I have used both and, as shared hosts go, they are both good. I have encountered issues at both, but prefer HostMySite.
The one issue I had with CrystalTech that caused me to drop them entirely was with their process doing updates. HostMySite is good about notifying you when things like CF Updaters would be installed, but CT was not. They installed 7.0.1 without notice which had a bug whereby if you did argumentCollection=form or argumentCollection=url it would be broken. Well, I used this on every site I had hosted at CT (which was a fairly significant number at the time). CT support kept telling me they had not changed anything and that it was simply my code was broken - it took forever to get them to admit they had installed the update. That being said, my current site at HostMySite was very stable the first 6 months and now seems to go down a handful of times a day (based on my error reports and monitoring), which is probably due to some site on their that eats up CF resources but still really isn't acceptable. Bringing this up to HostMySite's support has not made much headway, and the initial improvement after the install of SeeFusion appears to have completely disappeared. So the net result from my little rant-ish post here is still HostMySite is better and CT is still decent, but neither comes without a list of problems that are just part of the pain of shared hosting. Which, btw, I am in the midst of setting up a VPS hosting situation for myself and getting away from these issues I hope. - Brian Rinaldi blog: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog ColdFusion Open Source List: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist Boston CFUG - http://www.bostoncfug.org Adobe Community Expert - http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/members/brian_rinaldi.html CFDJ Editorial Board - http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/general/editboard.htm - Brian Rinaldi blog: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/blog ColdFusion Open Source List: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/cfopensourcelist Boston CFUG - http://www.bostoncfug.org Adobe Community Expert - http://www.adobe.com/communities/experts/members/brian_rinaldi.html CFDJ Editorial Board - http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/general/editboard.htm >I've used both and personally prefer hostmysite.com. > >They just seem a little more responsive and quicker to do stuff.
