A really good hosting for a medium-sized website

[Andy_Miller]

Hello everybody!

I desperately need a new GOOD ISP.

This is what I need:
-NOT very expensive;
-Unix\Linux\FreeBSD;
-PHP/MySQL;
-Cron support;
-Protected directories;
-Web-mail;
-High bandwidth;
-Good customer support, of course.

Reason? My site was down too often and the number of visitors was too unpredictable. It jumped from 400 to 60 within one week. I ordered a profound examination of my web-site at http://www.dotcom-monitor.com (website and network monitoring company). In their report the following reasons were mentioned:
-"Slow Website Response"
-"Slow Web Page Response"
-"Varying Website Response from Different Geographical Locations"

I'm sure it is Extcom's (my current provider) fault, but communication with the Customer Support brings only promises and excuses. This persuades me that it's high time to move my site to a completely different place.



Your advice? I have two companies in view but ALL your recommendations are welcomed

Andy, my advice would be to share the two companies you have in mind first so people could review them as well.

Next, there are just so many good web hosting companies out there, so it is hard to single out any of them. There are big names that satisfy a lot of customers, but there are also small firms that do a good job.

Your specifications are also very general, so most companies in business can deliver them.

You can also post your request (precise to resources and budget you are looking for) in our Web Hosting Requests forum and hosting companies that participate on HostingDiscussion.com could provide you custom offers.

Best,

Companies can't directly recommend themselves in the forum here. However, it is a good idea to check around the forums, and you will be able to find many viable companies that can provide the service you are looking for with an affordable price.

I wish you best of luck in your search.
