New web host needed!

**Rumble** · 07-24-10, 12:42 AM

I really need everyone's help. I am sick of godaddy.com and need a new host for my website.

I need low cost but good customer service. Don't need tons of storage or bandwidth.

Suggestions?

Thx in advance!!

I use 1and1, and have friends on siteground, hostgator, and media temple. All with positive recommendations.

I've used 1and1 until they decided to think the poor performance I was getting could only be remedied by upgrading my plan. It worked for 2 years before that fine. Now I'm with BlueHost.

The main thing I love about them is the simplicity of their control panel. As I said I have been the "webslave" for sites hosted on godaddy, media temple, and hostgator, and I think their cpanels are all crap. I have never had any real issues with 1and1, but I know a buddy of mine did.

My only issue with them was when my site performance degraded to the point I couldn't use my site anymore. It's a basic PHP photo gallery software that was running fine. They oversold the number of sites on my host and wanted me to pay for a dedicated host which was 20 times more expensive. Was easier to switch to BlueHost.

Yeah, that is pure crap.

My requirements for a host were that I had direct access to the box not some crappy control panel. I wanted to be able to login to the box and manage my code directly on the box. That was my main goal.
