I thought I would do a review of some of the web hosts that I have used or am using over the last year or so.
I'll start off by talking about the 3 webhosts i currently am using.
1. Lunarpages (regular shared hosting account).
2. HostingZoom (regular shared hosing account)
3. Hostgator (Reseller Account)
Lunarpages:
I have had a shared account with Lunarpages since early July.
Positives: Of the different webhosts I have used, they seem to keep php, and other software the most up to date (on the elara server). A webhost that uses older versions of software that have security issues makes me nervous. Another positive of Lunarpages was the free "Coffeecup" software.
Negatives: I really wanted to like Lunarpages when i signed up with them. Of all the hosts I have used in the last few years, the Lunarpages server I'm currently on is down the most. In fact, I currently use my space there just for testing out software (like Joomla) and setting up demos for my current web design clients to learn on (they can learn on the demos as opposed to messing up their live sites!). The server generally has some issue at least ever couple of days were the site is unreachable (either a hight server load and everything times out) or some other issues....

I have designed my own site using iWeb but don't want to publish it to .mac. I have my own domain name. If I use a host that is not .mac I lose some of the features that i have in the site at the moment, e.g, counters etc. Is it possible to find a host for this mac designed site where I can add counters and other features. I have used the iWeb design as I found it very user friendly, where a lot of the other hosting sites were complicated and you also had to subscribe before you could see what your site looked like. I also like the iweb templates.

I will get either shared(baby or business) or reseller(Aluminum) from Hostgator but which one is better for me? I will never resell but I will make lots of websites though none of them will probably get too much trafic. If I get shared baby/business, can I host many small websites and control them efficiently? Are all my websites gonna have different directories?

HostGator is offering unlimited disk space, bandwidth and domains in shared hosting BABY Package.
Does it mean i can host 10 domains in baby plan and each site is eating + 200gb per month.
Does 10 Domains hosting in this account mean that they will host using addon technology?
What role dedicate IP will play for my websites?
If my domain registrar is different but my host is hostgator then will this plan will work for me or do i need to transfer all the 10 domains to hostgator?

They both have plans starting at $5 USD / month. One thing that concerns me is, Hostgator seems to provide more that Downtown host:
- 350gb disk space
- 3,000gb bandwidth
Downtownhost:
- 5gb disk space
- 100gb bandwidth
For the price of roughly $5 USD. Why is there such a difference with the two? Does this mean Hostgator is better off?

Been doing a lot of reading the last 2 days before posting. The popular host atm for "affordable" hosting seems to be Hostgator, however it seems there might be an issue with them and the shopping cart I use.
See the dialog below and please let me know any alternatives that will not have the same issue (other than CyberLNC, $20-$30 a month seems steep for an average hosting account with very little bandwidth or storage). My cart contains a lot of large images and while I dont need unlimited storage/bandwidth, I do need some.
(12:02:39 AM) Tirade: Here is the comment I found. "Hosting - Be careful of the permission limits that some host providers have. CS-Cart recommends a setting of 777. I have just moved from Hostgator to CyberLNC as Hostgator could only use a setting of 755 - whilst there is documentiation to show that it should work, I was receiving 500 server errors and my payment gateway wouldn't work. I'm a big fan of Hostgator, their service is excellent, but they just weren't configured for CS-Cart unfortunately and I had to move."
(12:05:38 AM) Davon Da: There are many scripts which state that 777 permissions are needed, but since we due use a suExec envoirment, 777 files are not allowed
The hosting requirements (other than the ability to set permission limits to 777), would be speed, mysql, php5, and price.

