hosting

$0.02 worth:

I've had very good experience with www.siteground.com. It's been a couple of years now and although there was a weird week back in December where things were a bit slow, they have generally been very good to us.

Have used dozens of hosting firms over the years. A second choice would be www.autica.com which is the reseller arm of www.midphase.com. Very good value, excellent speed of support responses - though not always high quality responses.

Have used CMSB on both quite happily. Siteground has much higher size and timeout limits on upload file through the script.

I've been using IXWebHosting for a number of years and recommend it to all of my clients.

One of their big claims to fame is that their tech support is excellent and based in Kentucky. No entry level techs!!!!

They suffer from the same issues as most shared hosting providers who deal with thousands of customers, (abuse issues, etc.) but have an excellent interface and a wide range of system software and services.

They do offer a dedicated server program that might make sense to some of you who would rather have your own server and only share that space with your clients. Break even cost is about 20 clients.

They also offer an excellent affiliate program, but I wouldn't recommend them if I didn't find them to be dependable.

Hope that helps,

Jerry

I also have been using IXWebhosting for about 6 years now and have over 60 sites hosted in 4 different accounts. After having used many other hosts, they are my champs! I seldom have to call for support, but when I do, I get an ENGLISH SPEAKING HUMAN VOICE with minimal wait time. Their control panel is very nice and they allow a lot of control over the server(s). They are based in Columbus, Ohio now (Moved from Kentucky last year) in a new state of the art facility. All Interactive Tools' products run great on their server, both Linux and Windows.
