finding a good web host
Drifter asked:


For every webhost there are complains for lies (unlimited space and bandwidth) or sites not being online or slow.

Plus: you don’t know what to believe when you read the forums because they own them, they post the good comments and their rivals post the bad comments
“Take you” what the heck are you talking about kid? That’s how you become a top contributor, you answer without thinking.

And did you know Roswell was a hoax?
And 9/11 never really happened?

They are not Microsoft, so the generalization is, they are not trying to steal your money. Who would have guessed it right?

Do us a favor, go crawl back in your hole.

Q - do all the OTHER sites giving the hosting a good review, those must be lies right?
A- No

I don’t know, I’ve used 2mhost for a few years and they’ve never been down. I don’t think I have unlimited space/bandwidth, so I don’t know if it would suit your needs, but they may have other packages. I got it because it was cheap cheap cheap!

I use

They claim unlimited space and transfer, and up till now have been able to provide, my site takes several GB. And our server almost ran out of space, then it suddenly doubled. The idea of unlimited is that they will supply an unlimited amount of upgrades to support your needs. Not necessarily that the hard disk in the server has unlimited space.

Every web host has occasional problems, at least on some of their servers, and since big hosts have hundreds of thousands of customers with hundreds of thousands of websites, there has to be a lot of complaints.

Example:

I use Dreamhost. I’ve been using them for over 2 years, and I currently have over 20 sites on a single account. So far they’ve been great. They host over 600,000 websites, and even if just 1% of customers had some problems with their website that would mean over 6,000 possible complaints.

What do I recommend?

If you want to spend up to $10/month you have a choice of hundreds of shared hosting plans.
I recommend Dreamhost

Their standard price is $9.95/month ($119.40/year)
but you can use the promo code PLUS and get
$50 discount +2 Free domain names.

Disk space: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
2 Free domain names
Unlimited domains and subdomains
Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)

If you are willing to spend $20+/month I recommend:
It’s a VPS hosting with plans starting from $20/month
They were recently acquired by Rackspace which is great for a dedicated hosting

the webhost speed maybe slow to someone but fast to you.
Because speed is determined by the locations of the users and their internet speed.
what i suggest is to select the nearest webhost company to you.
If you are in us. i’d recommend Hostgator for it is more reliable than Justhost.
after running with hostgator for a few months and had zero downtime and the forum and blog and email have been very fast. We’re sure that hostgator is very fast and stable web hosting provider.
