Who do you guys use? I have been using Valueweb for about 10 years now. I have become realy dis-satisfied with their service and price and am considering the move to godaddy.com Anyone using these people? |

I was involved in hosting a little. Something hosts do is oversell. They show you these huge numbers for bandwidth and hard drive space, but count on you using a small fraction of it. It's called overselling. You can have unlimited bandwidth because chances are, you'll use a couple megabytes a day. I still have my own server, but I always recommend eleven2.com. Great prices and great, reliable service. They also don't oversell. The numbers you see are real. And because they have so few accounts per server compared to places like GoDaddy, the servers run extremely fast because they're resources are more than likely free. |

I've been using Top Class Host (topclasshost.com) for over three years. Fast and reliable, great customer service. At $5.95/mo with 2 gigs storage and 100 gigs bandwidth, it's likely way more than I'll ever use. Lots of nice bells and whistles go with the account, too. Best, Michael |

Just for reference, guys, how much storage and bandwidth should one look for? Has anyone had to upgrade because he didn't have enough? |

I believe 1gb of storage is massive for a personal or small site. On my personal site, I have a music player that streams a lot of music, and people download little movies I make too; so I use about 5gb of bandwidth a month, way more than a typical small site. I think most people will be ready with room to grow with 1gb of storage and a few gig of bandwidth. Thankfully, most plans now offer a lot more than that. |

Welp, godaddy's got my hosting service beat pricewise. But only by a couple of bucks. But Top Class Host has been good to me, always promptly answering email queries when I've had them and they've been reliable, so I think I'll stay where I am. Whichever way you go, current hosting plans offer enough storage and bandwidth to handle anything one of use is likely ever to need. I suspect even Lance doesn't come close to 100 gigs/mo (or 250 with godaddy) bandwidth with this site. Best, Michael |

I have used a number of hosters over the years...many went belly up after the Dot Com implosion, being stuck with too much capacity after spending big bucks building out. Up until a year ago I would have recommended a company like Interland because of their high uptime. Now I use GoDaddy for domain reservation and a mix of GoDaddy and 1&1...they are in a tight competition so it is useful to bring up the other when negotiating with either. Occasionally each will offer incentives for people moving to them so get on the email list for both to take advantage of short time offers. |

I was with ValueWeb for about 10years. They weren't cheap but reliable. Then one day my emails started coming back to me from several different accounts saying that the "mail was undeliverable". After some investigation Ifound out that these sites were blocking ValueWeb clients because of some bad Valueweb customers who were spamming. So we all got blocked. I contacted VW and they basically told me "too bad...". So I moved to GoDaddy...nice people, very friendly...but I use Front Page to design and update my site. For some reason, I can no longer log onto my godaddy account and upload via F.P. I just can't log in...F.P. asks me for the username and password...I put it in...It comes right back asking again. No one at GoDaddy is able to help...
My resolve, I suppose, is to higher the local C.H. at $75/hr.

Dave: Can you log in using regular FTP, through a stand alone program or Internet Explorer? -Mark |

Yes I can log in using FTP, with IE browser. Can also using FTP with FrontPage but then I get error because files containing "_" must be renamed... I guess FTP doesn't like or read the "_". So I am bumped out and can not upload to my site. I also know that my site's FP extensions aren't all working properly as my page counter doesn't work. |
