What type of hosting package are you guys using? Free, Shared, VPS, Dedicated, etc?

Hey everyone ;)

I'm Amy and Jon asked me to help out with any hosting questions around the place. The last thing I want to do is appear contrived, so rather than discussing the plans we have, hit me up with any questions and I'll be happy to do my best to answer them.
 


Shared reseller account on resellerzoom.

Been using it since oct. 06 and have only had one downtime when a database server needed a reboot or something.

I like it because I can set up multiple domains very easly.

Currently using iHosty.Com, did some work for the owner so he cut me a decent deal on a reseller package...

Looking to switch though, the downtime is killing me, it constantly seems to be going offline for a few minutes at a time, and right now its been down for about an hour...

Anyone reccomend me a good reseller plan? currently im paying 8.99/Month for...Not sure, I cant get into my WHM since my hosting is down...

Its up at this 1 minute in time...
Im paying 8.99 a month for 5GB Disk/120GB Bandwith

Anyone have a more reliable reseller plan that is close to that, let me know please

You got to check out SiteGround, they have so many features it will make you cry. And their support is phenomenal!
My referral link is: www.siteground.com

Some of their 50,000 + clients have so many referrals they have free hosting for life!

It is more expensive, but, check it out. It might work for you. I'm not using reseller, but do have one site I started with them, and transfered another, cuz they were so good. They did it for me!

Haven't had any down time yet.

Hope that helps,
René
 
currently with a shared host + a reseller plan (not reselling)
planning to move everything to hostgator, I just got an account with them to test their services
I hope they're a good place to stay, I didn't find a lot of bad reviews on them
 
At the moment I'm using 2 shared packages, one on Hostgator and the other on Dreamhost. I think I'll move down the VPS road closer to the summer.
 
Well I'm at 3 dedicated servers right now but actually consolidating all to one reseller plan at Host Gator, will probably get another plan as a backup as well. Trying to avoid having to worry about managing any servers. I did a lot of eCommerce hosting and application development requiring different platforms that's been dying out as companies collapse.

Had 2 servers at EV1 and 1 at the Planet. Now they are merged. No big problems with either one of them. The host gator account seems fairly sturdy. I also have Exchange hosting with 1 and 1 that seems to be pretty flaky. Definitely not triple 9 hosting from them.

I also tried using Media Temples Grid Server solution for my last eCommerce launch. That resulted in the worst launch I've ever had. Pissed off people, pissed off customers and thousands of dollars lost with a lawsuit headed my way over it. They should put a big Beta sign over it. Lack of telling the customer issues they have as well as multiple issues. PHP, MySQL and SSL all had problems. Needless to say I don't reccomend them. Great idea, but it doesn't work.
 
smash,

Have you thought perhaps of a Managed Dedicated Server? Perhaps that would resolve the issues? vs a Reseller account that can be prone to more issues?

Essentially I had a managed dedicated server as I also paid for EZSM :: EasyServerManagement Inc. :: We Make Server Management Easy! to watch my boxes when I wasn't around. They applied all the patches to my Linux boxes. I took care of the windows box. At this point I only make a couple dollars a day from Internet Marketing and the hosting I do isn't over a couple hundred dollars a month. So to pay $700 a month in hosting isn't as smart as spending $20 and accomplishing the same thing (although I ran out of bandwidth last night!).

I'm looking into some managed VPS solutions. Hostforweb.com is a company that keeps showing up along with a few others. Does anyone have good recommendations for managed vps, as I am a tard when it comes to anything related to servers and the like.

I'd recommend a VPS plan with a2b2.com (VAserve Ltd)... Bought a VPS from them... and am so happy with the support and the site speed! Am all set to move my other domains to them!
