TECH Good Host?

[Fase]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but...

I'm looking to register a domain. I also need basic hosting with MySQL, PHP support, and a few email addresses with the domain, and file (image) uploading. URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) would be nice as well.

I have tried GoDady in the past, I hate their website and management layout but whatever they were ok. I have a site with NetworkSolutions but they're expensive and I don't like how they steal domain names when you search for them through them.

Should I try HostGater? Or stick with GoDaddy? Any recommendations?

do not stick with godaddy

I have been using hostgator for the past 3 years and they are good

also I have have hosting with bounceweb and they are great too and can't beat their pricing, an oter owns them

HostGator appears to be a lot cheaper. ~$66 vs ~$92 for a year.

I am not sure why, but there are like 2 or 3 oters who sackride 1 and 1, makes no sense, they are fucking horrible

hostgator is definitely the best cheap shared host. I just moved to A Small Orange and they've been great so far.

they're not bad. I had a few initial issues with them and ended up getting a refund. I picked up a VPS from knownhost.com for 45/month after an OTer recommended them.

every email sent from my bounceweb site got flagged as spam.. even the emails I received from bounceweb support got flagged as spam. it was also far slower than my hostgator account. I ended up canceling without a refund because I didn't use it and didn't want to risk them renewing it.

I have had 2 different accounts with them and never had a problem with my emails being marked as spam and I have not noticed it being slower than my hostgator account, now you got me wanting to look at the speed and see if it is slower for me

I have a shared and a dedicated server with them.. neither have problems and my customer support has always had a max turn around of 2 hours.

like I said you must have gotten lucky, because I talk to more people that have had bad luck with them then good luck, poor customer service, outrage times for outages and so on

cPanel seems to get in the way more than anything else. I only use it when I have to.
