Best Host - Best Hosting Company?

[WebKing]

This is a vast topic I know. I have read it almost every where - Who is the best host or which is the best web hosting company.

There are many other hosts or web hosting companies, which claims that they are the best hostnig provider in the hosting industry. May be they are - in their business areas they might say they are the - best vps provider or best sql server company or best dedicated servers, best managed servers, best shared hosting provider etc. They might be best in their country, state or may be in hosting industry worldwide. But according to you how will you define best host or best hosting company? Just curious to know - What pops up when you hear 'best host' or 'best hosting company'? What do you expect from them? [practically]

I don't really have to wonder who is the best hosting company, I just automagically think JPC

What else would you expect them to say?

For the price, features, and service I get at Jag, I doubt I would find any better host.

Why would you even post this on a hosting company's support board?

Tis the chit chat section...

JuaguarPC has been the best host I have used. Have used seven or so hosts since 1997. My sites have been up 100% and running perfect since the move to Atlanta many months ago!

Could not be happier. Well I could be - if it was free!

Inserted - > wow I love Jag, one the main reasons is - TRUTH in advertising. Seen the latest hosgator specs on there packages?

and for the king of false advertising:
lypha.com what a joke. 1tb host space - 5tb transfer (ya right) for $6.95 and even a free domain forever (now that one is nice - but your forever will not be long as you violate the cpu TOS within months!)

Frank, you referencing the overselling taking place at large?

The best host would be one who can actually deliver what they promise. It's so easy to say we'll give you an unrealisic amount of disk space and bandwidth, and throw in a free this and that, and the best possible support ever for $5 a month. It's just not possible, if it looks too good to be true then it probably is. If I see severe overselling, where they're offering you more disk space than most hard drives can handle and yet still put 600 customers on a server, you know that you're not getting the best host, you're getting crap. I used to work for a hosting company who did this and I'm an honest person, I hated it. It was like scamming people.

So to me, the best host is one that can actually deliver what they promise to the customer, especially in the support area. Hence why I'm working here now, I believe in what we offer and I know we can give it to our customers.

yes Greg and that big time.... 1tb of storage and 5tb of bandwidth for 6.95 come on - that is false advertising to the uninformed webhost personified. I m glad you give true limits that will work within reason.

Janyna - yes indeed - it unscrupulous to do what they do at sites like lypha and many others.

[Vin DSL]

Oh boy still at it Frank aye?

[JPC-Nick]

Ive worked for a few of the big player in the industry even ran my own gig, Ill say it now as someone said it on WHT

There is no "Best Host" there is only the host that is best for you, Jag has many niches some good strong folks behind it and alot of expertise, but we may not be perfect for everyone, but we will be perfect for some just how the ball falls
