Re: Best Hosting Site??
hmmm, I've had a dedicated server for the past few years and really have not used its full potential.
Maybe, hostgator is an option ... I only have a few domains so which which setup would you'all recommend?

Re: Web hosts. Who's good and who to avoid
For VPS I am using VPSVille. They have servers in Canada, US, UK. Seems like they made a few mistakes early but have addressed them in the past years. I have a VPS in Toronto and I can say it has been pretty solid since I joined and support have answered quickly when it has been needed. Managing your own server is not everyone's thing but I really like having total control over my server. Easy to upgrade service plans temporarily (especially if you expect a rush at Xmas) and then can downgrade again after the rush.

Usually I use hostgator. Much better and more comfortable then others.
Some time I use Godaddy also but most prefer first Hostgator. Very quick and reliable.

Re: Best Hosting Site??
its weird to see that nobody mentioned above arvixe, which is opencart's official hosting partner. any remarks on them? coz im using them to host my store, but haven't used it to its full potential at the moment. so it would be great if anyone would give some comments on arvixe, before i get the 2 years plan from them.

lolo, my hosting company was the one that sponsored the pre 2.0 phpBB forums.
Was great to know that the guy ran his company from his dorm room

Arvixe is very good too. They actually host this site and for the amount of load from you people.. it runs quite well

Re: Web hosts. Who's good and who to avoid
Hey everyone,
I'm getting my store set up - and want to know what the standard ranking is among everyone on the following categories between HostGator Baby Plan, Arvixe (advertised here, and they say they have a ton of OpenCart hosting experience..does this matter?), InMotion Hosting Business Power plan, and SurpassHosting:
- Speed / performance
- Real customer service / support
- Features
- Uptime (anyone had any issues with the above companies?)
- Ease of use
Please rate each one you've had experience with on a scale from 1 (worst) to 10 (best) in each category.
I really appreciate your help!
Thank you,
Jared

Re: Best Hosting Site??
I also consider GoDaddy to suck! It is so slow and i really don't like it! I think there are several hosting sites that are really good but then their you have to pay quite a bit of money. What do you think of this one: http://www.ixwebhosting.com/index.php/v2/pages.dspmain ? Does anyone have experience with this one?

Re: Web hosts. Who's good and who to avoid
Are you guys sure that Dreamhost is bad for Opencart? Is it not compatible?
I had bad experiences with Hostgator before so I don't want to go back to them. How about getting a cheap VPS from Dreamhost?

Re: Web hosts. Who's good and who to avoid
May I ask what bad experiences you had with Host Gator? I just ask because I decided to go with them, and want to know what to watch out for!
Thank you,

Never used Hostgator, but just deleted three posts from my blog
May be nothing to do with them, but has put me off them already. Poor guys.

We've used A2 Hosting for the last couple of years and I'm pretty happy with them.
