Choosing from my shortlist
| Posted by ridesign, 06-16-2006, 09:57 AM |
| Hi,
I am currently hosted with Reseller Zoom on their advanced package, however increasingly i have have experienced that the server is down or very slow so that is unusable, also the mysql connections fail due to the time it takes to load.
Today alone I had server loads of 18.12.
I am considering:
Hostgator
U2-web
Dataflame .co.uk
cwcs .co.uk
bluehost
I would appreciate any comments, I have read that many people prefer hostgator, but can't find much on u2-web, dataflame or cwcs
Also is there anyone else i should consider, in the budget of upto $35 per month.
I don't need a reseller package, but it needs to be reliable.
-Should i consider VPS (i don't have any knowledge of how to maintain a server)
Requirements:
3GB Space
25Gb Bandwidth
30 add-on domains
50 MySQL databases
if possible 200 parked domains
Also I need to be able to send newsletters, upto 2000 via throttling or in one go.
Installed Trusted Shared SSL or private
Also what stats should i look for to see if a host is quick and the mysql database is reliable +quick
thanks

| Hostgator has many happy reviews on this forum so they would get my vote, you can also find many reviews on hosts at (INC hostgator): http://www.webhostingjury.com
Goodluck in your search :-).

| As far as I know, Bluehost and Hostgator are completely different. Bluehost oversells like anything and Hostgator is more reasonable with their packages.
However, I believe that a budget 35$ should throw some very good options for you. Best of luck in your search.

| Two more hosting firms to consider-- they have excellent uptime, don't overload their servers and have fast, helpful customer service:
Sonet7.com
sjrhosting.com
