The Opinion Review

ICDSoft – I just discovered these guys after taking over webmastering for a site that is hosted on their server… They appear to have pretty cheap plans with lots of diskspace and they will register a domain for $1.00 if you sign up with them so it seems like a good deal. They have answered my emails very quickly which is why I have decided to include them on this blog.

IPower Webs – This is another one of those huge hosting companies. They have been around for awhile and have a fairly decent price for all the features. They had a huge marketing campaign when they got started and now they are one of the biggest hosting companies out there. I heard they got hacked recently however with significant downtime but that can happen to anyone. I have included them because I have folks that use them for hosting now. So there ya go.

Media Temple -  This is a new generation of hosting…The idea is to throw hundreds of servers together working on all tasks…That way if something happens the other servers take over the problems and therefore no downtime…They are supposed to be able to handle huge spikes in traffic with no problem…So if your site get’s a shout out on The Dr. Phil show your site won’t get overloaded with traffic and crash…

I have been using them for awhile but at $20 per month that’s a bit steep for me at this time… I am in the process of moving my sites to yet another shared server … I won’t review that one as I have only used them for a few days…

Do you want more choices? Or you want to research a host and see what other people are saying about it? Do some lurking in this very large web hosting forum. Or even ask a question. They will certainly answer you (or try to get your business) it is a good place to research and/or find hosting.
