So after reading this article I signed up for a reseller account with UK2. That was a week ago. They still haven’t been able to set up my account properly, half the links in my control panel don’t work at all… I could go on. Got an email today telling me that they had finally gotten my client billing software installed correctly, so I go log into the control panel again, click on my desired link…. and NOTHING. Glad I didn’t try to transfer all of my clients, and have only lost my own website for a week. If all my clients’ sites were down for a week like mine has been, they would fire me, which is why I’m firing MidPhase/UK2 immediately. What a joke.

I have had nothing but great experience with Domatic in fact in 6 years i have not been down even for a minute, many of my friends sites go up and down, they have fixed things with my code that even my programmer did not know how to fix. The support guys there reply in minutes not days. Just my 2cents i have tried yahoo, and media temple to no avail. I personally dont care about how they pronounce my name and well my settings i back up myself.

I’m with MediaTemple and I think they’re great.

I do notice slow sites every now and then, but nothing major.

I am using other web hosting for my website at the moment. It is pretty good for wordpress and I think it is fast enough for a shared web hosting. Please feel free to visit and join the discussion. But, I didn't know Ann Hosting is that good, If you guys have preferred it, it might be my next web host. Thanks for the information.

I’ve used many host for both private use and for companies I have worked for.

ICDsoft I have been hosting my portfolio site with for almost 7 years and they have been great for the size of site that I have (not very big). They’re always current with the versions of PHP and MySQL, and have even upgraded my plan(bandwidth and hosting size) a couple times throughout the years without charging me more!!! I thought that right there was just plain awesome. And their prices are very affordable. Though my only gripe is that you can’t(or I haven’t found an easy way) install an dedicated (read:not shared) SSL certificate. And they’re support is mainly handled through http://www.suresupport.com which is ok for finding quick generic answers but not so much when doing more complex things. And i love their control panel software(cPanel).

IXWebHosting I’ve had great experiences with too including their support which is top-notch! And prices are reasonable too. Not a big fan of their control panel(hSphere). But ehh, its not that bad.

Hosts that I wouldn’t recommend include MediaTemple(their GS server was horrible, but their DV server was ok though it went down quite a bit) , 1&1, and Web.com.

I have used all of those hosting companies and you are spot on. They all start out good but soon go downhill. I am in need of a change as well. Fatcow has been alright but the ten thirty down time ever day is a bit frustrating lol.

It’s such a breath of fresh air to see someone talking about the hosting company I love. I am telling you now, there is no better host than AnHost/MidPhase!! I’ve been with them for over FIVE years and have not once regretted my decision. I would say about a year or so ago they did some upgrades and O. M. G. My reseller account speeds went from nice to blazing fast! I mean fast as in it felt like I was sitting right next to the server when FTPing and requesting pages. Seriously, that’s not an exaggeration.

Their support is great. I’ve always gotten an answer to my questions within minutes. Cost is unbeatable as well. Just a rockstar web host that seems to get over-shadowed by the likes of MT and other “look how hip we are” hosts.
