Host suggestions?
-
I'm currently hosting with Hostgstor and was pleased with the service untl my site started to get big enough to run into problems. The unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space sounds attractive but they don't tell you that they throttle your database connections. Now that I have grown my site to the point where I am getting a few thousand visitors per day I am starting to have issues. I had an article get really popular and the server couldn't handle it. I'm looking for a host that will tolerate some spikes in traffic. (it's ok if I get charged more). I've heard good things about Pair hosting and I'll likely go with them but I thought I'd ask for a few more opinions first. Thanks!

I highly recommend NOT using GoDaddy, their service is okay if your lucky. The problem is that they max out all of their servers with as much clients as they can which can effect your performance if your on one of these. At least thats my experience with their shared options.
I would check out Site5 or Host Rocket if you want to get rid of Host Gator

I've liked TigerTech.net for some time, and that's where Search Engine Land, Matt Cutts, and others are hosted.

Thanks guys. I'm going to check all of these places out and make a decision soon.

I am using the Bluehost.com during 2 years and also I've suggested it to all my clients and so far I didn't get any negative feedback about it.
Also which hosting to choose it might be a very delicate problem and each user solve it randomly! Because each of us have different vision of ideal web hosting!
For you and many others who have this problem, I suggest you to go thought this website:
http://web-hosting-review.toptenreviews.com/
It has a big variety of sharing and dedicated web hosting with detailed review and features for each one.
Hope it will make sense for you.

Rackspace are also very pro. Not used them myself but heard good things about them too...

I actually went to Dreamhost who are a smaller company but serving some BIG customers. Many including myself migrated my 100+ domains to them having had enough of Hostgator. They don't use cPanel but have their own friendly but powerful interface which works well. Tech support is also much better than Hostgator (who I actually didnt find too bad).
From memory they offer a 30 day trial membership where you could check it out. And no Im not a rep or I'd have my affiliate link here. (you checked if that was a link didn't you?).
Hope this helps,

I know that Godaddy isn't the most popular among internet marketers, but I have always received great service from them. I have a virtual dedicated server with them. Works great. They are also supporting a cloud hosting option now.

Hi Marie
Have you considered **Rackspace **? They offer a range of hosting options and are at the higher end of web hosting. As such, they aren't cheap, though as you don't mind paying more, definitely worth looking into.
If they do turn out to be rather too costly, then check out GoDaddy who are less expensive though still provide a great hosting option, so long as the right hosting service is chosen.
Regards
Simon

Best Webhosting Suggestions??
Good morning my fellow Mozzers! I am currently looking at adding some diversity to my current web hosting and I was hoping I could get some suggestions. I dont currently need a VPS or Dedicated Server, I just need some shared hosting, you know, packeges that are sub $20 a month...i mean i will pay more than that, but so far everything i look at that meets my needs(basic hosting, email, ect...). This is for client sites and they are growing in number somewhat rapidly. I currently host with GoDaddy and they are amazing in the support department, but I do question whether their servers are causing slow page loads ect...but all in all I am happy with them. I have used Netword Solutions in the past, but left them because i was not a big fan of talking to support people in india and malasia. I do think that their servers might have performed better than GoDaddy so i am not ruling them out at this point i am looking for a provider that has excellent support and who has servers that are not so overloaded the can render pages and content slowly. Performance is very important to me. I am not looking for the cheapest, I am looking for the overall best. Thanks in advance SEOmoz family!!!

WordPress blog hosted on GoDaddy domain mapping help
We set up a WP blog that's hosted through GoDaddy. For various reasons, we purchased a URL to use to get through the technical build and set up and are trying to map that to a subdomain of our company website. (We can't host it on our own server, unfortunately). My question is: for WP blogs hosted via WP you can buy a domain mapping upgrade and I'm trying to find a similar plugin that could offer the same thing that would apply to our GoDaddy hosting and point to our subdomain (GD apparently doesn't offer the domain mapping). Anyone have any thoughts, please?
