Looking for a host

by JD · in General Discussion · 06/11/2007 (10:36 am) · 9 replies

Hey, I'm in the works of trying to find a webhost for the following specifications:

1GB
10GB Monthly Bandwidth
Unlimited SQL (Or Atleast 15)
Unlimited E-mails (Or Atleast 50 Accounts)
FTP Accounts (Unlimited)
Support for PHP (Obviously)
Parked Domains and subdomain support

What I need it for: Game Development. Hosting the downloadable.

I'm in the processing of trying to contact an old friend who hosted it before, but I'm also looking for new avenues to get to my destination. Please contact me via e-mail, I'm working on a free game and want to deal with a host one on one *a small one*, not a big company.

    Go with DreamHost (http://www.dreamhost.com)

    $9.95 a month (smallest package) for that and so much more

    User the coupon: LAMBERTSOFT and the $50 setup fee is waived, you have to only pay $9.90 to get started.

    I do like that, however I would really rather go with someone small. But Now I do have an idea of what I should be paying for 1GB a month :P

    I'm using bihira. Host dime is a much better value if you want to pay a bit more, but Bihira's cheapest package is less than half of Host Dime's. Check them both out I guess. :)

    I use 1&1 Internet they have lots of goodies included with their packages. I know you said you wanted one on one support, but I have dealt with their customer service reps and they have always helped me out down to the smallest detail and they won't leave any issue unresolved. Their 24 hour telephone support and e-mail support is excellent.

    The 1&1 business package seems like the closest match.

    250GB Web space
    2.5TB (2,500 GB) Monthly Bandwidth
    50 MySQL databases each 100MB
    2500 E-mail accounts each with 2GB of mailbox space
    25 FTP Accounts
    Support for PHP
    Parked Domains and subdomain support
    Hosted on Linux

    $9.99 a month, no setup fee standard.

    But I am also using them for game development web hosting and this is the package I bought from them:

    1&1 Developer package

    300GB Web space
    3.0TB (3,000 GB) Monthly Bandwidth
    100 MySQL databases each 100MB
    4000 E-mail accounts each with 2GB of mailbox space
    50 FTP Accounts
    Support for PHP
    Parked Domains and subdomain support
    Hosted on Linux

    $19.99 a month no setup fee standard.

    Good luck in your search for a good host!

    IXWebhostind is a great company. Phone, ticket, and chat support. Great people to work with. They have campatable prices and great hosting plans. Check them out.

    I agree with Mike about IXWebhosting. More important than price is support, and IXWebhosting has been the best at that. I'm really tired of hearing "Sorry, we can't duplicate your problem here" from places like GoDaddy when I have a problem.

    As long as you have no problems with your site, the cheap sites seem great. But the first time you (or your customers) can't access your site for some reason you'll be much more happy to hear "Yes, you had a problem and we've taken care of it."

    I spent a month last year finding a nameserver problem with a GoDaddy site they told me there was no problem with, and after I found it they said "Yup, guess there was a problem" and fixed it. But that was after a month of great frustration. Same thing is happening again right now, so I'm in the middle of transferring the six domains I still have with GoDaddy over to IXWebhosting.

    The moral is, as always - paying 10 cents for five gallons of root beer is not a good deal if you can't drink the root beer. Look for support...
