Hosting that I
personally recommend
"Below are few hosting companies that I personally recommend. I insist
that you research their web hosting services first and compare with
other host before you decide to sign up. Ask yourself. What the few
main requirements that you are looking for in a host and decide carefully by
comparing the features, price and most importantly, hosting support" -
HostPulse.com Founder, Terence L
|
ServerDispatch.com - Price starts at US$159 per month. Generous amount
of hard disk space, control panel features, bandwidth, memory size. The
company offers good server management system. Please research before
purchasing.
|
WebsiteSource.com - One of the good
VPS plans I
have tried and tested.
|
ExaBytes.com - One of the many hosting
companies in Asia that is worth
researching. One of my hosting plans had its server changed frequently which
I thought there has been interruptions, but service is still available while
under maintenance.
|
IpowerWeb.com - Recently, one of the
host that we have
pleasant dealing with. Hosting is affordable, but features may be
limited.
|
|
SingleHop Dedicated
Servers - In the year of 2008, I highly rate this company as one of the
very best dedicated hosting companies around. Technical support staff has
been friendly and it is easy to reach the management if there are any
unsolved problems.
