Please only answer this if you are a web designer with lots of clients... I really need reliable opinions here...If you work for a hosting company - please don't bother...
I started building websites as a business about 3 months ago. I now have some happy clients and even a backlog of work. But my hosting company is killing me. I am using Anhosting because they were recommended by someone I really respect. I'm sure they used to be great but ever since they began offering unlimited everything for $6.95, they have gone downhill.
I really don't know where to start. I now know what to look for. I've read all that but I am so afraid of putting my trust and important jobs in the hands of another company I don't know. The webhosting reviews you find on Google are worthless. Every company has good reviews and bad. Anhosting says they are upgrading their servers....so what?
I am doing my job right. My sites work. But telling a client "the host server is down" works only 1 time. It doesn't matter that it is true. It is an unverifiable explanation. My hosting company is already doing damage to my reputation and if I have to speak to one more support tech that doesn't give a s%^&T about my predicament, I'm gonna pull my hair out.
Does anyone use a company that they are 99% happy with? I can deal with 99% at this point... There's nothing more important in this business than the host...
