Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? @Liam:What is a "turn key solution?"Like I said I know nothing about server administration or working with Linux.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? 1. It's shared hosting.2. they cram as many users on a single machine as possible.3. Everyone shares an IP address. Again. this goes back to 1.4. Bluehost is a prime target for hackers, which means so is your data. and when the server gets tampered with and your website ends up being riddled with malware, Bluehost will blame you and disable your account. it has happened to me and others.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? Avoid bluehost like the plague. your best solution is to roll your own server with something like digital ocean. they have many turn key solutions and you won't have to deal with the shared web hosting garbage.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? First @Jack I've replied to the message.Unfortunately, I've heard some bad things about Bluehost in terms of that. I didn't understand what part of that song was saying, but I've heard other people tell me that they tend to charge you out the ass when your bandwidth starts going up.The one good thing about wordpress.com as it stands now is that with my 10 gb limit, I also get a 1gb max file size. Doubt I'll find that other places... but who knows, maybe? Either way, yeah I'm going to be really careful on this one.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? @TheGreatCarver Oh please. Whatever you do, don't recommend Bluehost. There have been multiple bad experiences from users and independent webhosts. The most hilarious of them being this song lampooning them written by, a certain, game developer.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? I would highly recommend Bluehost. Setting up WordPress was a breeze, when they say unlimited it appears they really mean unlimited, and their support staff are knowledgeable and helpful. I would, however, suggest that you transfer your domain to an independent registrar like Namecheap before you get a hosting plan so that unexpected things don't happen if you decide to change providers or expand.

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? I've tried HostGator, GoDaddy, and Bluehost. All of these are about the same in terms of features. All quite good in the services they offer imo! The problem with shared hosting is that there is always some hidden catch (i.e can't transfer more than a certain amount per upload, can't exceed certain bandwidth boundaries even though they say it's unlimited, etc). Just make sure to do your research ahead of time, and pick one that suits your needs. Some have an easy one click Wordpress deployment solution. Again, that's great, but just remember there might be some hidden limitation. I guess any service you "rent" from the internet is subject to limitations, including VPS. It's just up to you to figure out what you need. Honestly, if you start with either one of these aforementioned services, you can gauge whether bandwidth, storage, number of databases, etc are a potential issue. If you get a couple users downloading podcasts and visiting a few webpages a month, this might be enough. However, if you're listener base grows, especially your podcast listeners, you might find that you need a better solution, but that bridge can be crossed when you get there. But it is fun to experiment with different technologies. Hope you get things working because the StevenD podcast is pretty entertaining man!

Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Re: Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? You do want to be careful when you hear of hosting providers offering unlimited space for that cheap. Too often, those providers have a not so obvious 10mb per file upload limit. Perfect for text and images, horrible for audio and programs. That's their definition of unlimited. Migrating your Wordpress installation over to a new site should not cost you a dime, except it does if Wordpress Business costs $25. If you can get a trial of Wordpress business just to install and use Updraft Plus then I'd highly recommend that, as that was the solution we used when I was deployed to migrate a site over to a new hosting provider.To that end, I offer two solutions.a. www.qs-hosting.com. It's somewhat pricey, but you can rest assured that the 24/7 tech support and personable staff definitely make up for it.b. Check your pm's.

Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting?
Your recommendations and experiences with shared web hosting? Hi guys,So I've been considering migrating my wordpress install from wordpress.com, to a relatively low-cost shared web hosting solution. A, I'd like more than 10 gigabytes of storage, and b, I'd like the flexibility of wordpress plug-ins and custom code that I'd have to pay $25 a month for Wordpress.com's business plan to get.(What is it with people shoving their business plans now a days for stuff they're really not needed for? Looking at you also, dropbox)... mini rant over.I have been googling my options and looking at plans/pricing for some of the most popular webhosts (I know of Bluehost, Dreamhost, Siteground, and Host Gator but haven't looked at that one), but I also know that personal experience is a good way of determining how good something is.As it stands right now, Dreamhost is my most considered option, since for $2.59/mo I can have a site, a domain, unlimited storage, e-mail if I really want it for $1.67 more, and that's pretty much the extent of what I need. I'm not going to jump the gun yet since despite money back guarantees, I'm sure it'll cost me money to migrate my StevenD.net domain off of wordpress.com and to the new provider, so I want to be sure.Note: the option of hosting my own VPS and doing it that way is out of the window. I get that some of you do this and would highly recommend it, being that you can customize it literally to your liking 100%, but I have no experience with Linux or server administration, and don't want to bank my website on my first attempt at that. I have friends who will let me use their servers for things such as audio streaming, so that's fine by me. All I need here is a customizable website without wordpress.com's caps and a bit more storage space.Thanks in advance,Steve.