As far as hosts, ive been through hostgator which sucked.. not for the hostings in the fact i barely had any downtime, but for the outa nowhere ban/support they have. So i left that.. If they had better support id stick with them.
Moved on to nakedhosting... that site gets fustrating because every early morning their servers slow/stop for about 4 or 5 hours then back to normal.. their support sucks! Only tech support is ever online for live chat and ive only received a reply once from their ticket system outa the 4 times i tried getting support. Honestly i think theirs about 4 or 5 people running that site because i pretty much talk to the same guy on live chat everytime.. on top of that, everyones gone after 8pm+.. really, you wont get live chat or ticket support.. which further leads me to believe they have a small room of servers which 4 or 5 people run. Probably a family business who knows.. Dont pay attention to their 99% up time, most flat out lie.. but if your record your down times you do get a discount if you convince them its their fault..
anyway im looking for a reliable VPS host that does have decent support and uptime. Im not one to make alot of mistakes that need support, at most maybe 1 or 2 every couple months but most of the time i dont.. i just want a host that will be their when i do have one.
Price isnt an issue. Also it would be great if i could pay with paypal. Not a needed but would help start me off since i have to wait 3-4 days till it hits my account.

Last week my brother puchased a CD which promised contains thousands of unique templates through [url]
He sell it locally for Indonesia market and leave no contact info.
He showed me and I'm surprised that what did guy did is copied from all sources included templatesmonster.com majority which is available alot of through the net (example: [url]burn it into CD and sell it illegaly.
I reported the site to hostgator.com and got the followin reply:
---------------------------------------------
Hello,
Since there are no templates on the site, you will need to provide evidence of this some how.

I'm not trying to bash HG, but I need your opinion: is the HG respond is already correct?
So learn from the same thing, if I set a website sell cracked properties and only delivery the product through CD or email (not downloadble one) I can host it with HG as long as no offensive files in their server? Or in this case HG just ignore it because could not understand Indonesia languange?

I currently have a VPS with ubiquityservers .com. It's used for simple web serving as well as a proxy tunnel for playing games like Aion. (Without SSH socks proxying, ingame latency is about 800+ms. With proxy, it's about 280ms.) Since most companies charge about US$6 for the proxying service, it makes more sense for 7 of my friends to just buy a cheap and simple VPS to try.
I must admit that I'm pleasantly surprised with ubiquity. I placed an order for the server on Wed 3:41 AM (according to email) and server was already up and running by Wed 5:16 AM.
I created my first ticket about login issues (it happens, so I don't blame them) at 8:36 AM and got the response in 2 minutes. WTF? I've never seen this kind of ridiculously fast response time, not with LayeredTech, PacificRack or iWeb (they are good hosts nevertheless). Maybe the techs just happen to be looking at my ticket first by chance but it was very pleasing to me.
A week later, they got DDOSed. I emailed to ask about the connectivity at 1.06PM (I'm on GMT+8 so it's probably really late in their DC.). I got the response in 5 mins. O_O. I'm pleased with their response times once again. The whole issue got resolved quickly.
2 days back, I decided to be a little adventurous and out try OpenVPN. I contacted them for support as /dev/net/tun was not writable in the containers. After 2 mails, the request was forwarded to the VPS admins who promptly enabled it for my container.
I did some searching on their wiki and found that my 'baby vps' is being shared with 127 other containers. It's only $18 so there's nothing I can complain about.
I am writing this post because I feel that this host deserves a mention. If anyone wants to try out a VPS, do give them a shot.

I bought a vps with Ubiquity in the Los Angeles area for small game servers and I am very happy with it. I can tell that it is not oversold and the level of support I get is amazing. I called at 3 AM and had a question they picked up and were happy to help me. I would like to point out how much Michael has helped me with the vps. I asked him to change the container name and it was done within a few minutes.
Before I ordered there was an issue with the invoice and they resolved it very quickly.
There network is very fast and stable. I live about 60 miles form San Fransisco so the ping is very low. Around 23-25 MS as this is kind of expected.
Ubiquity is a great VPS provider and and I am very happy I choose them for my small game servers.
Keep it up Ubiquity

