Could I get a Tech Ping List bump for this thread please.
Thanks,
http://www.hostmysite.com/ has been good for me going on 12 years.
I use dreamhost. On the plus side it is cheap for virtually unlimited storage and bandwidth. On the minus side their network can go down inexplicably.
They are all thieves and susceptible to hacking. I use Godaddy still, but also moniker.com and ixwebhosting which gives you 15 free ip addresses.
For email, you can try messagelabs.
I’ve been on 1and1.com for about 8 years. Not the best first-line customer service (offshore mixed with local). But for the money they’re WAY better than nickel&dime GoDaddy for email count, storage. I haven’t used the 3000 emails you get with it.
hostmonster.com
I’d go with a “Reagan.com” address host....
I’ve used lunarpages for my domain hosting for quite a few years. On line support (rarely needed) is very good.
http://hostmonster.com Great service.
My third or fourth hosting company, am perfectly happy with http://www.bluehost.com/ .
Low cost, unlimited email addresses, additional sites at no extra charge, templates if you like plus more.
Bump for later.
Outlook.com
or Office365 for email.
Can I recommend eroute.net - Good experiences with them!
Don’t laugh, I have a couple businesses and have been very happy with FatCow.com.
Their customer service is outstanding and you never have to hold or get transferred to another IT person.
You get a lot for your pennies and the site is never down. The e-mail will push to any device, or other address. FatCow’s e-mail is web-based and primitive but nobody uses it as we all push it to another smartphone or a Gmail account.
I don’t know if you can beat their hosting prices. IMO, avoid Network Solutions, GoDaddy, and the big players unless they match the second tier names in pricing and features.
Email for my business is more important than the actual website so when email fails to work correctly it means serious problems for me and my customers and vendors. Having gone through multiple “providers” from 1999 to 2005, I found “H-Sphere” clustered server providers employing H Sphere technology. Instead of a server performing all functions (DNS, Email, WWW and database functions) email is handled by separate discreet servers. Database functions on a separate server or servers, WWW on separate server or servers, DNS and control panel functions on a separate server or servers. There are quite a few providers offering H Sphere technology so search H Sphere providers. I’ve been with the same provider now for 7 years (jodohost.com). It’s nice being able to find a company you can stick with because moving everything to another provider is a PITA.
