^^ You proved my point exactly :P. Your host seems great ( assuming it is yours because of your username ) but I am looking for UNBIASED opinions of hosting :P.

$1 isn't going to get you high priority support anywhere ;)

It sounds like your on a shared plan where the host has oversold.
I strongly support www.fluidhosting.com, might be worth a look if you care about up-time. :)

and you may want to check out www.webhostingtalk.com, it's a hosting forums.

If you're asking people of their opinions then it will be biased. Independent research groups will be your better bet if you're looking for unbiased results. :)

Anyway, If the offer is big but the price is small something doesn't equate.

As I have said a million times over. The packages and prices were a lot more reasonable then they are now with Site5. For instance I pay $15 a month for 5GB hosting and like 50GB Bandwidth. That is no where near as "too good to be true" as it is now with Site5.

Also, people can give their opinions on hosting companies without strictly endorsing their company. Most of the responses I have received so far have been just that. Just because you have a hosting plan with a specific host doesn't mean your biased to that one host. Are you getting paid to advertise for them? If not, then all you are doing is giving your honest opinion and feedback on your host. THAT is what I am looking for.

Do I sense a bit of frustration, bigcurt? :D

I'll chime in and say liquidweb.com provides professional support. I personally like their (24/7) phone support and not once have been disappointed. The representatives are patient and treat their customers as individuals rather than numbers. They'll do whatever they can to keep you a happy customer. While I use their VPS #2 plan I imagine that their service will be as professional as on any other plan.

They offer 3 types of shared plans ($14.95, $19.95 and $24.95 respectively) that all seem reasonable.

Just got home from like a 13 hour work shift..soo tired :P. Thanks a lot and I will look into them :).

I would like to second this post. I have used them for around 2 years total. I used them for their VPS1 plan, then switched to another host b/c I found one that was cheaper and I was struggling to save some money where I could. Big mistake b/c I didn't get anywhere near the quality of service and support with my new host. So, I switched back, went to their VPS2, then upgraded to a fully dedicated a few months ago. I'm very happy with liquidweb and have received nothing short of top notch support, 24 hours a day.

If you keep an eye out at www.webhostingtalk.com you can almost always find specials for their VPS and dedi servers which is how I got the great deal on mine. I highly recommend them! :up:

I run a small board compared to some of you, but I have been using wiredhub.net for a long time, and have never had any problems at all.

There is the thing, I have had several servers and had good/bad comments about all of them. Atm I am on a clustered netfirms server. It is probably the best server I have had up to now but it still sucks ass at times. Yes I get db errors and they can take a while to get fixed. I have had a dedicated server which really sucked ass and i got cast out eventually . Running VB boards after they get past 100gb a month is not simple. Bear in mind your host might not have run many of them and if you persevere you may help others as they will know the problems after you fix them for later reference. It has took me a few months to get mine settled but now i would give netfirms 4 stars, if you had asked me a week ago I would have gave them 1. Have patience grasshopper. Rome wasn't built in a day
