Anyone recommend a reliable web host?

[Derek Cohen]

I need a new host for my website. My current provider is down again and backup service appears to have declined to zero.


Any recommendations?

I have had good luck with Host Monster. I have used them over 5 years. They are cheap to.

Derek, I have used Hostmonster for 4 years now as well with very good results.

I'm using Bluehost, which I believe is a sister company to Hostmonster. I've only been using it a few weeks, but it has been very good. Inexpensive, too.

I've been using DreamHost and have been satisfied. They've been reliable and have responded quickly when I had problems -even when the problems were because I'm not a web expert.

Not to hijack Derek's thread but I just signed up with 1&1. My problem is I am clueless about web sites. I am already disappointed it doesn't appear to do what I want without "upgrading" to a more expensive package. Hence is there a good source of "how to". I may pull the rest of my hair out. Well, all five of them anyway. :):) Thanks for posting this, Derek.

I'd get off 1and1 if you're still under their 30-day trial.

I tried them and found numerous problems with their service.

Hostgator has never let me down.

I've used bluehost for years. I think they do a good job and provide good service.

[Rick McQuay]

Been using Hostgator for years with no complaints.

I use a paid service with iPage.com for my woodworking site and a free service with weebly.com for my photography site.

Oddly enough the free site with weebly seems to have more features but their domain name cost is slightly higher...

Both use the same free site builder.

Cheers, Don

Thanks for all the references. I've been using a US-based host company, ReadyHosting, because my website is a .com. However I have found (this may be new) that Australian hosts will accept a .com as well. Consequently I have decided that it would be best to use a Perth-based company if I can or, at least, one that Australian for ease of communication (time differences make telephoning difficult).

My website is up again (for those that noticed it was down). I managed to sort this out myself - the present host's support was totally missing, which is the reason I must leave for a reliable company.

I've used myhosting.com for many years. Totally satisfied.

I went from bluehost to Simply Hosting for my genealogy website because they were less expensive by about half. So far its working well and the few problems I had initially were handled quickly by the staff there.

There is a local company here in Victoria called islandnet that has superb hosting. quite reasonable, and the main techs are still the owners.
