UPDATE: We're back.
I apologize for the erratic availability of the site. I'm having some issues with my hosting company all of a sudden. It's not a volume or resources issue, just sheer ... well, I'll hold my tongue.
Looks like I'll be moving the site to a new host, probably over the weekend, so additional outages are likely.
Please feel free to mention any suggested hosting companies in the comments.
What sort of features are you looking for in a host?
I realize I’ll have to make sacrifices at my price-point. Currently, I seem to be sacrificing responsiveness to support issues, which is becoming a tough pill to swallow as more and more people seem to be finding my site useful. Anyway, the list is basically:
1. Unix/Linux OS
2. The “standard” reseller-type features:
– Unlimited domains
– Unlimited subdomains
– Unlimited email accounts
– Unlimited databases
– Total DNS control
– Decent HD space and bandwidth
– You get the picture
3. SSH Access
4. Priced less than $40/month (I’m currently paying half that.)
Well, I’ll tell you what I do.
I have a $10 account with 1and1.com and use that for email, domain reg (5.99 a year), DNS and I actually have my wordpress blog on there right now.
I’ve never had an issue.
I also have a 30 dollar dedicated server at serverpronto.com which I do some more sophisticated stuff with. I point domains to the webserver there but leave the email on the cheap but stable account.
Also have had no problems.
I currently don’t use that server to it’s capacity and might be willing to coop it.
But If that were to happen, I’d suggest hosting email elsewhere. I just use this as a webserver and databases.
I got a dedicated server with this people and I want out now. They messed my system up and refused to lift a finger to correct the problem. Emailed and emailed and they stop responding to email. I will rather eat with the devil than this people. Dont believe the made up reviews on the web or paid reviews. Talk to people that actually have a service with them. Very unprofessional
