Finding good tech support is very important - particualry if you are running a more complicated site.

What kind of turn around time are you looking for on ticketed problems?

Hello i am starting a webhosting service and am looking for some feedback as to what i can do to better the service and site anyone who sighns up and mentions this site i will give the first mnth free(just dont complete the payment i will manualy activate the account) http://www.x-hosting.org

What do you need? If all you need is XOOPS, I could host you one for free. Email me (SnakeFalcon At Hotmail Dot Com). Or you can IM me (Yahoo is nolsonharris, and MSN is the same as email addrred). All you will get is XOOPS, and a mySQL called linksbro_xoop2. Just mail or IM me the Admin username/password, what you want your address to be, and VOILA! You have XOOPS 2.0.5![quote]

We use Eryxma and have over 20 sites running there. Support is really good and you get immediate answers, the system is very stable and the control panel is easy to use.

We use xoopshosting.com Though they're just getting started, I've found them to be very flexible with everything I've needed to do. They have reasonable rates and lots of extra features, including a killer control panel. Might be worthwhile to check them out.

Like I said they're still getting off the ground but I've had no problems whatsoever, and I know they have a very robust setup with lots of redundancy and bandwidth.

I also understand from one of the main guys at xoopshosting.com that they're running operating in the same facility as google.

In case anyone read this previously, I wanted to give an update. I would suggest avoiding WhizHost (http://www.whizhost.com). Over the last 8 months, their service has gone down considerably. My site was inaccesible for intvervals of over one hour and occurring several times during the course of a week. I think they might be overselling but, of course, I can't prove this. I did see however, that the BBB of Florida listed them as unsatisfactory. The sad part is that, for the first 1.5 years I used them, they were a good value.

Needless to say, I moved my site to a new host, Fuitadnet (http://www.fuitadnet.com), and they are much better (reseller account - 5 Gigs space, 60 GB transfer/month and, best of all, they offer Fantastico, which is automated installer that, among other things, can set up a CMS -- XOOPS is an option -- without you having to download a copy and upload to your server). Needless to say, I'm much happier now.

How many people took advantage of the free three year plan from 1and1? I'm enjoying their service.

I did, but I don't use it, not powerfull enough for my needs. By the way, I'm now hosted with http://www.surpasshosting.com

Best rates/packages anywhere, period.

Just a little advice. Watch out closely who you are hosting with. We had hosting with Eryxma and it was a complete fraud, they just vanished. We have just chosen Rackforce , hope it is a reliable company. Nice to know if anyone has had experience with them.

Apologies to the moderating team if this is not allowed. I would be grateful if readers would cast their eyes over our hosting service - http://3dpixelnet.com