I needed a hosting provider that offers mono hosting and found Ubiquity Hosting. I signed up with their Shared Hosting service plan called Cleveroy. I chose the 12 months Price at $5.95 USD (Free Domain). This is one of two plans that do not have any setup fees of $20 USD.
According to their link (ubiquityhosting[dot]com/web-hosting/service/mysql) about MySQL that they provide it states:
"What can I do with MySQL?
When teamed with the other flagship hosting applications of the open source community we run including Secured Linux Server, Apache Web Server, and PHP, the possibilities of your web applications at Ubiquity Hosting Solutions are virtually limitless...."
The keywords here are "virtually limitless". By that, I assumed they allow stored procedures and triggers even in a shared environment. That was why I signed up.
Upon doing so I realised I am not allowed to use those features and therefore requested a refund.
They refunded a partial amount and that left me fuming. According to their TOS, it states:
"Every web hosting account with Ubiquity Hosting Solutions - excluding all dedicated servers - features a 45-day money back guarantee. If you choose to cancel your account within the first 45 days and notify us by sending an e-mail to support@ubiquityhosting.com. We will refund all routine account fees, exclusive of any set up or domain names fees. Accounts closed after 45 days do not qualify for refund of any pre-paid fees."
The plan I signed up for did not have a setup fee.
I would like to enquire with you guys whether I am entitled to get a full refund or a partial refund as per their TOS.

I signed up with Ubiquity hosting in June. I was looking for an unmanaged VPS solution, and I liked that they had a Chicago data center since Chicago is closest for me.
The server I'm hosting is fairly basic, just a personal server for use by myself and my family.
* apache, mysql
- used to host some personal web sites (a few WordPress blogs for family members, fan site for a band) that don't draw a lot of traffic -- averaging 700 hits/day, 226 Mb/day.
* sendmail & dovecot IMAP
- only 2 mail users including myself.
* nagios
- used to remotely monitor some servers at my day job.
Total bandwidth for August was 16 GB in / 6 GB out for August, so the bandwidth usage isn't intense.
Sales:
The guys at Ubiquity were great as far as the sales process goes. Very helpful, even switched the installed OS for me at no charge when I changed my mind on what OS I wanted.
Service/Support:
For the first few months, Ubiquity was great.
A few weeks ago (Sept. 9), I started having some problems. Most of the time, the server was just ridiculously sluggish. Apache, sendmail and IMAP connections would time out. Any commands typed at the command line took several seconds to respond. At first, Ubiquity said there was nothing wrong. Then they decided it was a problem with another user on the node running an IRC script. They said they warned the IRC script kid to knock it off, but performance never improved.
About a week later, the performance got even worse -- now, it was bad all the time, not just most of the time. Finally, on Sept. 17 Ubiquity says that some disks in the raid array my VPS is stored on failed. A week later, they've finished rebuilding 4 of the 11 disks in the array and the server is still unusable -- still getting timeouts on apache, sendmail and IMAP connections.
Support-wise, for me, having an unusable server for 2 weeks and counting is a deal-breaker. I'm already in the process of moving moving my server elsewhere (but I'm not done yet and have not requested cancellation yet, so Ubiquity guys, if you're reading, please don't pull a GeekStorage and just up and delete my stuff.)
The support from Ubiquity on the above described problems was inconsistent. When the problems first cropped up, as I said, they pretty much just said they didn't see any problems on the node, but could move me to another one. Then they changed the story to the IRC script explanation and just closed the ticket without any further explanation (for example, "so, at this time we won't move your VPS to another node."). I repeatedly asked whether the usage I described above was within the capabilities of their VPS solution, but never got an answer. At some times, I'd get quick responses in the middle of the night. Other times, questions went a day with no reply.
So, bottom-line, good sales process, and when things are working, they work well. But when things aren't working well, it seems Ubiquity isn't able to rectify them in a timely manner and/or reliably communicate with customers about the issue(s).
I'm now hosting with Future Hosting. I'll be back with a review of them in a few months.

