So about a month or so ago I found out that I was unable to get into cpanel with my current web hosting provider. I called in support and discovered that they migrated their servers and changed around everything about the hosting packages to use something called websiteOS. They forgot to tell me. Additionally, how they handle sub-domains was changed so they use something called sitepreviewer or something... and it seems that databases are now stored with some third party because I had to remove "localhost" from my db login phps, and I can't even create usernames for my databases. so yea... the last straw was when they emailed me to say I had an outstanding balance on my bill when I had an automated subscription via paypal to pay for it... which they don't do anymore... and also did not inform me about when I called.
I've been with them for 3-4 years now, my sites are small, but at this point it's not working. I asked my friends and somebody suggested dreamhost to me. The way their packages work though doesn't appealing though. Canaca.ca was suggested as well, and I like their offering / price. BUT! It helps to look around, or ask, and so I was wondering if anybody had any hosting solutions that they use and like with cpanel, mysql4+, php, and php myAdmin for a reasonable price? Thanks :>

Most of the people that frequent their forums (employees included) would fit right in here at PA.
Lots of people hate them.
I haven't had a problem really, but then again I do not do complicated stuff.
I've heard gator is cheap and really reliable.
I don't see how their packages aren't appealing since they pretty much only have one now, and it has everything, for cheap
It's not very user friendly, if that's what your asking...but if I learned on it, I figure anyone could since I'm pretty retarded when it comes to web design.
I use 1&1 myself, no problems at all. And they have starter deals, like pay for 3 months, get an extra 3 months free and such.
I'm reading around for information on Hasweb and 1&1 too. Thanks!
If I hide myself wherever I go
Am I ever really there?
bob, how is the SiteAdmin control panel, and how many sub-domains do they allow? I used sub-domains a lot with my junk... (GameX., Photos., etc)
Looks like asmallorange.com uses cpanel from browsing their forums, but how many subdomains do they allow? :U
Thanks for the suggestions!
I use http://www.holeinthewallhosting.com - Whilst at first 400mb storage/20gb transfer doesn't seem like much, unless you KNOW you'll be using more it'll probably be enough. It is for me and I run two website off of it. It also costs $10 a YEAR, not a month. You can pay $10 more a year and upgrade the storage or bandwidth.
Also, if you happen to have an account at Something Awful, you can get a better deal on it.
Wordpress.com recently bumped their free storage space to 3gb, so both of you might want to look in to it. :P
That holeinthewallhosting looks like a pretty sweet deal. I don't have an SA account or anything but 10 bucks a year is pretty trivial. How long would it take to set up an account with them (holeinthewall)?
If I get a chance to do it though I will note that you did refer me to it. :P
I think I'm a little late to the party, but as many as you want. Same with addon domains.
Well, I got the referral credits anyway, so unless someone else on here signed up, it was you.
If you DO have any questions for them, though, their support staff are ridiculously nice. Hit them up with whatever questions you want and they'll definitely be happy to help you however they can.
Just bumping this thread to ask about these guys. What do they do if you exceed your bandwidth limit? I'm thinking of signing up to them to host the site I'll be making for a band (just small to begin with, but we'll probably move up to having music on there too), and wonder how that'd work out.
Well, yes, and sadly they just redesigned it not two weeks ago and it's just as bad if not worse.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
I had bad problems with godaddy. Also look on the internets, lots of people don't like them.
I would say try dreamhost, it's like $10 a month or such.
