While I have written about web hosting services before, it is a constantly changing landscape of quality and reliability. It almost seems as if when a hosting company becomes popular, it will ruin its reputation by moving customer service off-shore to a place where English is not spoken and/or load up each server with far too many sites, slowing service.
Success seems to be the curse of Web hosting companies for them to begin self-destructing.
Ever since launching my first site in 1999, I have found that it’s a challenge to find one ideal hosting company to stick with. A friend lost his entire blog when his hosting company went out of business and shut off its servers in the Philippines. He had no recourse but to start over.
In a previous posting on this blog, just a few months ago, I touted LunarPages, a hosting company in California. Unfortunately, LunarPages has become a victim of its own success – by selling hosting at dirt cheap prices, it has attracted user-abusers who buy $3.95 a month hosting to backup their entire computers, bringing the FTP capability at LunarPages to a halt and slowing overall performance.
Who do I recommend now? InMotionHosting. Seems like a more professional and conservative company even though it costs more.
