We currently host 47 of our websites with Rackspace on one server and our email on another server. We are looking to build more websites and being a real estate company & just getting into doing all of our web development & marketing in house; finding resources like this make it easier for us to make decisions about where to host & what kinds of things to look out for when searching for hosting. Thanks!!!

What are your thoughts about Bluehost? I’m currently using them but I just started my website. I literally have two articles and no traffic……YET! If it won’t live up to what I eventually need it to, I’d like to switch.

Yes, I completely agree with Anne! I’m totally all the way about Hostgator coz 24h per day you can ask for help and they always are there!

When I was upset with GoDaddy complexity last year I changed my host to Hostgator and since then newer looked back. Recommended definitely!

It is allways the same. Here in germany it is not that common as in the U.S. I had a hosting account with hostgator that was got me bacause of the cheap monthly payments with almost all the available features. But after a few days you realize that this is a really slow server as you have to share it with many other people (too many, I know its shared hosting, but oftentimes the hostimecompanies overdu it)
Lession is: You alwas get what you pay for.

Yes, a horrible thing to get snagged with. And as you say “make decisions based on the details that will affect you the most.” applies not just to hosting, but to so much more…and to life! :-)

I have to agree, cause some hosting is just terrible. I was originally with host gator back when I first built a site, well after geocities that is, then due to the “cost” thing, I switched to Arvixi, then to JustHost, etc… and right now, I can’t wait to get back to hostgator. They had great support, offered what I needed and my site was faster on their setup.

Hostgator has been hosting my WordPress site for a few years with no problems and great support. I’d say it’s the best web host I’ve used and I’ve used several (all good ones).