I've had a Ubiquity dedicated server for 3 months now. I wasn't going to post a review for a couple more months but felt compelled to do so after reading another thread entitled "Ubiquity Servers Stay Away".
I experienced a similar situation to what the member (who posted the Stay Away thread) experienced with my initial server configuration. My server config was supposed to consist of an E6600, 2 GB RAM, and 250 GB HD. The server I was provisioned with had 1 GB RAM and a 160 GB HD. And like the member I had already invested quite a few hours configuring my server before noticing the problem. But this is where our similarities end. Because Ubiquity's support staff did almost everything possible to fix these problems and accommodate me. I was able to contact their support staff immediately via their Live Chat. When I told them that I had already spent valuable time configuring my server, they installed a 250 GB HD in addition to my existing 160 GB drive so that my configurations on the server would be preserved. When I found out that they did not have any compatible RAM in stock to add to my server, I insisted that I needed it within 2 days (I had a deadline to get the server configured for Xen and the RAM was crucial). Not only did they order the RAM with next day shipping, one of their support staff members (who lives 4 hours from Chicago) guaranteed me that if the RAM did not arrive in time, he would purchase it himself, drive to the DC, and install it. Luckily for him, the RAM came in time, because I was ready to hold him to his word. Lastly, they adjusted my billing cycle so that I was not charged for any of the days in which my server specs were incorrect.
I want to add that I actually expect all these things from someone I do business with. If they make a mistake, they should correct it and make it up to their customers. What really stood out about this experience was Ubiquity's honesty, willingness to admit their mistakes, and accommodate my requests.
The other thing I noticed throughout this experience is that Ubiquity's core staff is not located in Chicago (I can't be certain, but I'm pretty sure). The only times I experienced support delays was when Ubiquity's support staff had to page/contact their hardware person at the DC and wait for that person to do the work. Yes, I said "person", as in " uno", "one". At one point, there was a 2 hour delay because that person wasn't reachable. To be fair, this was after hours on a weekend, so they may have more people available during business hours. More importantly, to me at least, is that they were again honest about the situation, and they were able to deliver what they promised in the end.
I haven't needed to contact Ubiquity for anything else since that time. My server is running as it should be, and their network has never been down.

