Thread: Hosting Company Recommendations

1&1 is a criminally awful domain registrar, and it appears their hosting is no better. Here is a response from "tech support" to a customer request to enable PEAR on his shared hosting:

> Dear <Firstname> <Lastname>, (Customer ID 123456789)

> Thank you for contacting us.

> Regarding your concern. You need to contact pear support on that matter.
> We refer the website google.com.

Hmmm, that sounds like a "Help Desk" response I've gotten at least once per organization that I have been a part of the last 15 years...
"Sir, please submit your trouble ticket for your loss of Web/Internet services via....yup, the Web Portal that is unreachable "

We are currently using Simplexwebs, Eleven2 Cloud & Infinitie Colocation.

These choices were made upon research of reviews, support responses and other important factors required to us. For the past 6 months all 3 have provided us with top quality services and are highly recommended, note these are not budget providers but are worth every penny you pay for the outstanding network tier and support.

See here if you are serious about a host company that will take care of you:

50% Off For Life!!! CloudLinux, FFMPEG, PHP 5.3, Softaculous Premium!

Yes, I do recommend them to everyone.
