JustHost & ImHosted Speeds
Hello
i am changing my hosts from hostgator to the JustHost or ImHosted.
I am trying to buy shared hosting plan. I DO NOT want a video sharing website. My website will serve around 100-150 videos of each 5 mints duration.
I am confused about speed of these hosts.
My questions are
1. How can i check the speed of these hosts (JustHost) & (ImHosted). (Any sample file download will do)
2. How can i know which of these host has the fastest data transfer rate to my country. (PAKISTAN)
3. ImHosted says it has OC-192, JustHost says it has OC-96. But how to confirm it?
I am inclined towards JustHost as they are way cheaper than ImHosted. But i am also concerned about speed. Will a OC-96 connection(JustHost) will serve a 5mint video well.?
Regards.

Personally my advice is to stay with HostGator - is there a particular reason why you're wanting to move away besides price?

yes! price is the issue. No doubt hostgator support/service is excellent. but i cant afford $134 annually.
thats why. JustHost takes $70 for 2 years. All the feautures of hostgator included. but i dont know about service/support.

I too would recommend that you stay with hostgator.. you won't find a better one for a site like yours...
And yes its true that what you pay for is what you get... surely you will get cheap hosting from other two but won't get other things which hostgator offers.

Why don't you contact those hosts and ask them for download test files? I highly doubt anyone here will have one for you. I would also recommend you stick with HostGator, moving from them to the hosts you've listed would be a downgrade. Paying 2 years in advance is not really a good idea either.

Well, you may think that you'll get almost the same features you get from hostgator for a cheaper price, but most of time the quality of service is lesser. Try to see all the pros and cons before you actually move to a different host.

I think better if you stay with Hostgator. And you can't expect high quality of service on cheaper webhosting.

Funny this numbers thing, isn't it?
Now, to prove that I didn't mean to sway you away from them, I'll let you know that there's a coupon out there that gives you a year of free hosting with them, "templatemonster".
Good luck, and if you decide to go with them, come back and tell us how things go.

If you use that coupon you'll get a free domain name and 1 year free hosting, but, if you want to cancel the hosting before 1 year, they'll charge you $20 saying its for their domain registration charge.
After 1 year you'll have to pay around $88 per year!

Do not use ImHosted. Used them, had slow speeds, requested a refund, didn't get it, had to resolve it as a billing dispute. Just...don't use them. You can find something better, I'm sure.

@Thanks all for suggestions.
I've changed my mind and planning to stick with hostgator (collecting some more money). Really thanks for useful tips.
By the way, what is this OC-96 and OC-192 ?
Regards.

You are welcome mate. That is why WHT is great!!
May be that help you to avoid severe head aches in future. Also IMHO never change a host which provide satisfactory services unless there is unavoidable circumstances. I know price is a concern; but if you get peace for the extra money try to continue with them as much as possible.
