Hosting reviews? GoDaddy, Netfirms, Yahoo, etc…?
I’ve been unable to find a reliable website with credible hosting reviews. Here’s what I’m looking for:
1- multiple domains
2- low monthly prices (under 10 USD per month)
3- no annual commitments
4- responsive customer service
5- no push marketing strategy (I currently use GoDaddy, and they push like nothing I’ve ever seen before)
6- ease-of-use (Yahoo’s interface is extremely user-friendly)
7- 200gb of storage and 2000 gb of bandwidth (not asking a lot here)
So, what’s the deal here? HostGator seems like the obvious choice, but I think they use deceptive marketing practices, including the use of sister sites, such as Blue Host and Host Monster. Yahoo won’t allow me to use multiple domains with one hosting account. GoDaddy is reasonably priced, but the user-panel is extremely unfriendly and they use aggressive marketing strategies. Netfirms bills quarterly maintenance fees without annual contracts.
Once again… What’s the deal?

quick question about hosting – someone please answer this one this time!?
alright this is a pretty noob question… im probably just making the answer much more complicated than it really is.
say i go with hostgators baby plan: unlimited domains/disk space/bandwidth
now does this mean that i can pick up some cheap .com’s or .info’s from whoever, change the nameservers, and voila – upload some html pages or whatever and im good to go!? or am i missing something here?!??!
ive heard that hostgator hosting is the way to go or should i look into something else?!
p.s. i don’t care about mysql or any special jazz – im just looking to host some static pages.
thanks.

Well, this is really something you should be asking Host Gator. However, from looking at their website, it looks like the Baby Plan gives you UNLMIMITED (their caps, not mine) domains. That means you can have any many different URLs as you want, all pointing to different web sites. The sites will be hosted by them, and the disk space shared (but since that is UNLIMITED too, it doesn’t matter).
You shouldn’t have to buy the domain name from them (.com, .info, etc.), but if they sell them, you can (I buy mine from directNIC–always had good luck). Once you get everything set up, Host Gator will give you an IP address. You tell whoever you bought the domain name from to have the name point to that IP address.
However, this is just based on past experience, YMMV. If you don’t like Hot Gator, or they don’t give you decent service, I’ve always had good luck with QWK.net. I’ve always been able to talk to a real person, quickly. HTH
Shubham says:
Do you think Hostgator is a Good host and available in $0.01?
Well, I read it here that hostgator is available in just $0.01.
Is that right? Also its written that they are the best?

what happened to my website? wordpress and hosting question…?
I had a website with wordpress hosted by hostgator… I do not even know how I did that but it worked and I was working on my website, I had some google adsense on it and was trying to promote stuff on it, etc… i cancelled with hostgator yesterday and now I cannot find my website… so what is wrong? Do I need hosting? Can I still work on my site without hosting, and get hosting later because I cannot afford it right now.. what happens to the google adsense? Can anyone tell me what is the easiest thing to do here and is there any free hosting that I can sign up with? Thanks to any replies!
ɨ says:
It looks pretty cool.
Brian says:
its a trap!
sirhk97 says:
You have to configure the DNS for your domain in GoDaddy to point to Hostgator, where you have your WordPress installed. This usually involves changing the nameserver at GoDaddy to the one for HostGator. The ad page you see is the free hosting that GoDaddy gives you that has advertisement on it.

only INDIAN webmasters or webdevelopers help me out….?
as i am new in web development industry….,
one of my friend told me that his uncle has a hosting company in delhi….and suggest me to host my newly site there,which i have developed.
so here is my question…….
1. should i host there in delhi?????
2.or move to international hosting companies.(hostgator,bluehost etc.)
3.in above two ,where i will get more satisfaction,security as well as physical protection of my data??
Nightbird says:
The location of hosting companies doesn’t matter so much as the quality of service and their uptime (are their servers always up or do they keep going down) counts.
One point you might want to consider is: Where are your visitors going to be from? Are they going to be from your city/country? Or from all over the world? If they are going to be from only your city/country, then go with a local host (after ascertaining the quality). If its going to be from all over the world, then consider an international host. The internet connectivity infrastructure is fantastic in countries like US, UK, Germany, Singapore etc while they aren’t necessarily so in the rest of the world.
Some more points.
1. should i host there in delhi?????
If you are sure that the quality of hosting of your friend’s company is going to be world-class, then sure, why not? Experienced firms with fast response times and technical competency are definitely better than others. Call their customer service and ask them a technical question and see how they answer and how fast they answer. That will be a good indicator of what their customer service is like. Do they offer 24/7 support? Would they be able to service your website if it goes down in the middle of the night or would they want you to wait till the morning. World-class companies have response times of lesser than 2 hours (actually much lesser) for urgent issues.
2.or move to international hosting companies.(hostgator,bluehost etc.)
If you decide to go with international firms, then I’d say Hostgator offers better options. Bluehost only has shared hosting. So in future if your website becomes popular, you might have to move to other hosts who have other types of plans like VPS, dedicated etc. and Hostgator has all those types of hosting. Cost-wise they are kinda same.
3.in above two ,where i will get more satisfaction,security as well as physical protection of my data??
This no one can probably answer. If you go with a good hosting company you will probably be satisfied. Security is an important aspect but once again it will vary based on the company you choose.
All the best.

