My reviews on hosting companies I been with

Oct 30, 2011 2:17AM PDT

Hello this is my short review of the hosting companies I used in the past and right now.

Right now im hosted with Hostlatte.com, they been great! Almost no downtime; had experienced 1 downtime this month due to a server maintainence which is reasonable. And another downtime earlier this year. The best part of Hostlatte is that they offer a Anytime Money back guarantee. The speed is great, havent had any issues with the speed. The plans are dirt cheap! I got a free domain and 1 year of hosting for $12.95. I found this deal on Slickdeals.net under the coupon section. Its a black friday special or something. Anyways I had a shared plan before but upgraded to this black friday plan. The negative part of this host is that the live chat is not always on, and they offer no phone support. I never had a reason to do a live chat or call them cause they dont have any issues, but i would like that service just in case. They answers most of my support tickets in a reasonable time (avg 30 mins. Other than those negative Hostlatte.com has been great.

Another Host I hosted with in the past was Cookiehost. A lot of people used them for personal sites! They are direct cheap too! $5/$10/$15 per year!!! The only problem with this cheap service is that there servers are packed!!! I had constant slowness on all my sites. The downtime is every now and then, but that doesnt really matter cause I only have personal sites. If you are trying to run a business I would try to avoid cookiehost, but if you are on a budget and dont mind outages every now and then, then cookie host is ok.

Dreamhost was another Host I had hosting. Dream host was pretty good! A free domain and unlimited hosting. I had some downtime, but the speed is great on Dreamhost. I don't know why but I dislike Dreamhost control panel. Its not user friendly at all! I rather stick with cPanel cause that panel is very user friend. Other than the control panel dream host is pretty good.
