The best Web Host

Planning to move to Site5 this month, but since the last 6 months had no problems with using the hostgator reseller account.
 


Personally I have had no problems with Hostgator, but I will say their support seems to be handled by morons. Luckily I only had to use it maybe once.

But let's be fair, and real here. Shared hosting can really suck. I don't care whom you go through. It seems for the most part someone will have a horror story for shared host.

Look, it's fucking shared hosting, its super cheap, what the fuck do you want? If you don't like it go out and get a VPS or Dedi. Or you can keep bouncing around shared hosting hoping to get lucky and get on a server NOT full of asshats.

Just saying.
 
1and1 is what I use other then the mad slow interface, I have seen no unexpected down time. But be careful when you look at buying domains because you can't transfer them for 2 months.
 
Stay away from Dreamhost, those bastards are getting worse every day, your site will be down, the will charge you for 2 years with no previous warning and their support is bad. You can get a cheap VPS for $15/mo if you have a lot of blogs, there's a lot of good deals in webhostingtalk forum.
 
I have had excellent service and quality with Bluehost, so far no problems what so ever.

No downtime reported so far, great customer service. Lots and lots of features compared to Lunarpages (another host I use).

I think I might try Rackspace too. Bluehost is great though.
 
So I guess the best runners according to most votes are: Hostmonster - Hostgator - Bluehost and Midphase ...
 
I'm on Inno right now and so far they seem to have very adequate speeds for shared. I also have accounts with Hostgator and HostNine which I will soon be terminating due to lack of performance (especially in the case with HostNine's continuous downtime).

Run far away from Site5 - I hated their lack of service. It took them a week to set my account up. They made some excuses about not having a server available or something like that so I promptly cancelled once I got more pathetic excuses.

HostGator is actually a total nightmare.

If you use HostGator and don't have any problems, you're likely not checking your websites very often

Stay away from that banana garden of freaks. too busy to do their job, fu*ed-up billing, retarded support etc. Take something smaller and humane like Uberhost for example. In fact - they don't sleep at all (I don't know how they do it) - California based good old american service.
 
Obviously not BlueHost...

Seems like every Saturday morning around 10 for me, they take the servers down for up to 3 hours.
 
if you use hostgator, and you are happy with their service, you must be on their 'baby croc of shit' $1 a month package, and your site gets like 3 page views a month. Everyone else is pulling their fucking hair out and trying to get hostgator to stop billing their credit cards illegally. Worst host *in the world*
