Other providers we tried

So to let you know the other hosting providers we have tried and have had experience with:

1. GoDaddy
Think that it will be good to go with one of the big guns, we put 2 of our best clients in with their hosting packages. Some issues we encountered from day 1.

• Creating Emails - it is not a automatic thing. For some reason GoDaddy creates them manually and took almost 2 days to create one (as it was apparently a holiday in the US)
• Deleting - Deleting anything from GoDaddy also takes time and you see a pending message.
• Network Password pop-up box appearing intermittently - We get kept getting our clients calling saying it is asking for the Password. This happened for about a month not all the time but on certain days. So then we thought it was time to move out as either the Godaddy servers were failing on certain days.

2. iPage

iPage was one of those low cost unlimited hosting option we tried for about a year. They had their server ups and downs which we really couldn't afford to have. Another negative thing about iPage is their control panel. It is not very flexible at all for a web developer.

3. FatCow

We recently found out that FatCow and iPage come under the same company. Sometimes when we go into a chat session with them they wanted to know through which website we are chatting to them. The FatCow servers went down more often that iPage which was the reason why we switched to iPage.

4. WebHosting Pad

We tried these guys for a short time. There was nothing special with them either that we can boast about nor was there anything bad. Their Customer Service was bad at one point but this was while back which was one of the reasons why we moved away.
