Hi all -
I was hoping I could get a little help with the community as I'm so frustrated with my current and previous hosting situations! I am currently with ProHosters, and was happy for a long time, but things have been going downhill and I fear it's time to make a switch.
I am looking for a dedicated server, I'm currently using up to 200GB of bandwith per month (and hope for that to go up over time so need an account that can grow with me), 24/7 tech support, superfast connection, unlimited domains/subdomains with unique IPs, extraodinarily rare downtime (IF ANY), daily backups, subaccounts, Sawmill stats configured the way I need them for my SEO, a tech to transfer my accounts, databases, etc for me so I have no downtime btwn host switches, php, etc etc.
I have hundreds of domains, about 20% of them adult, the remainder mainstream. Most of my adult biz is type-in traffic b/c I haven't developed it yet, but my mainstream stuff relies on search engine optimization for traffic and, as such, requires unique IPs for optimal rankings. This was something that was promised to me, at no extra charge, by ProHosters when I came on board with them and now, after a year and a half of being a customer, suddenly the techs are saying they need to ask for permission from their boss to give unique IPs for my new domain adds (we regularly buy new domains to add to our account) and telling me they need to charge for it. The salesperson from ProHosters had even told me that my previous host, Blue Gravity, was ripping me off by charging me for each unique IP address because there IS no cost for them - the hosting company just needs to be able to justify why a customer needs unique IPs and SEO is valid justification for that.
I'd love to hear from other webmasters regarding their experiences with hosting companies that allow for unlimited IPs. ProHosters used to be everything I wanted in a hosting company, but lately its just been one disappointment after another. (I even have support tickets that don't even get a tech assigned to them for weeks at a time!)
Suggestions??? Switching hosting companies is such a nightmare, so I want to make sure that I'm going to be happy for a long time to come with my new host
Any help that anyone can provide would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks much!
