Good high-capacity hosting services?

[Mike Wagstaff]

Hi guys,<br><br>I'm looking for recommendations regarding good, high-capacity hosting services. Currently, I'm with Yahoo Website hosting which is good in that they offer 30 GB/month bandwidth for not too much ($29.95), but bad in that they offer hardly any features (e.g. PHP, CGI-BIN).<br><br>What I'm after is a hosting service that offers a large maximum monthly bandwith (currently, pocketgamer.org and pocketpcgames.net get through around 24 GB per month... and I'm looking to combine them into a single domain, pocketgamer.org) with features such as PHP and CGI-BIN, and preferably excellent reliability, support and speed.<br><br>Minimum disk space requirements are around 80 MB (currently, I'm using just over 30 MB, but obviously would like room for expansion!). Oh, and something that doesn't cost the earth.<br><br>I'm not asking for much, am I...? <br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>

A friend sent me this link for hosting services. I don't need a host and am not looking so I don't know why. Anyway, I didn't really check it out but you could take a look if you want and see if they're any good.<br><br>[Shift-Click]<br>

JongJungBu: Thanks, but from what I can see, they don't offer anything over 10 GB/month... I'm afraid that my site's a little more greedy than that! <br><br>Chris: Thanks for the link... they certainly seem like experts and, based on the huge number of searches and posts I've just trawled through, site5.com are sounding pretty good.<br><br>So, the next question for today is: Had any experience with site5.com? <br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>

I went through that hell hole a while ago looking for hosting for pocketmatrix. There are a lot of companies out there that are just "resellers" but they neglect to tell you that.<br><br>Check out these forums:<br>http://geekvillage.com/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=Web+Hosting The people there know what they are talking about <br><br>[edit] Dam* the url parsing!Last modification: Chris Edwards - 07/10/01 at 12:08:06

Well, after quite a few more hours reading copious messages on numerous forums and doing a whole lot more searching (thanks for the hostsearch.com link, Fredrik), Tera-Byte (http://www.tera-byte.com) seem to be held in quite a high regard.<br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>

Take my advice and send Fredrik an eMail with 1 000 000 $-signs in it. ;P

[Chris Edwards]

hmmm.  i'll send you a $1 000 000 check if you pay the bounce fee

btw: we are switching to a new host sometime soon. So I will probably have to take down the forums for a few hours sometime this week. I'll let you know of the exact time, etc when the time comes.
