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.
