The search for a new web host
Since my host for AndroidWorkshop.com has been down since who knows when yesterday I have decided to look for something better. I can’t really complain too much though since it’s been a free service, but maybe it’s time to move on.
First off I’ve already got my domains registered for 2 years through GoDaddy since you can’t really beat the prices. But I hear bad things about GoDaddy hosting. I’ve got a basic 2 month account with them right now for Untitled Image while I look into my options.
Thanks to everyone who suggested a few hosts in the comments of my last post: my last post.
1and1.com and Bluehost were both suggested. (More suggestions are welcome.)
1and1 looks great for the price but my only issue is that they have a 100MB limit on their SQL databases… Bad since I do run a message board that is already something like 26MB. Bluehost is a little more pricy (I can see why with unlimited storage) and it looks like they require you to transfer your domain to them… I’m not sure I like that.
I am also aware of MediaTemple being wonderful, but they are too pricey and a bit overkill for my current hosting needs; I’m not really high bandwidth or storage yet. Nothing over $6.50 USD a month (GoDaddy’s Deluxe hosting) would be ideal.
EDIT: Does anyone know anything about ModHost? I’ve heard some people say it was good. Thanks!
