Web Hosting Suggestions?

[null_x86]

Hey Guys, Anyone got any ideas for a good web host? I'm currently with GoDaddy and hate them. Domain.com looks good, but they're expensive. HostGator is what I am looking at right now, but then I read their TOS.

•Hacker focused sites/archives/programs

- Not Allowed. I called up their Support line to get some info, and they just gave me their scripted line of "blah blah blah, no illegal content", so I asked them if I gave a tutorial on how to jailbreak an iPhone or root a Droid, would that violate TOS, and they said yes. I would be going with HostGator because they have unlimited disk space and unlimted bandwidth, but their TOS is restrictive. Anyone know any good Web Hosts that have a decent price for unlimited data and bandwidth and a less restrictive TOS?

This is what we call legal boiler plate. They will take down your site if they get a notice, but unless they do nothing will happen.

Dreamhost or Dotster

May I ask why you dislike GoDaddy? I use them a lot for domain registration and email relay but have never hosted any websites with them (I've been thinking about using them for up coming projects)

If you looking for a good web hosting plan and domain name registration visit worldtophost. It has cheap, affordable web hosting which is reliable, has many features, and offers top quality support.

On worse case scenario, build your own webserver.

I had a .co.uk domain that had one month left, and godaddy wouldn't let me transfer it to another registrar. I didn't see there being any point in ringing them up or emailing them, as the whole purpose of an account control panel is so the customer has control over everything. Obviously not in my case.

In the end I cancelled the domain through Nominet (for UK domains) and got it again from gandi.net, where I used a free voucher.

I am very happy with discountasp.net.

Dreamhost was my second choice but discountasp.net had the price advantage.

I've been using webhostingsolutions.com for a number of years and have been very happy with the service. Another one I use sometimes is he.net.

dedicated linux server hosting

Don't use domain.com if you ever expect you will need any sort of support. I'm moving to a new provider once they get my server back up (been down 6 days).

If you want to go dedicated server route, I have never had a better experience than with Rackspace. I have two servers with them right now and have never waited more than 15 minutes to get support on anything/everything.

They have cloud hosting as well which is cheaper and on a cloud environment. The downside to this is they don't provide you with shell access or the ability to load your own software etc.
