    Looking for quality webhosting

    Hello everyone,

    I'm very angry at my actual shared webhosting , I get most of the time "MySQL server has gone away" while my forum is closed and only me and spiders surfs on it, I would like to know if some bigboard members specially or any other if possible can links me to quality webhosting, shared, VPS or dedicated, where is hosted vbseo.com for example ? I'm sure many of you knows good hostings, I have no special location , USA or europe but I need something quality, no bad services like slow SQL transactions.

    Thanks for your feedback

    Dedicated - SoftLayer Technologies, Inc. - I've been with many dedicated hosting companies and they have been the best. Other companies I've been with: layeredtech.com, hostgator.com, theplanet.com, and various "friends of friends". The support, dashboard, and servers are great. If you went with the planet for the same server as you would with softlayer, you would probably pay 100-200 more.

    I had problems with ThePlanet's and LayeredTech's support, but none what so ever with softlayer. I was ignored for days on MANY support tickets at ThePlanet and Layeredtech was similar but they responded a little quicker but when they screwed up, they still didn't want to give me my money back...I only got half of it which is still a nice chunk of change if you are first starting off with dedicated servers.

    I highly suggest that you go into any live chat with a sales person on any of the sites and say you are looking to move from another hosting company to them and you want to know what good deals you have. Be sure to go in there with a list of servers you are looking at at the other sites with prices that way they can compete with each other for prices...which always works out for you in the end. I saved 140 bucks (per month) on my current server with Softlayer b/c I was with their competitor (ThePlanet) and they love to take customers away from TP lol.

    i'm also on softlayer.

    had tons of problems with layered tech (i was with them less than 2 months before i got fed up and moved)
    theplanet is way over priced

    If you're borederline VPS/dedicated, take a look at their express line
    SoftLayer Express Series

    quick set up, decent hardware for a medium traffic site.

    One of our staff members recommends pair.com

    I've used hostgator, but not for anything mission critical.
