Website Hosting

I know there are tons of website hosts out there. I was looking for some recommendations on one.

I of course want reliable service and a host that can support a ton of photos. Any suggestions are welcomed. :)

I use www.powweb.com/

Great service, reliable servers, and very knowledgeable/friendly staff. I also like how you can use the 'live chat' or their toll-free number anytime, 24/7. I've been very happy with them. In the years I've used their service I don't think I've ever experienced website downtime.

As for storing a lot of pictures: Disk Space (Raid Storage) = Unlimited & Data Transfer/Bandwidth = Unlimited.

I like godaddy

GoDaddy for Beginners

RapidVPS for Advanced

1and1.com is cheap. I've been using them for years and they've been the most reliable host I've had so far.

godaddy!

Great stuff everyone!

Thanks, keep em coming.

Go Daddy has affordable plans starting at under $5 a month https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosti...5Fhdr=&ci=5652

And great services too! :gj:

My experience is simlar to NightLad's, only with GoDaddy. They are great to work with, awesome prices, and I have had 0 downtime.

I use GoDaddy. Haven't had any problems yet!

In the past before I bought the hosting box, I have used a few.

I was most impressed by innohosting.com Great service, good prices, reliable servers.

I was just ok with certixhosting, Not so good service, great prices, non-reliable servers.

I was least impressed by GoDaddy, Very bad service, avg prices, horrible servers, I changed servers 3 times and everything was still horrible.

I haven't personally used this yet, but someone at work gave me this one when I start website building.

Just to let users know, There is no such thing as unlimited disk space and BW. Its just for flash, It draws users in and say wow I can host any site I want there! Well most websites do not take over 500mb of space!!!! As well dont use up more than 1gb of BW a month!!! These host oversell on there accounts which steal resources from your account (cpu, ram ect....) Just to let everyone know :)

i would personally recommend Clear (chris) for web hosting... i coincidentally just posted in the feedback forum about him. great service, good pricing, and unbeatable support.

i use 1and1.com and created my own website. its pretty cheap and i would say good for beginners because if i could use it then anyone who can use a USB mouse could.

bigballs, was the software you used called SiteBuilder that comes with the cPanel? The reason why I am asking is to find someone that has used it and their thoughts on it.

yes its called sitebuilder. its very easy to use but people have been telling me that the code could be more organized. its probably not the best program but i would have had no idea how to create my website without it.

If you have a small site whithout any databases, just about any host will work. If your site is a bit more complex I highly reccomend choosing a host that has their servers onsite and has 24 hours phone support.

Just about every hosting service out there is using some kind of "Reseller Account" and don't have the servers onsite. This means some kid can buy a huge amount of server space, break it up into different packages, set up a webpage store front and he is in the hosting business. I would stay clear of these services.
