I know this has been asked before, but I%26#039;ve searched many web sites and reviews and I%26#039;m still confused. So, I%26#039;ve narrowed it down to Hostmonster, Bluehost, and Lunarpages. I%26#039;m a pretty technical guy, but I%26#039;m looking for a reliable web host for multiple domains that some will use databases. I%26#039;m not so concerned about a %26quot;simple%26quot; web site creator, as opposed to one that follows the HTML %26amp; CSS standards. I was going to go with 1%26amp;1 after seeing their huge ads in PC Magazine until I read the reviews. Thus, I%26#039;m not so concerned about cheap, just a service that is reliable, professional, and popular. In other words, what service would a developer recommend and use?
Thanks,
Brett

This is what concerns me: http://www2.jeffcroft.com/blog/2006/feb/...And then I just happened to stumble across DreamHost: http://www.dreamhost.com/aboutus.html. They are employee-owned, which in and of itself impresses me about a company. Any customer reviews on this company? )
There are a ton of paid web hosts out there, and my husband and I exhausted ourselves researching them before making a decision to go with HostExcellence for this site and another one we run. Ultimately, it came down to the fact that we were getting tired and we liked HostExcellence%26#039;s plans for mulitple domains and the fact that they had a site builder with tons of customizable templates (many of them do, but some of the good ones on the review lists don%26#039;t). My husband doesn%26#039;t use the site builder for his -- he does his own code. I use the site builder until I%26#039;m more proficient on Nvu. We also liked the amount of storage and bandwidth we were given, among other things. I haven%26#039;t had a complaint yet, and we%26#039;ve been customers since October 2005. They have excellent 24/7 live chat support that helps me all the time with just about any issue you can imagine. Whenever a service has been down (which has only been a few times), it%26#039;s either back up before I have a chance to ask about it or it%26#039;s resolved before I get off live chat with them. They have a ton of tools at your service, we have more e-mails available than we%26#039;ll ever use, and more bandwidth and storage space than we%26#039;ve come close to dipping into. They have ftp storage and a really easy thing called webshell that makes it pretty simple to do ftp stuff. Php boards, databases, etc. are all available. Good luck! http://www.hostexcellence.com/templates/... 100% 1 Vote 0% 0 Votes 0% 0 Votes
