I have used both startlogic.com and lunarpages.com and to be honest, I have moved all of my sites from startlogic on to lunarpages.
Response time for my sites was tremendously slower with SL than they were with LP and the user interface is much nicer as well (cPanel is much nicer than vDeck even after they upgraded!). Not to mention, LP gives you a few more perks that SL doesn't (fantastico, free databases, additional bandwidth, etc. etc.)
Avoid Web.com. I mean, there's so many, much better web hosts out there giving you extremely more bangs for the bucks.
Also, at USD$11.95 / month, it's pretty expensive.
Those web hosts mentioned above are better.
I personally use webhostingbuzz.com and you gotta visit their website and compare it to web.com.
Also, avoid StartLogic, iPower and iPowerWeb. They're the same company and they used to be king in the web hosting world in 1999 - 2001, but after that, they went totally downhill. I know cos' I used to be a customer with them from 1999 - 2007, but quitted after I couldn't take any more **** from them.
The current king is BlueHost.com

You'll get two kinds of replies. One is that a specific thing sucks from a disgruntled owner. (Is there such a thing as a gruntled owner?)
Or, anyone who is happy with their thing you ask about will tell you that theirs is the greatest, After all, they bought it.
The fact is you pay your money and you take your chances. If you could see how any of the "big boys" stack up over a 4 or 5 year period, their graphs would all look like rollercoasters. Things happen, companies sell out, key people leave, someone loots the cashbox, etc.

hi everyone,
I'm somewhat new to these forums and to the great world of e-commerce. So i'm looking for some input on finding a good webhost. Thanks.
Hi Renzo. Pete is right, we would all have our biases. I can't remember how I stumbled upon NZWebIT , but I have been with them for 7 or 8 years now. Once or twice a year it has its little hiccups (as all servers do, I'm told), but recovery is usually prompt and service has been very satisfactory.
There's no sure way to know which is the best.. just gotta try it out.
If you wan the best for your money go with 1 & 1 Internet just google it you will find it right away it 4.99$ a month. They give you 2 free domain name with that. no one beats that on the internet.
i've used mediatemple for about 8 years now and no complaints. responsive, non-condescending tech support too. great when you really don't know what you are doing sometimes
By the way, I just checked out 1&1 Internet as mentioned by eTshirt above, and I'm very impressed. Also, if you're planning on opening a Spreadshirt store, they've 5% discount of all SS products and 50% off Premium SS membership. This will save you like US$60 for the SS Premium membership (this membership lets you print custom SS invoices and packaging, customize your SS store etc).
Very awesome.

I would say that in my travels around the net, and I visit a number of small business sitres daily, 1 and 1 is the main one mentioned that has low satisfaction. Some swear by them, but many say they would not use them or lukewarm as Rodney is above.

Best webhost
