Web Hosting Reviews

I think the web hosting talk site is considered a decent resource for reviews. This is a topic that comes up routinely so search the forum as well for past threads that cover this.

 

Definitely do a search as it is a common question. Also, take a look at the hosts listed in this thread. They have been recommended by Mac Rumors forum members - although some of the recommendations will be quite old so bare that in mind.

 

Hostgator

 

I agree with the above poster.
I use hostgator for all my needs

Cant go wrong with them. The service is great. The package is great.

I would recommend that you pay attention to how the web host works with the technology that you will be using. For example I have noticed GoDaddy works well with static pages, but once you move to a database driven site (Joomla for example) the performance takes a big hit. If you expect a lot of traffic will you have a dedicated or a shared host? Will they allow you to instal your own applications? You might even try calling their technical support line with a few questions just to see how helpful they are. (But don't overburden them if you are not paying for anything yet.) Despite my criticism I have been generally happy with GoDaddy.

 

I do hear good things about godaddy too.

Maybe I will use them for my next project as I do have most of my domains hosted there.

GoDaddy is good for domains, but their hosting services generally don't get much positive feedback.

 

I personally use suppresshosting.com

 

A Small Orange = amazing.

Very highly recommended among users here at MacRumors. I've never seen a bad review.

 

2nd that, I would NOT go to any other hosting site

 

Hostgator hands down... lol - works for me anyway!

 

This is a very good site. Through them I found Cartika Hosting, who I have been extremely happy with. The hosting has been great, and the tech support is probably the best I have experienced.

 

I also use A Small Orange and have nothing bad to say. Easy to use and set up and incredibly inexpensive.

I've found GoDaddy's hosting to be ok performance-wise (for small sites) but have difficulty finding and tweaking the settings.

 

you can find at webhostingtalk, Sticky forums is best of choice, gud luck
