So I'm looking for an awesome web hosting company for my personal and maybe a couple more websites. So the stuff I do is mostly open source cms's Joomla,WP,Drupal,Magento, and I do .NET sites at work. My current setup is an IIS with shared hosting and a simple control panel to manage my cms's.
Ideally, I'm looking for something with:
*Amazing control panel
*Probably open source, LAMP setup or even NgNix? I hear its pretty nice, but only if I can url rewrite easily with cms's
*Decent email servers
*CMS support
*Some kind of way to SVN to it?
*Bonus-.NET support
If you know a hosting company with some or all these hit me up! I want options! And I'm looking to spend ~20 dollars a month.
This is for a few CMS's (One might get huge!) and a playground for my sloppy code :)
I've been using mediatemple for a while now but wouldn't recommend their Grid-Service (gs) - I find it to be quite slow at times. Their dedicated virtual servers are great, but much more than you're willing to spend (with reason!).
I'm still looking for a new service myself. Though it might not fit your needs, I've been looking into StableHost.
Hey! Better not be spam posts! This is srs buznuss, Yeah, mt is notable for gs but not sure if I want to spend that much on hosting just yet until I find what I want to build on for a while...
Stablehost is nice, but not sure how good their servers may be. I think they might be hiding some more details that I want to see!
I use Just Host and have not received any problems with them. 24/7 Chat Support, Email Support within 1 hour, and for me they have not gone over that time limit once. Free domain for life as long as you keep the account. So no hassles of an annual payment. $70/yr (5.95/mo) for me since that is the package I chose. Oh and the most important, they have Anytime Money Back Guarantee.
Damnit. This kinda post makes me always reconsider my hosting choice lol.
Right now I use MT (gs), and I've yet to encounter any issues at all. That being said, I haven't hosted anything but my own personal stuff either, so it's a little one sided. But I am a little unhappy with the price tag. I came from GoDaddy then to HostGator then to MT.
I feel like I'm the only person who really hates cPanel and so many places use it. I find MT's admin panel is the one I prefer by far but again it comes with the price tag :)
Just a question to more host savvy folks - what is it you look for specifically from one company to another? I kinda feel like it's almost trial and error.
I did consider going with a local hosting company here in my city. Has anyone experienced doing it that way before?
I would go with a local company if you plan on hosting client websites on your server, that way if anything goes wrong you know that they will be open during your business hours and if worse comes to worse you can always go down there and talk to somebody in person.
Unfortunately for me, all of the local options are quite expensive and simply aren't worth it. On the flip side, I also don't host any client websites!
I have been using IXWebhostingfor the last 8 years and have had no problems like down time. They have great customer support, and offer most of the features you are looking for at 7.95 a month.
I'm feeling like the amount information available today is becoming less and less useful for many things. You really can't seem to get a solid idea of how good any of these companies are because there always amazing reviews next to awful reviews from users.
So far their are some good companies we have on here so far. . .
Ultimately, whats I'm going for right now is something that I can FTP and get SVN support with? Know what I mean? I want to have a server that I can FTP with and do version control on those files does anyone know how/or dot this?
Media Temple for the price probably has the best service so far, but I haven't looked at the tech specs that I could use on them, I'm assuming LAMP stack.
Hi, My suggestion is that you can go for HostMonsterWeb Hosting Company.It has the rating of about 98% and there is no cost for domain registration and setup.The disk space data transfer is absolutely unlimited for the customers.If you are not satisfied with their service, You can get back your money at any time.For all this service you have to pay $3.95/month.
Well its been about a week, and after looking a bunch, for LAMP setup I'm going to go with (mt) and get a gs pack. I'll see how it goes. I have several LAMP builds already so I'm kinda excited to see how they handle!
Please tell us about your experience with MT. I am in action and in need of good solid info on mediatemples services. Would love to hear about your initial reactions!
Thanks upfront Vinnix!
I am going to start accounts on hostgator and other less large services, just to try out their services. Will let you all know about my future experiences.

Just hate the hassle of switching :(
