Hosting Recommendations (34)

---

I know everyone on this forum likes Beyond Hosting, but I want other recommendations. Who do you recommend for dedicated servers?

---

lol BEYOND HOSTING. thats all you need.

---

Depends on the volumes you drive, if it's big you can consider amazon or reflected, but my guess is beyong hosting is good for that too

i would like to recommend reliablesite.net, been with them for 2 months now. their support is great and fast, usually get back to me before 20 minutes. i have the semi-dedi right now, but have heard their dedicated is good too.

---

if beyond hosting did not exist i would turn to liquidweb.com

---

Thanks for the quick responses everyone. I'll give liquidweb a look. Anyone else that's good?

---

Are you impacted by todays outage? Any VPS provider will have issues as such, that's the nature of shared resources. Our dedicated are absolutely top of the line, Most of our dedicated customers have 100% uptime for more than 2 years now.

Two Words - Beyond Hosting

I'm a moany old British guy, so I can't wait to complain about anything, but I've only ever raved about BeyondHosting. Best hosting provider I've ever used. Support is phenomenally fast.

---

^^ he tells the truth

---

Thumb Up for Beyond Hosting

---

Host with Beyond Hosting, and all your tracking URLs belong to me.

---

I've been using LiquidWeb and have been very happy.

I saw my hosting URL there

---

You, devil, you...

---

make sure your hosting properly tuned, you can hire someone who expert on mysql/nginx/litespeed to optimize your settings

---

Thanks for all the recommendations. The reason I said "besides BH" was because I knew that's what everyone would recommend, but I like to shop around so wanted to hear other recommendations.

---

I've used Knownhost for a while, no complaints here.

---

Get a dedicated box at rackspace, the planet, isprime, leaseweb.. plenty to choose from.

---

wow!

---

I can second this. I've had zero issues so far with liquidweb, and the support is super fast and responsive.

---

Vouch for Beyond Hosting.

---

Liquidweb, StormOnDemand (liquidweb cloud), and Linode have all been good. Linode is more of an AWS like provider, they don't offer as much support.

---

Is there anything that Beyond Hosting can do to protect these data? Or it will be the same for all hosting companies?

---

It's going to be the same for all hosting companys. Everyone gets sequential blocks from ARIN ect,we have a mixed audience just like everyone else, we just have more affiliate related people than others because of what we do.

---

Protecting your domain names is up to you, not to your hosting
I think you can hide all your domains behind a DNS provider like this

http://www.zerigo.com/managed-dns/

---

I'd actually avoid zerigo, we were recommending them as a good 3rd party dns provider, then they had an entire day outage for ALL OF THEIR redundant dns infrastructure. They claimed DDOS but I find it hard to believe it knocked out all their zone servers at once.

Amazon Route 63 is good, UltraDNS is good and DNS Made Easy is always recommended here. I've never had a problem with them either.

We will configure your DNS for you if you want to move to a 3rd party provider for more anonymity.

---

Beyond Hosting. Tyler's point is correct, whether it's a smaller hosting company, a mid size colo company, or a massive data center, inevitably everyone will experience some sort of outage at some point. It's just the nature of the service. How they deal with it is the difference. Beyond Hosting always makes things right even when something goes wrong / unexpected, they get my vote here. If they didn't exist, I'd go with liquidweb like Shoent said, but since they do, I have to say I'd stick with BH

---

We've had our fair share of outages on the VPS platform, that's the nature of openvz. Were investigating virtuozzo now (the commercial version of openvz) and looking at their product offerings for reliability and performance. Were also moving all of our VPS machines to SSD, free upgrades for everyone!

---

see man the reasons why they are the best is endless, shit free upgrades to SSD, who the hell else is going to do that

---

I haven't used Beyond Hosting, but managed hosting and amazing support are what you are looking for. I have a VPS at BurstNet right now for a side project and the support usually takes a day or two to get back to me. It can be pretty frustrating. I also opted not to have managed support but I am enjoying learning about managing my own VPS.

If you price Beyond Hostings CPV vs other VPS hosts you will at first see that their pricing is a little on the premium side. When you start taking things like support, ssd upgrades, and the managed services they become a hell of a deal.

Trust me, one night of your VPS freaking out and driving load into the 20's for no apparent reason while getting suspension warnings from your provider will turn you on to managed VPS and a solid support team.

---

need to check out burstnet

---

If you're considering a new web host, you may find the mammoth STM Guide To Affiliate Web Hosting useful!

I'm going to check out burst.net now - thanks for the tip! And seconded on both Beyond and managed hosting - unless you are a professional-level sysadmin, unmanaged servers can be cheap until they're suddenly really not.

---

As you guys mention Burst NET: I used to have 3 VPS (windows though) back a year ago or so when I was doing a lot of spam via uBot / sicksubmitter and similiar spam tools. Compared to other providers I must admit their windows VPS performance was on the bottom end, same goes for support. Don't know if / in how far this counts for linux VPSs as well though.
