WebHosting - Which One To Pick?
For those who have hard time to find a good reliable host, search no further. The current host called Top Hosting (THC) Center is where I have moved and I got to say that THC has the best support, fast servers, and great unbeatable deals. Why say that? Well, to prove it to you (to those who are reading this and already are saying I'm wrong), I will compare Hostdime, Hostgator, Velcom, and CreatureWeb with THC. I will ensure that I provide my problems I have had with the competitors in the past. This is from my experience and others who I have spoke with. I thank Top Hosting Center for being generous and supporting Volk Defense. I also thank Eric and everyone at Top Hosting Center and give them a thanks also! So lets get these rounds and get ready to see whose the best.
Round 1: Hostgator vs. THC
Well this is quite a challenge, not. Hostgator says that their "packages" come with all the things they say they do. What I mean by that is if they offer you 6TB of bandwidth, do you think that really is all yours? From my experience and others, if you start "hogging" the server and take more than half your bandwidth, you should receive a warning. Now Hostgator isn't all that bad, it has 1000GB of Space unlimited bandwidth (highest package) while THC has, well, 1000GB and 33TB of Bandwidth, a free domain, and more. and oops i forgot, did i mention that THC gives a free dedicated IP with your hosting? I would like to see Hostgator eat up this competition.
Round 2: Hostdime vs. THC
I have had been with Hostdime a very long time and it is where I'm moving my Volk Defense away from because of the problems I had there, which I will explain. Server uptime was 99% and for me it was lower than that. My server was down so much, Volk Defense cannot have been accessed for the next 3 days. And the worst thing was that I had the smallest package which was 200GB of space and 2TB of Bandwidth, I just imagine how bad it would have been if I have had ordered the highest package. Nevertheless, 1000GB of space and 33TB of Bandwidth still beats even the highest package of 800GB of space and 8TB of bandwidth on Hostgator and the price too. Just like the slogan said to me when I was having very bad times with hostdime: Hosting. Servers. Problems.
Round 3: Velcom
Wow, I can't even begin with this company. Besides their very good Terms of Service they have, their customer support and customer support quality sucks. I will put here a real conversion I had with a 2-Day Waiting ticket:
Me: Can you please cancel my account? I know there is a 30 day money back guarantee. I would like you to terminate my account, the email under my account is [removed] with the website [removed]. I will expect an answer from you. Thank you!
Support: Dear Customer: I see you signup in March, is there anything you are not happy with our service? Thanks.
Me: I like your service, It seems I was mistaken for features that was only on dedicated servers. But I would still like to cancel my account here. Thank you!
Support: Dear Customer: I can setup a dedicated server for only $59. Are you intereted that? Thanks.
Me: No Thank you. I have seen that VelCom has charged 1$ to my CC Account. Please cancel as I have made my final decision. Thank you.
Support: Dear Customer: The cancelaltion request has been pu tin the queue and will be processed. Thanks.
Me: How long does it take to cancel? It has been more than 4+ days since your response. I have checked my bank and nothing is refunded.
Support: Dear Customer: The cancelaltion request has been put in the queue and will be processed. Thanks
The cusomer support is slow and I'm not sure if you haven't noticed the grammar errors on the typing because that is exactly how they wrote it to me. I would say that Velcom isn't anywhere near as good and will never will be as good as THC. Velcom is out for the count! If you want to take Velcom as a hosting, make sure you read their slogan, Hosting & eBusiness. Complicated.
Round 4: CreatureWeb vs. THC
The final competitor, will this hosting will THC? I think not. I have been to the website and it seems pretty slow, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the main website has to have the best server to show that their servers are fast, and apparently CreatureWeb is showing that their website is probably hosted on their own shared hosting. And the packages are very small that I seriously doubt that 2000MB of space and 30GB transfer is going to help (when it's the biggest hosting package). And support is really slow, they used to have live chat before, but I wonder what happened to it? Overall, Top Hosting Center is the best for me and I ensure it will be for you too. The customer support is up almost all night and they are very patient and welcoming to you. They are the only hosting company that offers free dedicated IP's for your website. You don't believe me? You can goto myipneighbors which is a reverse IP tool and you will see only one site on my dedicated IP. I also encourage you to check out their site and see for yourself! Visit here!