The short: Professional, honest, and competent. I've learned that when dealing with VPSes, if you want to be fancy you need to tolerate problems. While Icertainly had some interesting issues [url] with Ubiquity, besides a few of them they fall into the categories of 'stuff happens' and 'should get a dedicated server, instead'. It ran two of the most active adult communities in the world without a hitch. Except my members are addicted to them like crack and 15 minute lag issues are the end of the world for some : )
So now, four months after I left Acceleratedweb for Ubiquity [url]I am the proud owner of an overstock server from Ubiquity and am reviewing their VPS.
As the first link suggests - it wasn't my first shot with Ubiquity. I think that says a lot for making "If you ever want to come back." offers. They now have $125/month of my money, most of that guaranteed (I dislike having only one host so am probably going to try poking Futurehosting again after Lenny becomes a VPS install option there, or maybe Steadfast).
I really appreciate Ubiquity's patience with me while I learned how to self manage. I've come to detest control panels and have gotten rather good at it, especially after custom designing my own LAMP stack (handled over four thousand php page landings and forty thousand queries a minute from seventy connections... bad AJAX is a good DDOS simulation).
Typical Response Time: Ten minutes or so - pretty fast, though resolution can often be longer. The clock on vz010 is off by six hours on reboot. Very annoying.
General attitude: Not as individually detailed as AcceleratedWeb was, but this is okay, since I know more on my own now. Beyond that, they are generally pleasant compared to other VPS host's I've tried.
Server ping: Originally around 15 milliseconds. 40 now, and the same to my new server -
I wonder if echo requests or replies are throttled. I'm not sure if I'm a good judge here - the forums rarely take more than 2 mbps during any given minute unless I'm downloading a backup.
Server uptime: There was a crash a few days after I moved the forums to the VPS. November was around 99% with that, but otherwise it's closer to 99.8%, if you count occasional local outages. There is a router in between their network and their VPSes which sometimes goes haywire, which seems to be the main culprit.
Server speed: This is a bit tricky. Ubiquity only gives you access to one core. This may seem bad, but occasionally VPS members get hoggy, do you want one person out of thirty bringing your VPS down or one person out of four?
In the end, raw disk bandwidth is what counts for performance for me. The VPS server itself has a monstrous amount of RAM making this, usually, a non-issue. Occasionally though another VPSer would do something disk-heavy enough for us to suffer. "Get dedicated" <- we just did, that's why this review is here : )
Security: Ubiquity only took my root password when trying to diagnose the mystery disappearing disk space issue. They run a RAID and perform daily backups, and their control and billing software has no obvious security issues (though their billing software is plenty funky in other ways).
Price: Futurehosting is a bit more expensive but offers the future protect deal, while Ubiquity only permits one backup via the control panel. Pretty competitive for what is offered and allowed.
----
I did have issues with Ubiquity. Their DNS servers fritz occasionally. There was the mysterious disk issue that caused me to leave them in the first place. The server crash really made me grit my teeth. The system clock on vz010 gets set ahead 6 hours on reboot - very annoying (and the butt of a lot of time travel jokes on my forums). Even though that only happened twice. There are lag spike issues, but it never brought the forums down after the first time and even then it was resolved within 15 minutes.
Something I've learned and made it a bit of a mantra. Tolerate mistakes, cheap, do what you want - pick two. Or better, a good balance between them.
The support staff is both professional and, in general, technically competent. If something is over someone's head, it happens, it gets forwarded on and is generally dealt with. The only thing I really blame them for is letting vz010's clock be off for six hours after I notified them - but they were apparently rather busy.
----
I looked over dozens of VPSes for the criteria I wanted, and paid for several.
I needed a US host, in a fairly liberal state - I do not want my server hijacked by puritan authorities as had happened in Florida and Pennsylvania. I needed to host adult content, with an irc policy that makes sense. I needed to run Debian Lenny, and manage it on my own.
Out of all of them, Ubiquity was the only one that let me do everything I needed to, reliably and with confidence, for a price I could comfortably afford.
Not sure what else could matter, in the end. : )

I've used two different shared hosts in the past. First host had little to no support and got slower and slower as time went on. Second host, has been fine for my personal blog and portfolio site, but the load time is way slow at certain times of the day.
How in the world do you find a shared host that is actually going to be fast? I know you don't want a host that is over-selling, but how do you know a host is overselling? I assume any host that is less than $10/mo and has unlimited everything is going to be oversold, but how do you find one that is going to be responsive. Trial and Error? I've been trying to read the reviews on sitepoint, but I feel like a lot of the time the reviewer is unaware of site load times.
I don't mind doing the research myself, but I can't figure out where to look or how to look.
All I want from my host is fast load times, all the time. I don't have huge traffic, I do have a lot of files, and it's very important when someone comes to my site it loads as fast as possible.
Obviously cheaper is nicer, but I don't mind spending a little extra to have a server that loads fast.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a GOOD shared/reseller host? Geekstorage has had good reviews here, but I've been sorely disappointed in the frequent downtime I've had on two separate servers. Looking to move elsewhere soon if I can find someone else.
So -
Price isn't really an issue. I need at least 20GB of storage. Bandwidth also not an issue.

