looking for a new host

[ajm4481]

Hey I am currently seeking a new host and am wondering whta you guys use and how well it works.

I use netfirms currently, and the performance is horrible imo. When a few people get on I have access problems, database problems and it just is not going well..

I have thought of maybe yahoo hosting or 1&1...

Any ideas? Recomednations??

Thanks
Adam

Please let us know more about your database size, forum etc so that we can suggest you the hosting for you.

Topic starter already stated that he is limiting his choice to these 2 hosts. Why do some people continue to suggest other hosts?

HostGator is great, but please be aware that if you try to cancel they will go to extremes to keep you there. Took me days to finally be canceled.. They even called me at like 11:30 PM on a Thursday night.

I asked for a refund, they gave it to me, and then asked multiple times that I pay my invoice (the one that I just got refunded) <_<

i am currently using yahoo and am in the process of switching to hostgator. i have read some great things about hostgator on this board and also some negatives about them as well. yahoo had more problems than it was worth for me, many times i issues with my database that i just had no control over, i had to open a trouble ticket with yahoo and just wait for them to fix it. 24-48 hours was the normal time it took for them to fix the issue. um, i also have a small customer base, only about 40-50 active users and 10-15 on at any given time, and almost like clockwork the site would slow down on sundays all day and once or twice during the weekdays.
good luck

If you have a large forum, you will run into mySQL connection limits on either HostGator or Yahoo. If you run a small to medium forum, both will work great for you.

You should probably answer these questions before I can help you:
1) How many domains?
2) Bandwidth, growth requirements?
3) How many databases?

Once you answer that then you can decide on shared, VPS, Dedicated, etc.

I was at netfirms and it was the biggest mistake I ever made, EVERYTHING about them is appalling. I moved to http://www.mjwebhosting.com/ and everything is fine now, he even did the move for me me so a big thumbs up.

[Lpspider]

He probably has a new host by now...
