So to answer your question, my blogs are hosted with Pinch Penny Web Hosting – http://www.pinch-penny.com.

Thanks.

Hands down, the best service I’ve ever has in hosting — really, better service than I could of imagined after some of the nightmares I went through. And I’m not just saying this… I’m not getting referral payments or anything, they’re just the most helpful host out there (in my experience). They’ve helped me survive 300,000+ Unique Visitors a day during Digg’s, they have personally installed extra hardware and software temporarily to keep my projects online under heavy loads (at no extra charge), and have also explained to me ways to avoid problems in the future that I otherwise would have never known.

Give them a look if you’re looking for dedicated hosting.

The problem is when I surpass the CPU Quota. They suspend my blog (Wordpress – PHP) for 10 minutes. It’s apparently not too difficult to happen as it’s been happening with my blog a bit lately. I get about 3,000 unique visitors a day, nothing huge by any means, but decent for my niche.

It can’t seem to handle more than three hundred unique visitors at a given time for Wordpress blogs without throwing that error page and simply not displaying my site for a full 10 minutes. I’m currently exploring other options – thanks Darren for providing this, I’ll look into MT.

I would also like to mention I’ve had bad experiences with web.com. As one example, a site I maintain was down 14 hours recently. All they had to do was iisreset the server. Needless to say, I’m moving that site off web.com and on to TCH! Not just due to that one incident, but due to numerous problems and poor customer service and support.

I rather use the Reseller hosting as it is more reliable, faster, and is a virtual dedicated service.

I used to use iPower and and that was the biggest mistake I ever did. Slow, server configuration issues…. bahh. HostGator has been fantastic and the few times I’ve had to use their support they have been brilliant.

and most seem to be happy with them too…it is difficult to get that sort of feedback. But how many servers do they actually have guys? If so many are hosted with them, i am worried that their servers might be packed to full capacity.

Doreo seem to be an interesting option. But why is a guy so unhappy with bluefur/ He seem to have made his displeasure so clear by calling himself bluefursucks !!! One thing for sure is he is not Johhn chow :)

Prior to that, I was with what was once a marvelous inexpensive hosting company, but it was sold to a bunch of guys that run the company as if they were children hosting sites on a server located in their parent’s basement.

Whatever you do, stay away from Elected Hosting! (I am not providing their URL because I don’t want this blog promoting them by accident)

They failed to inform me that they were moving my account to another server. Failed to inform me the nameserver info was changed, and when I contacted them after my site went down a few days before Christmas, they told me that someone must have hacked my account at my registrar and changed the nameserver info on me. (not true)

By the time I got all that straightened out and could access my account again, which took about a week because they never added it to the new server, I found that they had replaced everything I had with a 2 year old backup of my site, revoked my unlimited add-on domain privs that I paid for, and had the database backup & restore functions disabled in CPanel.

They told me backups were my responsibility, which I can agree with, but they disabled my ability to restore from my own backups and denied anything was wrong on their end or that any part of this fiasco was their fault.

After I freaked out and accused them of ruining my Christmas, they got spiteful and told me they wouldn’t be offerring me any more support and offered to cancel my account without refunding the rest of the one year contract I had paid for, if I didn’t like it.

This didn’t affect just one blog, but all 10 websites I had on my account, including a friend’s final research project for his degree.

So don’t give Elected Hosting a dime of your money, because all they do is lie, cheat, steal, and give really bad service.

Here’s the two I have had most experience with:

IPowerWeb – Mediocre hosting service. I liked them in the beginning but their customer service has been declining, their uptime has been marginal and I hate their new control panel.

Midphase – Overall I’ve been very pleased with them. Great customer service. They’ve had a few issues with uptime during their growth spurt, but I haven’t had issues in about a year.

Oh, wait, I shouldn’t mention SliceHost, because I don’t want more people on their servers. . . . no, it’s good, they don’t oversell. That’s the main thing, they don’t oversell.