You need to edit the scripts in some cases. I could do it for you if you link my website. You would just need to email me your spec and password. Then obviously, change the password when I’m finished.
jglw@live.co.uk if you are interested.
How much are you paying for hosting? I’ll host you one for free for a mention on your site, like in the footer or something. Do you have DNS management of the domain name?

WordPress folks…please help!!!?
I have created a wordpress site through hostgator and fantastico with them. It did most of the leg work for me which was great. I didnt have to use ftp because hostgator will extract the files for you from the zip….Now here is the problem, I want to give the site to someone else but keep the files. They dontmind keeping the domain but will change it if necessary. i want to keep the files as somewhat of a blueprint but allow them to upload the sites files or I will do it for them that doesnt matter. So basically I have a few thins I needananswer or clarification on….
!. How doI get a copy of the finalized website files with my additions that were developed on wordpress.org hosted by hostgator?
2. How do I set her up with the site but keep the finalized files? and is an ftp needed or capable of doing this now that the site is already created?
3. How can I simplify the situation in the future because I plan on doing this more often, am I better off being a reseller? and if so, do the same guidelinas apply? I know this is a lengthy question and if you only have part of the answer that would be great also.

Best Website Hosting Company?
Well here’s my scenario. First I started using Hostgator and it was a bit high and had a horrible cpanel options. Then I went to bluehost and loved it for about 3 months but the terrible customer support made me leave. Now I am at a place called Hostpug.com and I am loving so many features and storage. Only problem is that there support is a bit slow at times. But they have mad cheap rates which keeps me staying. Anyone know any host cheaper and has great 24/7 support?
Thanks a billion

My WordPress Blog and Domain Nmae?
Here is the situation. I acquired a domain name and set up a host account with HostGator. Now although I have my WordPress blog up and running, it is still not showing under my domain name. I suppose I still have to tweak something between the host, my domain name and HostGator. Any solutions?
nosmirc flen says:
You need to point your domain name to hostgator nameservers. You do this thru whoever you registered your domain name with. Hostgator will have sent you this info (their nameservers – there are 2) in your activation email when you first signed up with them.
You need to go to the domain registrar, login, and change the nameservers. It can take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days to show up. Contact the registrar for instructions on where to do it.

Looking for a VPS…?
I’ve been using Godaddy’s shared hosting for a while, but as I’ve developed more sites that require more CPU usage, I’m thinking of getting a VPS to host my sites on, as shared hosting can’t handle my CPU intensive programs.
So, I’ve been looking around for a good VPS provider. Because I’ve been working with Godaddy, and there hasn’t been any problems with it (except some annoying customer support issues), it’s definitely on my list.
Another provider I’ve heard about is HostGator. One of my friends is using their shared hosting plan, and they have generally good reviews.
I’m asking here and not looking online, as it’s quite hard to get what seems like an unbiased opinion on hosting.
So, what’s your opinion on VPS providers? Thanks!
Mark says:
Slicehost and Linode are the most popular among developers.
Both have great features, are very fast and reliable and start from $20/month.

Facebook iFrames Help?
Hey there fellow Answerers,
I was hoping someone can help me with this little issue I am having.
I have a hosting account with Hostgator and I have a few subdomains as well as my main domain name within my account. The majority of them are already websites at the moment.
What I want to know is where do I add the directory to add any Facebook iFrames App’s I might complete? The reason I ask is that I have a lot of wordpress sites and I cannot work out where to add the folder to keep these iFrame Apps within the wordpress directory. I’m not sure if it is even possible?
Also I Would like to know if it is easier to just use a new domain PER iFrame App o rif I can keep multiple iFrame Apps inside one folder under different names (to create a different url link)
Also I would like one of my static websites to show a wordpress iFrame App, is that possible or do I need to buy a new domain and add a directory to that domain and link it to the page instead?
I hope this makes sense, I have been trying all day but to no avail so I would love it if someone could help me out here.
Many Thanks

Better to host from a local company?
I have an issue here. I have the .com and .co.uk domain names and i live in the united kingdom. I want good search engine rankings.
Should i get hosting from an American company like “hostgator” or a british one “123 reg”?
Seo Expert says:
You asked a very important question!
You should make that decision on where you want your clientele or visitors from.
Example: America clients go with american hosting company
UK clients go with Uk hosting company
I believe search results shift to the area you are from
*If you are trying to build clientele from both countries, I would suggest having both domain names pointing to your website.
