What the heck! I NEED HOSTING!

30 12 2005

Okay I am pissed off. NickStarr.com is hosted at Dreamhost which is a great host.

FlickrLicio.us was hosted at Dreamhost, but they said the site was using too much of the resources of the server, and kicked me off. I went to Yahoo! Hosting, praying that since they own a large portion of the internet, that it would be FAST and RELIABLE. OF COURSE IT ISN’T!!! IT’S YAHOO FOR PETE’S SAKE!

If you try to go to FlickrLicio.us, DO NOT try to go to www.FlickrLicio.us it gives an Error 400 that Yahoo’s tech’s can’t figure out. On top of that, the site is SLOW as molasses.

I need a host that is somewhere around $10ish per month that I can pay MONTHLY. I don’t want to pay for a whole year up front, as that I doubt that the host will be any good. Also no setup fee would be nice.

What do you use? What do you recommend? Own a host and want to help me out?

I need: MySql & php support. A few gigs of space, 100’s of gigs of bandwidth, and subdomain support.

Thanks

P.S. If I can’t find a good host soon (aka this weekend) I am going to stop doing the site (FlickrLicio.us), b/c I’m so pissed about it right now.

have you tried webmasters here in Tampa, we’ve had a great experience with them hosting all of our sites.

Yeah, they are the ones who host HomestarRunner.com so I would TOTALLY go with them, if they had a month to month option…which they don’t.

As it has been…a week to week wouldn’t even be good for me right now with all the crappy hosting I’ve been getting.

Well, you get what you pay for. In the meantime, try HostM or A Plus Net. I had great customer service with A Plus. HostM has been pretty good, though they’re not as touchy-feely, relying mainly on prompt, courteous email to resolve any issues. After asking people on four different forums, about 2000 users, those two consistently came up as receiving glowing review. Whether they offer what you need for the price you want, I don’t know.

Another one techies really recommend is Text Drive, however, J over at Thrashing Sthinks seems to have had some problems with them.
