View Full Version : Need quality, reliable hosting for vital site.
dsainternet 10-05-2002, 06:42 PM I asked this question in the Web Hosting area, but I think you guys are more likely to be of help. Since I am a reseller, and am seeking the advice of resellers, I believe this post is topical.
I have a reseller account with another company, but want to establish a separate account for an ecommerce project I've done.
Can you point me toward some of the bigger, more established single domain hosts that you could recommend? I would rather not go with a really new company, and I'd like to spend $10-15/mo. if I can get good service for that.
Thanks
dsainternet 10-05-2002, 06:45 PM I suppose you'd like to know more specifics...
Reliability and company stability is more important than loads of bandwidth. As long as it's reasonable for a small ecom site, I'm not worried about it. I do need CGI and the ability to install SSL.
Thanks again,
smidwap 10-05-2002, 06:47 PM What do you consider bigger, more established? I'm not sure how big some of these companies are, but you can check out www.flohost.com and www.httpme.com . Also, how much are you looking for for $10-15? You can't really get too much for that little.
Hope this helps.
dsainternet 10-05-2002, 06:56 PM httpme.com is for reseller accounts only. As for the FloHost, the plan I would use is only $5/mo, which seems too cheap to be quality service.
It seems like you could get some pretty good single domain plans for $10-15 after all the $2.95/mo crap I've seen.
dsainternet 10-05-2002, 09:54 PM I'm leaning toward Media Temple, has anyone experienced anything negative from them?
diederik 10-06-2002, 11:08 AM David, take a look at site5.com and venturesonline.com
Incognito 10-06-2002, 05:43 PM You say
Need quality, reliable hosting for vital site.
Then you say
I'd like to spend $10-15/mo
Just how vital is the site? How much will downtime cost you? You make it sound very vital and important, but then you say you only want to spend $10-15/month.
That's like saying good, reliable transportation is important to me, but I only want to spend $500 on a car. I'm not saying you can't get good hosting for your price, just if the site is that vital, I would think saving dollars on hosting would be the least of your thoughts.
shahed 12-04-2002, 12:23 AM ok I also have 2 accounts with Mchost and Matrix. Now my e-commerce site http://bdbazar.com is so slow that I'm loosing money. Need to move it to a better reliable server.

Checkout http://HostNexus.com for a reseller account that uses Rackspace.

Hey thats true man, my site is rocking now. I have to say Matrix has proved that you can get quality service with a low fee.
what I am happy about Matrix :
1) Good customer support
2) Email is stable
2) Uptime is good.

Vortech 12-10-2002, 01:32 AM matrixreseller.com :)
GlideTech 12-10-2002, 02:09 AM He said he needs a single shared account.. not reseller ;)
Vortech 12-10-2002, 02:15 AM Maybe you missed this part "what is the website of matrix?" ;) ;)
I was just letting him know.. hehe
GlideTech 12-10-2002, 02:27 AM Sorry Vortech..... Was actually referring to this post by Mr. AussieBob.

Vortech 12-10-2002, 02:37 AM GlideTech sorry about that.. :) You said reseller and I had just posted the site as he was asking.. hehe
Ok going to bed now getting sleep.. :) H-Sphere has driven me nuts for yet anther day...
I'd probably lean towards VenturesOnline also, but Media Temple sure do have a good standing in the design community
