Was wondering /comp/'s opinion on webhosting plans. I operate a personal site that only needs 1gb storage, 20gb\m bandwidth, PHP\mysql, but a lack of reliability really shits me.
I've been with Fuitadnet ($7.50\mo, 3gb storage 25gb bandwidth) for the last three years but it has gradually got worse and worse, with a several-day downtime becoming almost a bi-monthly event, and customer service completely infuriating. (Don't go with fuitadnet, btw.)
I was wondering if anonymous had suggestions for which hosts offer cheapish shared hosting that doesn't suck. Some additional criteria:
- fuck unlimited hosts, or hosts that think they can deliver 100gb+ for less than ten bucks a month, or whatever. All my experience with those hosts leads me to think this strategy results in shitty service\downtime issues\etc all the time.
- fuck dreamhost, because my friend has it and it goes down only a bit less than mine does.
- fuck cpanel. Do any hosts have a nice usable UI for changing settings? Even if only I see it, having a slick, clean, valid HTML admin interface without the bullshit would make me happy with a host.
- fuck linux. I don't mind conceding on this point but I think I'd feel like I had a bigger cock if I was hosted on a Mac or Solaris or even just FreeBSD or something. Windows is of course more retarded than Linux in this one area, so none of that.
I'm happy paying up to about $10\mo for this, which seems reasonable given the many thousands of plans similar to my Fuitadnet one out there. Your thoughts, /comp/?
