I was using them about a year a half ago, loads of features, loads of space and bandwidth, cheap - unreliable, down alot, slow.

I'd avoid them - they obviously massively oversell (I'd absolutely love one of those unlimited hard drives ;)).

In this business, the line "you get what you pay for" couldn't be more true.

Avoid.

Yea thats what attracted me wanted to apply

but yes , the services ... wont be any better than before i wonder, i still like to hear some of their current customers comment and see if it worth it. :laugh:

God awful! Avoid them. Their FTP service was unreliable, I couldn't get a constant connection, it would drop off after transferring a few files, and this happened on multiple FTP clients. The customer service was alright.

I had them for a year and a half and just a few weeks ago moved all my domains away to my new VPS from them because of recent reliability issues and slow performance. Sites were taking far too long to load so I suggest you avoid them because you can't help but believe that they're overselling what they're servers are capable of. Perhaps you can look into A Small Orange? Apparently they don't oversell.

They suck, plain and simple. A server load below 10 is something that almost never occurs lol.

Avoid them like the plague.

Than what would everyone recommend? I've been looking at the too, but this thread just blew'em out of the water :laugh:

I use asmallorange.com. Excellent service, great uptime, low server load, etc.

I host a little bit there, but someone pointed me to mediatemple recently...my dreamhost account is about to renew...and I am thinking about just doing mediatemple..its just not as cheap but sounds pretty good and reasonable for the price

I am using www.hostexcellence.com and I find them to be very reliable, with excellent customer support (which I don't use very often) and they also have a high bandwith / unlimited storage for $12/month

I use http://www.implux.net Pretty good service :)!

I've never had problems with them. Their support has always been very good, and for what you pay, you get a lot. I host 7 domains by the way.

I use Dreamhost, one of my websites uses Joomla - it used to work fast for a few days, now it's unbearably slow, I've asked support about it and they said they were on it..

5 weeks later - same story

[Colin-uk Veteran]

I used them for about a year and didnt really have any problems with them.

but they do oversell so you probably wont get whats actually advertised. i guess if you dont mind not having defined limits then theyre a good host.

[WhoTheF]

Wow!!! I can't believe I am reading this.

I was thinking about buying their "unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth" but i didn't have enough money on my account.

[Olemus]

Im currently using godaddy and couldnt be happier.

[gnuman]

I've used them for 3 years and don't have any major issues with them in regards to service. Yes my site was down a few times over the time I've used them but that was it.

[RAINMAN]

I've used them for a few years and I have only had a few downtimes and the service seems pretty fast for all my sites. ;)

[Xtreme2damax]

I would look into hostgator, servers are fast, decent amount of space/bandwidth, CPanel and features. My site in my signature is currently hosted with them, I couldn't be more pleased.

In the 4 - 5 months I've been hosted with them, I have yet to experience any downtime. :)

ME! the best HOST EVER!!! check my siggy, they're also green, never had issue, quick and always responding to inquery's and questions.
