We checked out around 25 companies on shared hosting, after unbelievable problems with our last host, Apollo Hosting, which is not longer in business, as Endurance International, Inc. took over the name and their accounts last week.
We were most impressed with Hostgator, and their many good reviews, some bad, but no host is perfection.
We had thought about going with VPS and decided that we wanted for now to stay with shared hosting plan.
Hopefully all will go well. They do ask for ratings on how your help requests are handled, and speaking plainly, how could they be worse that what we left, a web host that deleted our entire website in error? That has to be the ultimate nightmare.
So I guess as long as Hostgator does not run a corrupt script like Apollo did and delete our website, we are off and running!
