A really good hosting for a medium-sized website

[Andy_Miller]

Hello everybody!

I desperately need a new GOOD ISP.

This is what I need:
-NOT very expensive;
-Unix\Linux\FreeBSD;
-PHP/MySQL;
-Cron support;
-Protected directories;
-Web-mail;
-High bandwidth;
-Good customer support, of course.

Reason? My site was down too often and the number of visitors was too unpredictable. It jumped from 400 to 60 within one week. I ordered a profound examination of my web-site at http://www.dotcom-monitor.com (website and network monitoring company). In their report the following reasons were mentioned:
-"Slow Website Response"
-"Slow Web Page Response"
-"Varying Website Response from Different Geographical Locations"

I'm sure it is Extcom's (my current provider) fault, but communication with the Customer Support brings only promises and excuses. This persuades me that it's high time to move my site to a completely different place.



Your advice? I have two companies in view but ALL your recommendations are welcomed

Hmm. You could try www.realwebhost.net - hear good things about them quite a bit.

I can second that, They have excellent service and I'm happy with them as my host.

Is this shared or dedicated? If you want dedicated sparkservers.net or shared starlighthosting.net it's sister company.

They barely give you any bandwidth at realwebhost.

I host my own sites but for others I suggest:

http://iminteractive.net/affordable-hosting.php

I would normally suggest 1AND1 because of their price and service but they screwed me by sending a collection agency after me for money I paid them months ago! Now I have a collection/debt on my credit report for something I paid for, and 1AND1 will not answer their phone and no reply to my e-mail in a week. I say stay away from 1and1.
