php but i find it a slight problem. (When I do email imhosted about the problem, they just go ahead and install it for me, without telling me how they did it.)

My friend had a small problem with support one time, and had to wait for up to 2 weeks to get a domain name registered. Imhosted said it was a problem with their email support and he got extra space in return.

Btw, if your after support, don't bother adding there SN on AIM, because nobody is ever online.

Isn't the forum search such a nice thing! Sorry if this doesn't help your day but the truth is always the best. :)

THANK YOU! Actually, I had read some "not so good things"about ImHosted.com, but they're prices seemed so good I was hoping someone would tell me good stuff about them. Unfortunately so far it's mostly negative :( Oh well! But seriously, thank you so much for your comment :) Actually, im kinda leaning towards dot5hosting.com

I don't have any first hand experience with those hosts. I was using HostSave and had problems with the lack of support, no MySQL capabilities. I moved a little over a month ago to
http://www.digitalxweb.net

You should check them out. I agonized over who to go with, but have no regrets whatsoever.

Good luck in your search.

Thank you all for your response! :) I've narrowed my choices to either www.mediatemple.net or www.dot5hosting.com; Any comments on either? Maybe someone who's had experience with etiher of these hosts could help me out with some insight of their customer service, reliabitlity,etc. Thanks!
