Web Hosting Reviews

1. 1and1 Dedicated Server Review

I have, been with 1and1 for over a year now and have always found their service to be very good. I started out with their Business-Pro shared account and once I can to the end of my 1 years free web hosting I decided that I may as well bite the bullet, pay the extra and upgrade to a dedicated machine.

2. Go Daddy

You're in a business, you are trying to reach people with your website. In having a website you need hosting, so why not use some of the best hosting with the best deals using a Go Daddy code? Of course with the internet you are getting your face out there for the world to see. In having a website you are promoting your business but also so much more. You are also promoting everything about your business. The thing is many websites fail for one reason or another and one main reason is poor hosting. You want to make sure you pick the business website hosting that will suit your needs and not fall apart when you get busy. It's easy to learn how to do great and successful business on the internet but if you're hosting goes down or disappears it could be a very long time to get you back to where you were.

3. Web Fusion Server

I could write reams about this, but just search on Google for 'Webfusion downtime' or 'Pipex downtime' and you'll get the idea. My own blog is currently at #1 in a long list of angry resellers and webmasters.  In my opinion it is all down to part of the agreement that essentially, and in places literally, states that if there are problems it is YOUR responsibility to point it out to them, and if it's their fault, tough, they are not liable, even if they or their staff are negligent!  Truth, read the small print of their Terms & Conditions!

4. UK2 Woes

Good Points: Very cheapUK BasedTechnical support is quite good and often prompt to respond   Bad Points: Server security infrastructure very unstable and easy to hack, which caused perpetual problems in the shape of php restrictions.Customer support is appalling.UK2 Billing system very insecure, which leaves it open to credit card fraudCompletely unsuitable hosting for businesses of any kind General comments: I was attracted to UK2 because of the special offer they were running on their Ecommerce package (half price for the year). I wish I had never seen their offer, because since getting involved with them I have had nothing but trouble. Their shared AND dedicated servers are riddled with security flaws, so you end up with php errors all over the place. To resolve them you need to raise a support ticket and wait for the technical team to respond. To their credit, they are fairly prompt and helpful, but after your 10th ticket in one week, it's just embarrassing.My worst criticism of UK2 though has to be their personal data and credit card

5. Dedicated Review

I have a Linux dedicated server running Fedora with FastHosts web hosting. I have been with them for 3 months. The last month has been dreadful.  Updates controlled through FastHosts wiping out PHP class files, and down times that break their service level agreements. The update lost me 2 and 1/2 days, as they have no engineer support at the weekend - losses into thousands. No apology, no communication and no one who knows what they are doing.  Recently lost all connection to my dedicated server, and the matrix control panel is plagued with problems - still without imap or pop3 for the third time in a row.  I will be switching in the new year when I have the energy for it. I may have to pay extra, but going for the budget option has meant fire fighting with them all the time, they will always tell you a problem is nothing to do with them, and then low and behold it is!
