I've been using hosted web services for several years now. I have had experience with just a few web hosting companies. One of them has been great. Another of them was awful.
My last hosting company was Startlogic. I basically went with them because they were cheap and I didn't know anything else. They were good for a while, but soon I noticed some key problem with their services:
- email was down (at lest momentarily)almost every week
- my website was down almost as often as email
- the "backend" of the control pannel was terribly slow
- slow downloads and uploads to and from my website
- responses from technical support would take 24-28 hours
- it was almost impossible to get someone on the phone 1/2 - 2 hour hold times
I eventually decided to make the switch to another company - as long a process that is when you are hosting several website, domain names, and email accounts on your hosting plan. I chose JustHost after reading several reviews online.
JustHost has been just about the inverse of Startlogic's shortcomings. I have been using them for almost a year now and:
- I have never noticed email to be down
- I have never noticed my website to be down
- the backend of the control panel (cpanel) runs fast
- Downloads from my website average 5 mbs
- Responses by email support usually come within an hour
If you are looking for a good trustworthy place to host your website and maybe email, I recommend JustHost. You can get more information by clicking the following advertisement.
