Go Daddy vs. Westhost? Details »»
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
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... Show Your Support

I used Westhost in the past when i started my site. I had their top tier VPS plan. Their support was terrible. I had pending tickets that went up to two weeks before getting resolved, sometimes even answered. They kept pushing the ticket up the ladder, finally to one guy who didn't even want to help. Basically told me to leave. My $29.99 per month is nothing to them. They rather have a new customer who doesn't require support.
With that said, if your hosting just a regular HTML site, then your probably fine. Forget about running a forum. They pack their servers. I moved to PowerVPS after Westhost. Their support is top notch. I was with PowerVPS for two years, but just moved to a dedicated because my site was too big for their top VPS plan. 500-600 members on at one time now...so the issues that I had with PowerVPS was because of my site growing very quickly.

DO NOT BUY DOT5HOSTING. If you don't believe me just google "dot5hosting" and some of the 1st results will be saying how much it sucks. My site goes down all the time for no reason. I email them and everytime their response is, "it's fine now", cuz by the time they reply it auto fixes itself. Also , some of their SQL servers ran out of memory on the partition and they have no tech support on the weekend so my forums were down all weekend ;-(

I don't know what your problems where at Westhost but they have help me very good. Also a good support forum where you can get good support from them. Ofcourse if there are bugs or problems with installed software on the server they susspend the account. But before that you get a warning messages and if needed support for the problem. I don't know what normal is in your country but here in the Netherlands it is directly susspend without any warning. I take a look on PowerVPS.com. It's not fair to compair them because there is a big difference in price between this two hosters. The only thing what for me important is is the price in combination with the possibility on the server. They update regular the server software and you can choose if you want to install this. A least you get always a email for activity on the server. As you see i'am very satisfied with Westhost
