Best Web Hosts?
I am going to be moving the NLC web site from a local host to a host with larger space and speed. I have looked at a number of them and so far, the cheapest with good ratings and BBB ratings is Lunarpages.


Anyone have any better suggestions? I need a lot of space for video & audio streaming.

Space never seems to be the issue really....it's bandwith that matters with streaming from your own site

You're right. So far, even with out local host, we have not had a bandwidth problem. But they are hosting our site for free and when we change from wireless internet to Cable, it won't be fair for me to expect them to continue to host it for free.

Well just about any service nowadays includes a lot of disk space.

I use Netfirms... www.netfirms.com they host for free with a banner ad. They have a low end package that is only $5 a month and then they have business packages too with stores etc etc...

They have wordpress installed, rubyonrails...PHP...they just recently moved to a technology where you have the benefits of both Windows Server and Linux at the same time

How does it work?
.NET applications are executed natively on a Windows (Server 2003) clustered server grid. Open Source applications (coded in PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.) are executed natively on a Linux server grid. You manage both platforms through a single control panel, FTP or SSH account. Netfirms makes this possible by load balancing HTTP requests to their appropriate server cluster.

Netfirms is an industry leader and innovator in web hosting. Our Unix powered clustered hosting technology powers more than a million websites each and every day. We've worked closely with Microsoft to include the Windows server framework into the mix. The result is an enterprise level hosting platform that brings together the two most popular hosting platforms in the world.

I haven't taken advantage of this since we don't use the business package.

The only thing they don't have like some other hosts is one size fits all templates where you just fill in the blanks...this is for those people that really code their own websites :-)

Some of those coffeecup apps are pretty cool brother. That alone can make making a website there worth while, unless you are already a flash expert and have a zillion apps already under your belt

Well let me know if you do. It looks pretty good. I might be up for a server change. Plus I have a friend that wants a couple e-stores she wants me to make and Im looking for a good server with good e-store software already installed

MOW, for what they include in even the cheapest package, it looks pretty good. I can't attest though for server uptime/downtime...only others can report on that that actually use or used this service

Well, I checked with the BBB and found that they have a high rating there. Some of the others, if you do a generic "web hosts" search didn't fare so well.

Lunarpages hosts here in the US and some of the others are off shore, I think.
