Go Daddy vs. Westhost?
 

I currently have Go Daddy and, quite frankly, am at my wits end with them...

I have been eyeballing Westhost.com, they seem to have really good prices and the guy I spoke to was really cool (nice). But I don't want to trade cost for quality. Does anyone have any insight on Westhost?

Thanks...

I have now five websites running by westhost.
They have a really good support ( also running a vbulletin support forum) and a lot of features.
You can run your own software of use the pre install software from westhost ( very updated)
All the accounts are VPS.
I think must better that Go Daddy ;)

Thanks for the comments. I am switching to Westhost either today or tomorrow. I just got to get my game plan down on the cross-over.

"But I don't want to trade cost for quality."

Do you consider GoDaddy hosting as quality???

Marco, I see that you comming from the Netherlands. ( ik dus ook)
Before i switch to westhost i have hosting site by Demon and Dutchwebhosting here
I now running for one year sites by westhost and i must say excellent!
Mutch better support than in the Netherlands.
If you speak about the price it's cheap too ,ofcourse that's pretty:)

Best regards ( vriendelijke groet):up:

Please forgive me but I'm not knocking westhost, just curious! For there top Personal Value Plan, they give you 130GB Bandwidth for the month, for some reason this doesn't seem like much but running a forum with this amount of bandwidth, how many members/visitors would this handle per month before crapping out?

also! the price seems kind of Low for a VPS $9.95 if you pay infull for 2yrs, $14.95 month by month...... I've seen VPS go for $50.00 and up per month, this usually throws a red flag up telling you to keep away...

aberg, what type of control panel do they give you to use with your VPS?

cant be bad as godaddy, i'll be leaving them soon. i wish i read all the posts about godaddy before.

I just started an account with Westhost, I'll give them a try for a year, right now I own 2 separate shared accounts with vodahost, My jeep forum runs nice and smooth while my 2nd F o r u m runs like it's always under heavy load, never really compland about it buy my renewal runs out in 22 days, I won't be renewing... I'll try to keep an update on how my VPS runs

What is the specific problem everyone is having with Go Daddy? I have been thuroughly pleased with the service I've had with them for over a year now. I get 250 gig bandwidth, 5 gig space, 500 email accounts, 10 MySQL databases, and excellent customer support and all of this is on the $4/monthly economy plan!

Do a search. You will find several problems that people have had. It may be working for you now - that's excellent... Personally, I have just heard way too many horror stories to trust it.
