I’ve been through my fair share of hosts, free and otherwise. I’ve blogged about my previous paid hosting in this post. Surprisingly the paid hosts went down more than the free hosts. George attributes that to me buying paid hosting that he wouldn’t use even if it were free. Sound logic and unfortunately true. I’ve finally decided to buy decent paid hosting.
At first while searching around I couldn’t find any small packages, meaning, around 1 GB. I wanted a reseller and all those out there were either upwards of 5 GB or were atrociously costly for what little space they provided. I even created an excel spreadsheet (damn!) with all the details so I could look at the deals at one go.
I condensed that list to 6 hosts that I thought were worth buying from. Two hosts had awful reviews, another didn’t accept Paypal, one other had decent reviews but George didn’t like the domain name or the fact that they had spelling mistakes on their site. That left us with two more hosts that had few or no reviews of them. Luckily, I had tried them both out before. I had used one for about 7 days before I got pissed off with the support (I was on their free trial package, its possible they have different support for freeloaders) and the other host used to host the host where I bought my previous reseller from. A few emails later, I was all ready to buy hosting from the host that hosted my previous host (I like the sound of that). Come Sunday, I should officially be their customer.
Want to know which host it is? Well, y’all are smart enough. I left in enough clues for you to figure it out.
Oh ho, you’re doing that “I won’t tell you my host’s name” thing too, eh? Eh? EH?!
Oh noes! I can has no hostingzz!!1

One guy did give me the runaround. Its only fair that I do the same. I share. I nice.
