Why am I having such a hard time with shared hosts?

[D37]

I also agree that you should go with www.thiswebhost.com . Prices are awesome and service is even better! My forums and sites are running BLAZINGLY fast! and support rocks

I havent had any problems with Hawk Host in over 24hrs, I am going to monitor it and see how it goes.

Best luck with Hawk Host.

My traffic has been going up and up and yesterday my traffic tripled and stupid HAWK Host went back to throttling my forum. I am done playing games with them I have ordered another 1GB VPS with Wiredtree. I am going to see how my website runs and maybe try and split the VPS with some one if I am not using all the resources.

Well IDK of any other good hosts besides .... Host Gator

Yeah, and I don't know any "good hosts" besides GoDaddy.

Just to drop in on this, i used to have a VPS with Linode, however quickly found out that life without Cpanel or any equivalent is a right royal pain in the rear, so have now moved onto a VPS from futurehosting.com. Only a week in, however their Tech support seem very on the ball, and no major problems as of yet....

Wiredtree uses cPanel and is fully managed, but they cost a lot more then Linode. But for the sake of my sanity its well worth it!

If you need a cheap vps that would just be used for a forum and maybe a html/css website or some other small script I would say to try out either www.6sync.com or www.mediatemple.com.

www.liquidweb.com

In life, you pay for what you get

 

[jimbothompson]

I myself use rackspace and serverint. Both of which have been great for me

Well I put this up,

I have had a couple of people interested, so maybe something to consider

It's very hard, if not impossible, to find a shared host which doesn't fill their servers to the brim (aka, overloading).

If you have a well trafficed site, get a hybrid VPS, a VPS with guaranteed resources, or a dedicated server.

If you pay peanuts, expect to have problems with speed/reliability. (in my opinion )

GoDaddy is one of the worst hosts out there...

I use: www.knownhost.com

I was on bluehost when I was on shared, then moved to Linode and have been there ever since. If you can manage without a cpanel, Linode is the way to go. I have been cpanelless for so long, I can't even think of any benifit it would bring me at this point.

I've managed to find a great host using www.webhostingtalk.com I currently use Stable Host - www.stablehost.com

The first site is great to ask questions and find out what you want to know, and you tend to find they are reliable as they do not want bad publicity. Stable Host have regular discounts and promotions which is great. I've been through several hosts over the years; shared, VPS, etc. This one has been the best by far for me.

No benefits. In fact, things like cpanel slow you down if you know how to manage a unix-style system.

A shell, perl and a text editor is really all you need. Spare that clicking horror for Windows admins
