				 |  Hosting Companies to AVOID? Name and shame if you dare. I'm setting up a 150 domain project and need 10 new hosting companies (virtual hosting).  Haven't bought new hosting in 3 years, so what's been happening, who suck? I've just fooked out adulthost.com for being a total pile of shite with no support whatsoever. Ran through some threads on here about hosting, and have a few in place, but need to know which are lemons. |

				 | Get a server and a bunch class c ip's, Getting a bunch of virtual accounts is a waste and a half... You got your choice between Jim over at Techie Media, Lloyd with Got Web Host... This is coming from a guy who has had a box in every data center in the US at one point or another... |

				 | I shall take after Lycanthrope O h, lets see, I C an easily name 3 hosts I would not host with. One sounds like ReamHost and the other like WebHair. ** Hosting companies interpreted by my listing, if correct, are listed as a result of my experience with their support and/or stability and in no means is 100% factual ** |

				 | Tried 3ix dot org about a month ago... After a week according Alertra my site was up 83% of the time... asked a refund and got it... support there really suck. Posted a support ticket for an inquiry about their firewall and got a reply that they are fixing their dns and situation should be back to normal in next hours. Actually im with hostgator and really happy. |

				 | I'd personally recommend OC3, I never had any issues with them with my personal servers. Is signed up when Caz was there and didn't follow him only because I saw no need, but I'm sure his new thing Right Hosting is probably a solid recommendation as well   Another I haven't tried myself but I have heard good things from people for SEO using baddog's GotWeb Host.

				 | InternetConnection.net = garbage.  They went so far as to bill me for excessive bandwidth six months after the fact with the lame ass excuse that their software that measured bandwidth hadn't been working for several months.  Mother fuckers.  I call them Intershit Connection whenever I think of them. Prohosters / Carpathia's rates were fair at first but as years went by the rates from new hosts for a dedicated box could get me 4X the server and 10X bandwidth at 33% of the cost. They told me to leave if I found a better deal (and I did). Fuck 'em.

				 | I love www.surpasshosting.com, been with them since 2004 and they've taken good care of me. I had a terrible experience with www.zenex5ive.com when I needed an additional server and tried them, but it might've been bad luck.

				 | I'd been royally screwed in the ass by Servage. Their policy is to promise you heaven and if your site grows, they'll suspend it and POST THEIR LINK ON IT. This is how they grow their business. They attract webmasters with promising websites, webmaster works hard to make the site a success and when the turning point comes, they take what you have worked so hard for for themselves. leaving you with a blank star and need to start all over again. Second worst is HostICan - fuck I don't even want to start on this piece of shit host. I mean... fuck! I've been safely with Mojo for almost a year. I'm good now, but I got lured to host with world's worst hosts in the past |

 Needless to say I had to lose almost a week of traffic, because I had to update DNS again to point back to my original provider... but then I looked at some of the major sites that have never been down and did some IP to name lookups to see where and who they were hosting with and http://www.colo-cation.com was one of them. After speaking to Chris on the phone, he had my virtual set up same day and i've never been happier over the last year and a half... solid uptime, no issues, and fast.

				 | Like a few others already mentioned I have been with several other hosts and they all had negative issues.  Stay clear from webair, oc3, pacific rack, dreamhost, alphared.  All are up and down like a cheap hooker and useless support eventhough they have lots of paid off board spammers...LOL    I am currently at Techie Media and couldn't be any happier also mojo is good,  nat net is good but to expensive, for virtuals I would say baddog is decent and also phatservers.   |

				 | I had bad experience with Webair virtual account and I had a good damn awful time with a dedicated server at OC3.  Now I'm more than happy at Phat Servers - phenomenal uptime and great support.

				 | I have been with Techie Media since they started      I originally had a small virtual host back then  now I have many servers with them.  I have used many hosting companies for various things  in the end I have found no better  then techiemedia Jim and Wayne are top notch and they have so many techs on staff I never wait more then a few minutes for support tickets to be completed unless the actual task takes longer. Someone always jumps right on a ticket when I put one in. |
