    Recommend A New Host

    It's time for me to get a new host. Right now I've got a Gold Reseller account with Steadfast. ( http://steadfast.net/services/reseller.php ). I have connection problems with my sites several times a day. If I work on the site for half an hour, it's almost guaranteed that I won't be able to access it for 1-2 minutes during that time.

    Currently I use about 300gb bandwidth/month. Traffic for all of my sites is 1500-2000 uniques per day.

    I'd like to switch to a host with good support and reliable uptime. Somewhere that I have room to grow.CPanel is a plus. Unlimited domains is required. I'm not sure if I need a dedicated server yet or not. I've looked at a few sites, but I really don't know what is good and what isn't.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I was looking at their site before I made my post. I don't really know what I need when it comes to hosting. They have so many packages. I also know nothing about managing a server.

    Maybe a VPS with another company would be good enough for now. Based on the info I provided in the original post what do you think?

    i would reccomend nexcess.net Ask to speak with Chris or Greg. I have referred a bunch of people from here to them. They are a fantastic company. If you speak with chris and let em know Michael from MoviesOnline sent you they will take good care of you. I send alot of business his way.

    Any questions about nexcess ask. I can help, Westech here can also help. Its the first company I have ever referred people to and I have been with them for many years now.

    I got a managed dedicated server with Nexcess. So far it's been great! I ordered it at about 5PM and they had it setup by 10:30PM. All support responses have taken less than 15 minutes via email. Many of them have been within 2 minutes.

    I'm with Hostmysite.com... a big company that has near instant 24/7 customer service with people who speak/type good english.

    They have unbelievable service for a cuople of my high traffic'd sites. I also have a VPS through them. Not cheap, but the instant customer service is why I'm with them.
