Hello....I am searching for a new host and came down to the following providers..Here are my conclusions..

Also, I checked each domain at this site: http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi to see if they were on any anti-spam sites..Here are the results...

http://www.totallyhosted.net ...Not listed on any anti-spam lists....

http://www.hostmatters....could not meet requirements..

http://www.hostpacket.net/ ....blocklisted on one anti-spam site... talked to person via live tech support and when I asked about my requirements, this was the response "we don't need a picky customer like this..goodbye"...so, they basically are jerks anyways..

http://www.alphaomegahosting.com/ ...blocklisted on one anti-spam site...

http://www.site5.com/ ...Not listed on any anti-spam lists....

http://www.dominet.net/ ....blocklisted on two anti-spam site..never returned emails either

http://www.venturesonline.com/ ..can't meet reqs...

So, basically, I am down to these two:
http://www.totallyhosted.net
http://www.site5.com/

Opinions of these two? Any other good hosts I could check into?

Thanks

Site5 is good.


http://www.hostpacket.net/
http://www.alphaomegahosting.com/

are good too. Mostly hosts can control this. If i were a reseller and hosted a spammer site without knowing the fact or used a code which could easily be spammed...the manin balme may not go the host itself...but if the good hosts find out that they are black listed and still do not take appropriate action, then it sounds strange...:)

Do a search here using the search button up top on the host you are considering.

You will find some users experience with them here.

alphaomega has my vote! :-) I've talked with some of their clients who love their service, so you have something going for you! :-)

I can fully recommend http://www.dixiesys.com And about totallyhosted - Havn't you read at least one message about the scam they are?

I must say, I have been extremely happy with AlphaOmegaHosting since I signed up several months ago. I don't do too much traffic though. :cool:
