Oracle of DelphiWeb Hosting - recommendations?
January 18th 2007 03:55
This isn't remotely connected to Travel Australia, but it does have an Internet connection, so I am going to write about it anyway.
Apart from this blog with Orble, I do a few websites for bands and a reggae zine for myself - http://www.dizzybeatnetwork.com. To host all these websites, I use a service called Powweb.com.
In the past has been good - it is relatively cheap, it has been easy to install image galleries and forums on the site and they don't charge my credit card when I ask them not to, as other mobs have done in the past.
I use them for my email too, and I love having pop email and not having to log into some kind of web service to check my email. I have even told other people about Powweb because generally they have been very good to me.
Problem is, they were restructured or some bullshit recently - taken over maybe. Since then I have had heaps of problems - slow FTP to upload my sites, sites being down more commonly than should happen and today, I can't get my email. The whole email system is seemingly fucked. Of course this happens at a most inopportune time, as in just when I was expected an important email.
Now I don't know whether I can be bothered changing everything over, but in the future I may host new websites somewhere else if I can find a good service. So, can anyone suggest a good webhost? Needs to be less than 100 US dollars a year and include domain hosting.
