I've been using reseller hosting providers for a few years now and have not found one that has provided decent speeds, reliability, and reasonable load balancing. I only run 8-10 websites [2 os-commerce sites] with some databases, but none get really heavy traffic.

I keep getting disappointed with the server load and speeds of the servers I'm with. They all start out fast, but then bog down, etc... I've read really strong things about lightningservers.net and iWeb.com.

Does anybody have thoughts on these two companies? I've already been through modwest, hostgator, hostnine, resellerzoom, and crucialparadigm. I'm not trying to trash any of these companies, their customer support has been great from all of them, some better than others.

I'm just trying to provide a reliable website hosting environment for my customers.

Please help.

Thanks,
Bob

iWeb seems like a better choice.. Moreover, I've never heard of LightningServers.net before..

This are just my opinions.

Hello net, I've said those are just my opinions. And 99.7% uptime is stated on the site, not by me.

I am not sure about LightningServers.net, but I did some management tasks for one customer who has server in iweb. However, he seems not very happy with iweb. Just waiting for his contract end, then moving out.

Do you know why they're not real happy with them?

I think Iweb main service is dedicated server.
Their headquarter is in Canada.
You can find some reviews of their service by searching on WHT.

I would say go with the one that oversell less.
