Considering a New Web Host

28th April 2009

posted in blogging |

Over the past 4 or 5 months, I’ve had a number of issues with my current web host and it has not only been frustrating, but very disappointing as well. I pay for a service and for the customer support that should come along with that service, but I don’t feel I’ve received the quality I deserve in either of those areas with the company I’m using right now.

So, while making my decision as to what I’m going to do, I’m doing some webhosting research and I’m particularly interested in what other customers, especially bloggers, have to say about this issue. I know that I’m not the only one who has suffered at the hands of their web host, and I’d also like to hear positive experiences, something which I have not experienced lately. I’m not necessarily impressed by web hosting awards, but I am extremely interested in the experience, good and bad, that other bloggers have had.

A couple of months ago, I actually reached a level of frustration that made me seriously consider leaving the blogging world all together. I do however really enjoy blogging and I’ve “met” so many other bloggers with similar interests and great blogs. I would miss everyone and not having my blog would take away my ability to show-and-tell my creations!

So, I will continue to check out sites like webhostingrating.com to help me to make my decision, and, in the mean time, let me know your thoughts!

I have had trouble myself with blogger lately but not sure about a web host. Maybe I need to look into that too.

I have been very pleased with Pappashoppe – I looked into many hosting sites and I wanted one that I could call and talk to a human. They have been very helpful and I feel they were very competitive in pricing. I pay an annual fee (saves a little bit) about $120.00 annual (I think).

I am using hostgator and I am extremely happy with them. I have several sites, all in one account, and the support is superb, no downtime, price is good, especially considered that I am having more than one domain I love also their live chat, nothing better to solve a problem quickly! I am with them now since nearly 2 years and wouldn’t change for nothing! I don’t want to spam your blog with referral links, but their is a banner for them on my site if you want to check them out SY
