Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions on who I should go with for hosting. Right now I'm with Hostkoala paying $2/yr but I'm upgrading my site, getting more traffic, adding more stuff, so I think it's time I upgrade to a better host. The issue with my host right now is that I'm running low on my 1GB SSD, my site has been pretty slow in general, and a few times where the servers were down for hours.

Please recommend me a web host that is easy to use as I am a newbie. Preferably a web host with SSL, CPanel included, easy to use, and isn't too expensive. I don't mind paying more than what I'm paying now, as long it's not ridiculously price.

Thanks!!!

Got my new host. Sorry I don't know how to delete this thread. I went with Serviikus
 
I am thinking to buy too, maybe we can share hosting.

I was thinkng about hostgator cloud services, or bluehost business package. Let me know what you think.

Hi sorry, already purchased one from servikus.
 
I use ipage, their uptime is in the 99.5 range, they're pretty fast, 24/7 customer service and you'll get a free domain as well as $100 bing ads coupon with purchase. Atleast thats what the offer was when I signed up, not sure if the promotion is the same. But I do recommend them.
 
Is it better then bluhost or hostgator with vps or cloud plans Thanks?
Which plan do you use of ipage?
Do you have website there which i can test on pingdom or metrix for loading time.
Thanks

I've never used any of the hosts that you've just mentioned, so I can't honestly say if they're better than them or not. I haven't had any issues with them, and any time I had a question they resolved it within 10 minutes of the live chat which is available 24.7 - I won't share my site publicly, but I ran it on pingdom for you.

If your site got good backlinks, Hit me up, I might offer you free hosting on my VPS in exchange for a backlink.
 
Incredible stats you have there, can you try webpage with size more then 5mb or 3 mb atleast. BtW love the stats. Pretty nice. Just add few more images on temporary link so size goes upto 5mb or 4mb. That would tell true story.

Also what is its uptime during traffic spikes that is BlackFriday Sales Day or Christmas day.

Remember 1 hour down time during blackfriday sales might mean loss of thousands of dollar.

Thanks :)

Sure, not a problem.. maybe in the morning or the afternoon I can do that for you, I'm about to hit the hay in a bit. If there is a specific lp that you would like me to put up(html/images) and test for you, I don't mind doing that. It'll have to be tomorrow though, as I'm going to shut it down shortly.

I wouldn't go for Hostgator cloud services, I paid the most powerful plan and their servers are very slow in first response time if you're not located in the USA.
 
So which hosting u are currently using/recommend for something in budget and that does not go down during large sales day. And lastly should have good loading times so i can upload games on it.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

I was using hostkoala and only had a few problems but it was $2/year. I needed to upgrade for SSD though so I got servikus and so far it's amazing. Their support did the migration for me and also optimized my site since it was running slow. I only had them for a few hours but the reviews seems great and their support I can tell is awesome. Replied to my tickets within minutes (yes I already opened up multiple tickets since I didn't know how to use their dash lol).
 
@Masumne Can you check, current loading time of website with the plan you are using pingdom. Thanks
