What is the best hosting?

Hell all,


I am just asking in everyone's opinion what is the best/ Cheapest Web Hosting Service.


No affiliates please.


Also, I will be using joomla to make my sites>?

Does everyone like joomla? or what do you recomend?

Also, I will be needing a Partner for a new marketing concept/ and a web designer.

Justyn:

There is no one right answer to your question.

In fact, if ten people reply to this thread, you're liable to get ten different hosting recommendations, which is only going to further confuse you.

Be that as it may, the hosting company I use is called Midphase.

Thanks Dale, I did some research, but all the review sites, are affiliates, and just trying to make a buck, not provide real info, which is what I need.

I was thinking IX hosting,

bluehost, or midphase, ya

MediaTemple is pretty good - Dreamhost is OK too. Don't use HostingZoom, they're as shitty as it gets.

To be honest, all hosting companies suck when it comes to customer service so no matter who you go with you're always going to be pissed at one point or another.

Well, I could be biased and say I think http://www.globalwebbrands.com is the best - and I really do think it is.

Aside from my own company, the "best" hosts I've used have been HostGator and Timehost (add .com to each). You really can't go wrong with either of them.

I would pass on BlueHost if I were you. I've used LunarPages in the past and they worked pretty well for me.

You get what you pay for....so trying to find the "best cheap" hosting company is a harder target to hit.

You need to decide do you need space, speed, backups, reachable email or live chat support reps, phone support, 24/7 on call help, free support or do you want to pay $50 every time you need hosting to correct an issue, etc.....there are plenty of things that some programs will have and not have as they try to give a low price. If you didnt have some of these things in your hosting provider then it wouldnt be worth any price.

Go with LiquidXhost.com

They're really cheap (like $30 for the year), and unlimited addon domains.

They had some issues at first but their support helped me out right away.

If you're starting out they're the best. Way better than PooHost or CrapDaddy and cheaper.
