Hadn’t used Hostgator myself, but out of larger hosting companies they seem to have mostly positive feedback.

Myself I am still on LiquidWeb shared. Really want to try out their VPS, but traffic is not large enough to bother with that. :)

I’m going back to Hostgator. Never mind if I have to pay extra, as long as my sites don’t go down several times each day for a few hours. This sucks so bad. I have 9 websites on this shared hosting account. They’re only using little resources since most of them are static sites and my sites only have a few hundred visitors a day in total.

I still have about 3 months left before my hosting expires. I’m not going to renew, even if they offer me a 99% discount.

Sorry to hear that. I wish you to find a good host, it saves a lot of nerves when you are confident your site is sufficiently stable and you can get solid support when you need it.

Yep, only one site (for now). Control panel is cpanel (with a lot of customization, not a generic drop-in with all defaults).

I am not sure I understand you right, but $15 is not VPS it is shared. LiquidWeb prices for VPS start at ~$60 as far as I remember.

Do you only host this domain? If not, what does LiquidWeb offer for a control panel? I am using Innohosting Reseller edition (non-vps), and to be honest, I am ready to spur for a VPS somewhere. $15 a month seems close to what I am paying now without a VPS. One thing I will miss with Innohosting is their discount Domains and they make them private for free (godaddy charges 10 bucks a year).

Well, since I am still on shared I am not highly qualified to make recommendations for those.

LiquidWeb has plenty of VPS and dedicated options between their core offers and newer StormOnDemand project. Try to start from there and then look around, considering your hardware needs and budget.

Do you have any recommendation of good VPS or dedicated servers with “affordable” price? I am sick of every time their host down.

Well, shared will always have its limitations. And WpWebHost’s semi-dedicated is just a fancy and misleading name for less crowded sharing server. By the way I vaguely remember it was 10 accounts per server in the past, but now it became 20-30 according to their specs.

Everyone who needs seriously reliable hosting moves on to VPS or dedicated servers sooner or later.
