Best dedicated hosting these days?
 

Yep, there have been other threads on the subject. times change. The economy has changed and some companies may have taken a hit.

So whats the best bang for the buck for manged dedicated hosting? Of most significance is qualified support especially in the area of security. Next comes speed! A Lot of variables affect speed (server, memory... and net connectivity). So I'm really looking for more than a simple one line answer.

Has anyone seen a decline in support ability, response time etc. from any of the hosting providers? Any improvements?


All comments appreciated.

I use Techie Media and Host Head and love them both - fast, perfect support, always there when I need them.

Avoid OC3 like the fucking plugue - for all reasons of decline

Haven't dealt with RightHosting but would certainly check them out

I always recommend Phat Servers, for good reason...

very happy with WebAir, they helped me a lot and support is great.

same here, been with them 3+ years and they have been great! recently got setup on the new cloud storage to archive some important files. very happy camper! :thumbsup

Phatservers for years with no issue.

Phatservers and Mojo :)

Good peeps below

Phatservers looks interesting. Any comments?

I'd like to ask if anyone ever left 'em and why? You'd really have to be pissed to slam someone on a public board...... But I could take info via ICQ. Not interested in hearing from hosting sales reps.

Not a slam on them, not with 'em. They may be a good choice....

Webair for years with little issues.

I have always been very happy with http://www.adultfriendlyhosting.com.

I am a big fan of TechieMedia

They have been my host for many years and never any problems!

The support staff is amazing, the servers are top of the line and the bandwidth is the best!

Can't lose with TechieMedia - highly recommended :2 cents:

well, time to make a decision I think.
choose carefully and please let us know what you choice was, otherwise all our efforts (exept for the postcount was useless )

had no problems at all with Pacificrack :thumbsup

Just wrote you a 14 page report, but took to long and was auto loged out before I hit submit. Should have copied it... Will have to gen it up later...

Can't go wrong w/ Mojohost!

Mojohost, no problems with them ever

There is no such thing as best hosting.They are equal more less,in most cases only price is different.

I'm happy with webair.com.

very happy with theplanet.com

:)

cause we love and take care of all our customers!!! :thumbsup

I've been spoiled by National Net. I've been working with them for nearly six or seven years and they are so quick. These days I'm doing a lot of consulting and I have access to dozens of servers at different companies. I'm tired of putting in a work order because I physically can't see a server via HTTP and waiting an hour for a response. With National Net it's instant.

National Net rocks.

No offense, but I can tell you from experience that support and speed does vary from host to host. So does up time. An hour of down time may not seem like a long time in the whole scheme of things, but what it does to traffic and trades can be amazing. For example my trade script on several TGPs auto suspends a trade for no traffic in an hour.

If you can't get a problem resolved for couple of days what ever the reason, it is can destroy conversions. For example the recent ComusThumbs hack. CT had a solution. What if your host blocked the upgrade to a fix?

Coming from you is an endorsement for sure! Worth taking note for those looking right now.

Mojohost is the way to go 1000000% I love'em.

They used to have a top reputation but a month or 2 ago they had that 8+ hour downtime, so that and their above average pricing kinda puts a dent into their old quality reputation.:2 cents::2 cents:





Tha statement is retarded. Quality of bandwidth, support, network uptime and a ton of other factors makes the difference. Hosts are not all the same by any means, that is just a stupid comment.:2 cents:

Mate with every host an occasional hicup may happen, especially if in the end the original issue was caused by some 3rd party script or something like that.


I happen to host now with Techiemedia and for the most part these mofos are fantastic and 2 steps above the rest. But even with these guys who are the best a very occasional hicup may happen as they arte human. But in the rnd they still blow doors off the other 3 hosts I've been with and all of those are well known, in fact all were mentioned in this thread, but i won't name names.:2 cents::2 cents:

Coming from you (a respected old school guy) that means a lot. I also have been with many of the well known hosts, but moved to techiemedia a few years ago and they have proven time and time again to be the Top. I consider them to be the cream of the crop in the hosting biz. I don't think i could ever leave the techie family, I love Jim and his crew.:thumbsup

Pacific Rack

i am telling ya, see my sig

Nothing even comes close to Techiemedia. Best of the Best !!

I am happy with my box from Hosthead. If you check out the GFY classified forums they are running a special on "preowned" boxes. THese things are great deals.

Bullshit.They are not same ofcourse but very similar in mosts cases.As i said before there cant be best hosting beacuse you will never know what can happen.For example tornado can hit datacenter and sudenly your perfect hosting will become crap.

ISPRIME hands down !

Webair :thumbsup

see sig ;)

zone.net does the job for me

:2 cents:

Thanks man!

I consider them cream of the crop too as do many hosting companies hell tons of hosting companies get their services from Techie at one point or another


Jim and Wayne have built a solid company thats got the best support you could ask for.

Hosthead.com !:)

I concur! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Speak to Mike or Gerard they will set you up proper!

Right on!:thumbsup
