Your Questions About Web Host Provider
Mary asks…
Can we sue Simonweb (web hosting provider) for taking our money but not providing uptime or support?
Simonweb has had what I would guess is about a 60% uptime on our website hosted with them. They no longer answer support emails, we cannot cancel our membership through our settings, and they continue to charge us every month. We have our honeymoon registry and a business portfolio on this site, so besides the money they’re taking every month for almost nothing, we’re losing money when the site is not up. I’ve found other people complaining about the same thing online. We’ve already filed a complaint with the BBB. Can we sue?
admin answers:
Yes you can, but the amount of money you’ll get back will be barely cover the lawyer fees. Ask a lawyer to see if it is worth it.
If they are charging you via credit card, call your credit card company and charge back the amounts…then have them change your credit card numbers.
If they are sending you bills, ignore them.
If they are taking it out of your bank account, tell your bank and they will change your account number and stop the charges.

Daniel asks…
Who is a good web hosting provider for this?
I plan on starting a website that will gain a lot of users over time.
Should I start out on shared hosting and then upgrade to a virtual private server?
Or is there another way to go about this?
I assume that my website will be small at first but through time it will grow
admin answers:
I recommend you to register domain name(s) with a 3rd party like: http://www.namecheap.com
Then choose a host which allows you to pay monthly like:
Godaddy Deluxe plan
http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy
Disk space: 150 GB
Bandwidth: 1500 GB
Price: $6.99 (for monthly payments)
Then, when you’re ready to switch to a VPS,
you just have to copy your site to it, point your domain name
to its name servers, and cancel your godaddy plan.
This is very easy to setup, and it works great!
P.S. When you start to look for a VPS check:
http://www.slicehost.com (from $20/month)
and later
http://www.mosso.com (from $100/month)
P.P.S. If you want to start with a shared hosting but wanna pay a year upfront I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html
They offer the best plan/options for the price.
(especially if you use a promo code)
Their standard price is $9.95/month ($119.40/year)
but you can use the promo code PLUS and get
$50 discount +2 Free domain names.
Disk space: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
2 Free domain names
Unlimited domains and subdomains
Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)
Maria asks…
What would be the best web hosting provider?
For a dedicated server under $50 a month?
admin answers:
I’ve had great luck with Codero. They have a 4 dedicated server hosting packages, anywhere from $30 / month to $50. Their tech support is pretty good too.
