We jut left GoDaddy after just two bery bad months with them.  If you 
want a shared account, I suspect you'll be fine, but our virtual 
dedicated server experience was a nightmare!

Hi folks,

I am unhappy with my current hosts, they let me down far too often in terms
of downtime, error/problems, prompt customer support, etc.

I have around 25 websites for various clients who host through me.
Hopefully more in the future.

Who do you recommend?

I am looking at GoDaddy - what are people's experiences with them?


They are great for domain name registration.


  Should I
purchase their reseller's package or is that overkill?  Should I look at the
virtual dedicated server option?  It seems good value, but I have no
interest in maintaining a server myself.


If you aren't into maintaining a server yourself, a dedicated or
virtual dedicated server will end up costing lots of $ for support.

Shared hosting with a reseller plan is a very good choice for most
people with multiple web sites to host.


I'm not looking forward to the headaches of moving, but I have to make the
move, even if I do it gradually.  Obviously I don't really want to be paying
full fare at both.


Moving is a PITA fer sure, doing it gradually means extending the time
that you will get calls from *some* clients because they are impatient
waiting for the DNS changes to go through...a matter of personal taste I
'spose...

I like these guys, they keep their servers at ThePlanet.com which is a
company out of Texas that has MASSIVE connectivity. You can get a
reseller plan for them through a company called Hostgator out of Florida
- good people that have grown a lot in the past few years but unlike a
lot of companies they keep hiring support staff - that's a good thing.

The Aluminum reseller plan will probably be enough for you, easy to
upgrade.

No, I don't work for them. Have used them myself though, and still keep
a few domains running with them even though I've moved up to dedicated
boxes with ThePlanet myself.

I've used GoDaddy for our family's website for a couple of years now and
have been completely happy with them.  I don't build a lot of webs for
other people but would host them with GoDaddy without a second thought.

I absolutely love dreamhost.com. I've been through my fair share of hosting 
companies and they are the best by far. Before you buy anything, google for 
their discount codes. You can save up to $90-something if you have the codes.

Don't bother with the dedicated server option as Mark's already said - if 
you don't support it yourself it'll cost a fortune.


I personally would recommend 34sp.com despite the little niggle I had with 
them recently. Have a look at their reseller package and see what you think. 
As I'm based in the UK I've yet to find anybody that can touch these guys 
for reliability and cost.

Until I started hosting the sites myself, I was also a 34sp.com customer.  

I guess that makes me fourthed!

PS - For what it's worth, I have heard that GoDaddy.com is decent too...
