Web Hosting Reviews
I have more than 15 years of web development experience and have never had a web hosting company that just doesn't care as much as 1and1. I know that they are owned by the German Government and that it doesn't matter to them, but still... why offer a service if you can't even provide basic support for it?! I just don't get it?!
Horrible company; my domain name was suspended, because their system for some reason didn't renew my domain name. I'm not sure why? Anyways, after calling and giving them the credit card number, they said they would process it and get it back online.... after two hours, nothing. Called back again, I was told that I'd have to pay another $50.00 to get the domain name re-instated... ok, so I agreed... still nothing. Am searching for another web hosting provider at the moment.
One of my main concerns about WebHostingHub was if I would be able to have SSH access to the website or not, and since I need SSH access... it makes my life a lot simpler. If I didn't have SSH access, I would have to spend hours running a script manually rather than having it automatically run via SSH. So for me that was really important.
I work as a PHP developer and I have done over fifty seven sites for my customers and friends. I was using Green Geeks initially because of their eco-friendliness and the free domain name (when I was getting started). Since I've been with them for 3.5 years now, I recommend them to all my customers. There is a variety of hosting plans that would meet the needs of any webmaster on any level with any budget. Their VPS has it all the speeds are amazing cuz they are super well connected in Europe and Asia. If your looking for a Asia site outside of Asia, check with GreenGeeks.
HostGator is cheap, fast, easy to use, and has the backing of a responsive and well trained support team. I have two sites hosted at APLUS.NET at the moment, and I'm thinking of moving them over to HG because they are really crap since they got purchased. However, there is still hope for them, in the form of everyone should "ABANDON SHIP!" ahaha
Been with A2 and decided to checkout their wordpress hosting service, so I bought a new plan. They said that the site was like 20x faster etc... and they aren't kidding. Its mega fast. I don't know if its like 20x as fast as they say... but its much faster than the standard web hosting account.
Every problem that I faced at my old web hosting provider, I was able to thankfully shed. WHP provided me with a sense of stability that I lacked for a huge period of time. Now, I feel that my website is more stable and I'm happy and feeling more motivated about growing my website.
After trying a few different web hosting providers, I quickly found out that not all web hosting providers are created equal. Even though they all tend to run cPanel, BlueHost's cPanel seems to be custom tuned and optimized for performance and freebies, which is excellent for me. They gave me last week $100 in FREE Adwords! I was really impressed with the service!
I've been a customer of HostGator for approximately 15 years, and in that time, I've seen quite a few shows with them, both good and bad. I've seen them having a fantastic uptime and I've seen them constantly being offline. Either way, we've built a history together. However, their latest stunt has made me very upset, the prices went up $30! Im not even sure as to why... the service hasn't improved, they have not updated the servers... can't really find an explanation.
I've had the pleasure of using HostPapa on several web hosting providers and have really been impressed with their outstanding customer service and responsiveness. As any new e-commerce website customer, they have had to do a lot of hand holding, but their training and information is top notch. Really first rate.
Thank you for letting me share my feelings about this company. This company is probably a excellent example of amazing marketing. Its true, they have amazing marketing; but the problem is there is little professionalism to support that every growth. Their service is ok, apart from their support, which lacks and often is quite rude. Don't enjoy being hosted by them, but if the stability wasn't like it is, I would have left.
A+++ web hoster; have had a fantastic time with their support, their support is literally the best thing that they offer. They have an amazing support team, that really goes the extra mile for me. I have a vBulletin form, but the issue is (funny to call it that) is that I have about 30k visitors a month, which is the top side of any shared hosting plan, but GreenGeeks helped me optimize my site so its liter on resources and I don't have to pay extra for a new type of web hosting account.
