After a 3 week nightmare with IMHOSTED.CON I could use suggestions for reliable US hosting company. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

http://www.byzhosting.com/

I have them host all my websites i make and do for bussiness

highly reccomneded.

www.powweb.com

1000MB space
5GB bandwidth a DAY (around 150GB/month)
PHP, Perl5, Sendmail, CGI-BIN, SSI, .htaccess, cronjobs, mySQL, etc
650 POP3/IMAP email address + Webmail
24/7 FTP (up to 10 FTP users)

http://www.powweb.com/webhosting.htm for more information

$7.77/month

Yeah I vote for powweb too

http://www.securemate.net/

Best tech support ever, not only that, you can't argue with 3GB space and unlimited transfer (literally) for $25/month!

Me and my friend host about 10 domains on one account.

I would not recommened them. My friend, who purchased hosting from this company had the worst experience ever. I had administrative access as well to this and it was horrible.

Powweb hosting periodically turned off and on, the sql and databases went offline several of times, it was slow most of slow sometimes (and he didn't host files or anything and it's not a traffic sucking website), and the experience was horrible. Tech support claimed so many times to solve the problem but never solved it, even on threats to cancel. Well he finnaly did cancel.

You can go ahead and get that hosting if you want-- Good luck.

You get what you pay for.

I've tried numerous $5-10 hosts and all 6 or 7 of them were not perfect... Or very good for that matter.

I never had any problems with them. From what Vassil told me it didn't sound like he really had any either. I think he hosts several websites there.

The site I listed is $5/month [if you pay annually]. But they have a lot of other good plans. For $5 a month you get

and they have GREAT 24/7 techsupport. Never offline. Rarly had problems, and when I have had probs, the techsupport have replyed within 1-5, 10minutes at most.

Exactly. Being in the web developing business for several years, that's just the fact. There's no other way arround it.

BTW, agissi, what host are you talking about? Got a link?




If it's too good to be true, it is.

Most problems occur with features such as mySQL. If you dont use those kinds of features you probably wont notice problems but on a rare blue moon. (With any webhosting)

I am looking for a reasonable priced site to host my company website.

A friends son built one as a college project but says it is too complicated for me to edit and use.

He is probably right.

I have purchased Serif web plus 8 for £9.99 which is ok. I have constructed a site and now need to upload it somewhere.

any suggestions.

my other problem is that the site that was created is still there and the kid has gone travelling so what can I do to delete the original.

The name is stouen.co.uk as my company is St Ouen Property Services Ltd.

I have vehicles with this name on so I need it to work.

Much of the site that the lad produced was fine for his college but is not what I need.
any help appreciated... yet again....

I'd try www.freewebsitehosting.com

I doubt he wants sometime with Ads and very limited bandwidth Akio (this would be something free).

The best hosting I've ever dealt with, and what I host all my sites on now, is www.byzhosting.com. Great Site, with CPanel you get all these features at your finger tips, that are just a few clicks away if you want it to install them to your site:

This is apparently your own site. Contact the people below, they can tell you how to get into that website. You will need to obtain the login and password information.

As to your upload-problem, an FTP-program like the free "CoffeeCup Free FTP 3.0" is available here: http://www.tucows.com/preview/195147.html

It will let you delete/download existing stuff, and let you upload/replace new stuff.

For FTP I normally use the built-in FTP functions from Ontrack's Powerdesk Pro V5, which is a superior form of Windows Explorer.
It lets you copy/cut & paste files for FTP just like Exlorer.

Hey all many thanks. I am digesting it all, Yes I dont need the freestuff with popups etc.

I also recieved this today and it may be fron the site hosting the site.


Dear Peter,
As you may have heard in the press and from shareholder communications, Host Europe Plc has recently been acquired by PIPEX Communications Plc. This marks an important milestone in the history of Host Europe and strengthens our standing as one of the UK's leading Internet Hosting companies.

We feel that PIPEX and Host Europe's product ranges are highly complementary, and will enable all of our customers to take advantage of a faster enhanced network infrastructure, and additional Data Centres in Leeds, Manchester (XTML) and London (Harbour Exchange).

In the near future you will also be able to benefit from a broader product portfolio - including hosting, connectivity, security products, voice services and managed services - letting you outsource all your Internet products from one trusted source.

Following on from this acquisition Host Europe Plc will shortly delist from the London Stock Exchange AIM market and undergo a programme of re-branding, changing our name from Host Europe Internet Ltd to PIPEX Communications Hosting Ltd.

Day-to-day the most obvious change will be that invoices and letters will carry the PIPEX branding. You will of course continue to receive the same high standard of service that you have come to expect from Host Europe.

Your current account manager, contact details for sales and technical support and contracts will remain the same, and for most customers payment details will also remain unaffected. Only customers paying by cheque need amend their payment details, as specified on upcoming invoices.

Looking to the future

Our vision is to take the best processes, services and support and replicate these across our entire organisation, underpinning your business with access to the best people, support, services and infrastructure at all times. Our goal remains to deliver world-class hosting and telecommunications services, and we believe that these changes will ultimately benefit all of our customers.

If you require additional information explaining more about this change and the positive impact it will have on your organisation, we have a set of FAQ's which can be accessed from your control panel or by clicking on the following link http://www.hosteurope.com/hosteuropepipexfaq.html.

If you have any further questions or comments - regarding any aspect of our business, please do not hesitate to get in touch. You can contact us directly or email us on suggestions@pipex.net.

Your continued support and feedback will ensure that we work in partnership with you to deliver the highest levels of service and support to your organisation today and in the future.

Yours sincerely,

I do have some passwords that the lad sent and can only try them , He never specified where they were for.

Once again thanks

POWWEB.COM

Looks like spam? :\

Powweb is cheap, but you get what you pay for most the time.

Never had a problem with them. Fast, good support, a great support forum, lots of space, etc.
