Webhosting Geeks: making it simple to find a webhost

Some of you may remember the problems I had with my old webhost, most of the issues were caused by them not being able to handle the amount of traffic RealityTVFan.org was receiving – they kept telling me I would have to pay for a dedicated hosting account as no shared webhosting provider would be able to accept my site.

After much searching and headaches and site downtime I discovered my new host Hostgator, and over a year later now I just want to praise them and say that aside from a few issues which were dealt with quickly and are to be expected with running any large website – they’ve been great! No major issues, no major dramas, just smooth sailing :)

I am pleased about this because finding a new host can be a massive pain. My recent search for a new ISP reminded me of how stressful it can be – it’s just like the online version of moving house I suppose!

Sites like WebhostingGeeks.com are an absolute godsend if you are looking for new web hosting. They list all of the well known hosts and compare them for you, simply having a list of all the ‘main players’ in the hosting scene in one place saves you hours of searching in itself – but to then be able to easily compare what they offer and see real reviews and ratings made of them by people who have actually used the services is priceless. They even monitor a sites uptime and display it in a graph!

They have a blog dedicated to web hosting news, guides, security issues and much more.

Webhosting Geeks has been around since 2004 so it has a large database of reviews, ratings and webhosts making it a must use resource if you need new hosting, so go ahead and check them out if that’s you :)

Site News: Host Move update

Just a quick update to say that, touch wood, the move I made to my new host a few weeks ago has been a complete success. I have not had any down or slow time at all, even when it’s been an exceptionally high traffic day — it’s still early days I suppose, but so far so good!

Site News – Moving hosts again

You may have noticed the ‘ChipIn’ widget appear up there over the weekend. I’d like to thank the seven people who already donated towards RealityTVFan.org hosting bills, you guys never fail to be generous :)

As it says up there, I will be moving hosts and paying the bill regardless. This is my site and my responsibility, so donations are really not expected but come greatly appreciated.

I plan to move to the new host in about a weeks time, and fingers crossed I’ll be able to stay there full time, moving hosts is a hassle. But on the plus side, at least this time it’s a planned host change, so there will be zero or very little downtime involved.

I will post again closer to the switch so you know not to freak out if there is a little downtime.
Thanks again, you guys rock :)
