Remember Motor Trend magazine picked the Chevy Vega as car of the year in
1972. Today the Chevy Vega routinely is in the top 10 of the worst cars in
history. I watched a movie reviewer for a local television station say that
Star Wars was one of the worst movies of the year. They later fired him for
being an idiot. I read a review of Word Processors and it listed Mass-11 as
the best word processor ever beating out WordPerfect 4 and Word. Mass-11 for
the younger crowd is the worlds only word processor written in Fortran.
It often times gets down to the old school yard saying, "My dad can beat up
your dad." I wouldn't put much faith in these rankings. Asking people on
this list what are their experiences with hosting companies will probably
yield a better set of hosts that can meet your needs then looking at some
arbitrary ranking.
Fortunately there are many to choose from, pick one and if it doesn't work
out, there are plenty more to choose from.
Good Luck,
- Steve

I do not wish to get into an argument with you over the virtues of
intermedia however in contrast to your comments I find it interesting that
www.cfhub.com voted it 3 our of top 5 best cf hosts for this month and it
with rank 5th last month. ??
I welcome your comments

Ick...I moved away from Intermedia...I had LOTs of problems with my mail
server/web server being unreachable for hours at a time. THey could never
explain the problems. There connection speed was always totally random.
One minute I'd be blazing, then the next pages would timeout. Very
inconsistent. I mean, the internet in general is not all that constant, but
this was REALLY inconsistent. I had times when a simple username/password
validation to a SQL datasource took 4.5 minutes to execute.
That all being said, Intermedia's signup process is slick as can
be...totally automated, all login and control info sent via e-mail as soon
as you sign up...web directories generated instantly upon signup...if you're
moving domains, they give you your IP to browse to until the DNS switch.
They have a pretty nifty control panel for managing datasources, your
webserver, mail server, mail boxes, etc., though it can be a little
confusing trying to find charges and billing info.
The other thing that I REALLY didn't like, is that you can go into the
charging section, and it gives you a history of your billing, including FULL
credit card number. I have issue with them making it that easy to display
the credit card number I'm using for hosting. That should be on a separate
server, and at the very least, they should be transferring PART of the CC
number from one server to the other, internally. JMHO...
Connecting to the control panel IS on a secure connection, so I guess I'm
just overly paranoid...