I had a fansite on Dreamhost but they wont host us anymore. Probably my fault but i didnt see putting pictures in a zip wrong, since uploading pictures to my gallery singley can be tedious.
Anyway i now have myqsl backups for wordpress and coppermine. The coppermine gallery has around 15,000 images. Its a fairly new site which got 200 uniques roughly a day.
I need a cheap shared host, since i have 2 servers already (but my friend is unable to tell me the details due to health) So im looking for a cheap shared host, that i will pay a yearly sum. I also need this host to restore my fansite since i have no clue what to do with these backups. So my rough budget is 1-3 dollars per month. I have looked around on
Last night i got messed around by ServerRhino - i wont post again what happened but basically i paid for a year package, waited as long as i could before i had to go to bed for the ftp login, i wake up to find ive been refunded with no explaination. All this has made me very angry as i thought il wake up today and have my site back.
The main thing im looking in the host is good support and cheap enough. I also may want to host a second site on it in the future.

I'm looking for a good ASP.NET Windows shared host. Here is my current experience thus far:
- WebStrikeSolutions - Excellent web host but doesn't offer MSSQL as part of base package.
- WebSecureStores - Excellent host that does offer MSSQL as part of base package but hasn't updated their website in over a year and hasn't released support for .NET 3.5.
- DiscountASP.NET - Excellent web host, CP is a little wimpy, doesn't offer MSSQL as part of base package.
For me, the essential features are:
- Reliable, reasonable performance (especially uptime).
- Includes MSSQL databases (limited number, but at least 3-5).
- Can handle CMS sites like DotNetNuke without significant slowness.

While I am extremely happy with their service and support, the outages are still a problem when they happen. Especially for the e-commerce customers.
They are beginning to ask what do we do in this situation? Generally I reply, there is nothing to do but wait in this situation.

I know there are a million "looking for cheap shared hosting" threads. Hopefully my particular values/interests justify a new one.
I'm a (mostly PHP/MySQL/CMS) web developer, using Dreamhost for years (perhaps DH was better back then) to host staging/development sites for clients (once I've developed a client site, I usually make them get their own host somewhere more reliable), as well as for low-traffic sites, transferring files, etc.
What I don't like about Dreamhost:
a) SLOW. my guess is this is 25% web server overselling, and 75% MySQL server overselling. My simple sites are tolerably slow - including lightweight php/mysql sites (textpattern CMS, etc.) - BUT my Drupal and Silverstripe and ZenCart experiments are intollerable (5+ second page loads).
b) funny ownership policies - I can't (easily) create a client FTP user that is restricted to one of my subfolders. Each user = exclusive file/folder ownership.
c) not much else. I seem to get a-little-too-frequent DNS problems/outages, and used to get a-little-too-frequent server lock-ups... but I don't expect perfection from a cheap host. And of course I send my mail through google apps, I wouldn't trust a cheap host with my mail.
What I like about Dreamhost:
a) the control panel functionality. Yes, it's ugly, but god it does a lot of nice stuff that cPanel doesn't (and frankly, cPanel is usually ugly too).
b) the usual: a very low price for unlimited domains, unlimited mySQL, and huge storage.
So, who is my next low-cost host?
a) Interested in MySQL performance/protection - perhaps hosts that put MySQL [and mail] on separate servers, like DH, but don't overload them!?! Do I need to worry about this?
b) I wouldn't mind moving to a reseller account
c) I'd like a progressive control panel; I have clients on medialayer - who use directadmin (nice) - but their pricing structure is a bit tight on domains/db/storage. [As an aside, medialayer provides excellent shared hosting performance/value/support, if you don't need a lot of domains/db/storage]
d) I'd like to stay in the $10-20ish a month range

I tried to put as much as possible into the title
I've had asmallorange for like 6 years now, was great host but lately uptime seemed to suffer a bit. Searching for some new one to try.
Could You recommend a cheap less than $5/mo shared hosting?
What I need:
highest uptime available, 99.8 or above would be great
use more than 10 websites with them, addon domains feature.
bandwidth above 1 gig, maybe above 5, not sure.
support doesn't matter that much, cause I almost never ned to contact them, lol
another thing I'd prefer is to use company's details in WHOIS info - that's really kind of important. Don't like Godaddy's $10 service. Just don't want to pay.
