[H-GEN] Web hosting recommendations

[Ronald Bradford]

Michael,

Are you seeking a dedicated host, or simply hosting space on  a sever?  
Here is my 2 cents of recommendations.

For dedicated servers, I use http://ev1servers.net/ and highly recommend 
them. 
I've been with them for my own dedicated server for about 2 years now, 
my server currently has been up 160+ days (the only reason it went down 
was scheduled maintenance to install remote rebooting capability to the 
server).  In terms of capacity of disk/memory/bandwidth I use nothing of 
my 1TB of transfer per month. 24x7 technical support, usually able to 
chat online with no issues in getting a resolution.
I've installed 6-8 servers for clients with this provider. All servers 
bar one here are standard OS installs, however as per request of the 
current client, the most recent server is running cPanel. (so I've had 
to learn do manage things the GUI way, which sucks for me, as I'm a CLI guy)

I also have a server at http://www.1and1.com  Works just a well, I've 
found support not as good, but they are cheaper.
In the past 3 years, I also installed, managed and supported dedicated 
servers with http://www.burst.net/, http://www.actionweb.com/ and 
http://www.cee-kay.net  however I would not recommend them.

If you are looking more for cPanel on a shared server I highly 
recommend  http://turnkeyresellers.com/ 
While I have not used these people personally, I have worked closely 
with somebody that does use them and has for some time.  They provide 
all that is needed to manage your own domains under cPanel. The greatest 
recommendation from this provider is the support, excellent and 
technical, and forums current, providing accurate information, and well 
used by the technical support of the  provider.

Regards

Ronald Bradford
