[sudhirmangla]

Form last 2 days I have gone through lot of reviews for shared web hosting. Now I am closed down to 2 best web host I found based on reviews. i.e.

iMountain and MediaLayer
I have not read any negative comment about both the web host.

I am going to host WordPress and expecting nearly 2000 users daily on week days.

Can some one suggrest if I should go for MediaLayer or iMountain.

The plans I am considering are SolarCluster 1 Starter from iMountain or Applayer DX from MediaLayer.

Kindly help me in making the right decision.

Thats what I am saying I have to read any negative comment for either Medialayer or about iMountain

They offer 2 completely different types of services. Do you need something clustered or shared?

I "think" they would both be classified as shared.

both have solid, well earned reputations.

Medialayer is more of a premium application host. If your budget can accommodate and performance is really important to you, this is probably where you should end up.

Oh yes, now I read it correctly

I thought you had read some negative reviews about both hosts. I have read some 'negative' reviews about iMountain (I am myself a customer and experienced downtimes), but not negative reviews about Medialayer.

I think you can not go wrong selecting either provider. Medialayer seems to have better infrastructure based on network redundancy, backups (r1soft CDP) etc.

MediaLayer will provide just what you need.
