a46geo Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Can anyone recommend a GOOD web host? My new one stinks. I had Burlee for 3 years, no problem. Then they were bough out by Interland. I had Interland for 3 years, no problem. Then they were bought out by Web.com I have had Web.com for two weeks and in that period of time my site has been down more than it has been up and I can no longer connect with it because they have lost Front Page extensions.

kurt Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 I use a cheap local company (Evanston, IL) called VirtuoCities, or something like that. Aren't there cheap local vendors by you?
DonTx Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 I have several sites on different host. Just make sure the package you get is a Dedicated IP. www.acehost.com www.ev1.net/english/hosting/index.asp www.xiwebhosting.com www.globat.com This should get you started.
Terence McCann Posted July 26, 2006 Report Posted July 26, 2006 Hi George: I really like http://www.alamode.com/ Maybe one day I'll learn Dreamweaver and go it on my own... not very high on the list at this point in time.
a46geo Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Posted July 27, 2006 I'm sure there pobably are local companies, but I have not even thought to look for any. I have my web site back now but they lost 1/2 of it. I know what is missing, I just can't figure out how to put it back. I'm going to drop these people as soon as I can, before it happens again. Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate the feed back.
Paul MacLean Posted July 28, 2006 Report Posted July 28, 2006 George, I had good results using http://www.deadlock.com/ for my web site hosting, design work and promotion. The main guy is in Great Britain, but email communication was not a problem. Now that I have retired and my web site is off the web, I'm willing to share this.[:-angel] I thought the fees were reasonable and about 50% of my business came through my web site. Paul in Austin
Scottpat Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 I have been with Yahoo for around six or seven years. Servers are never down, changes are easy and their reports are fairly simple to compile and read. I had another site on Simplenet, they were good also. Both of them have been around for a very long time and will most likely stay around. Are they the cheapest, No but you tend to get what you pay for.
