Best Webhosting Suggestions??
-
All of our websites are wordpress sites hosted by BlueHost, and I've been completely satisfied. They are however lower traffic sites (30-100) visitors per day. When I called them I think I talked to someone in Utah and the support was great.
If I were in the market for new hosting right now I'd probably be looking into Media Temple.

I just tried Liquid Web...I was going to go with them, but twice I called and the voice connection was horrible and when I asked the sales rep to explain the benefits of going with liquid web as opposed to other providers, she almost acted annoyed...it was very uncomfortable...not a great way to enter into a business relationship....unfortunately they are scratched off the list of possibilities as a place to bring our rapidly growing web agencies client websites....
Trying Media Temple and your suggested Pair...thanks!

So you know that if you're hosting WordPress. And you want to really speed and security. WP engine and Page.ly both outstanding WordPress only hosts that are extremely fast then built to be quick and safe. Offer discounts to SEOmoz pro members
Pagely offers 30% Off All Plans for life. That would bring your total under $20.
The WP engine offers 4 months of free hosting. If you take that into consideration it is less money than obviously paying for its full price.
These are each managed and extremely great companies to work with.
Just for informational reasons and because I think you should know
ZippyKid offers you an enterprise class DNS system and content delivery network
For $25 a month it is a WordPress only site like the others. However it too offers incredible speed and customer support.
Web synthesis is 8 web hosting company built for managed WordPress again however they like the others are outstanding security as far as speed and support. I felt you should know these at least exist.
Lastly page fully keeps giving you 30% off every new account you add and they're backed by fire host which is a 100% enterprise host.
Zippy kid charges $15 more per a site or $10 more per hundred thousand views per month
WP engine goes up to a much higher plan that would equal $10 a website if you were running all WordPress. It would be a good choice.
Web synthesis is $200 for no more than 3 domains so you don't save a lot of money adding sites. However they're very very good
here is the link you need to find the discounts through SEOmoz
http://www.seomoz.org/pro-perks
So you know these sites are going as far fixing that work hacked site's that was attacked for free and giving you a lot more than what you actually get by paying it to each different vendor to make a host like this.
Content delivery networks and any cast DNS make your website very fast along with private clouds and top tier data centers that's where the true speed comes in and I would suggest if it's WordPress one of these.
Again I understand you set under $20 and I do believe page.ly we now meets that criteria I don't know if you are going to use it for WordPress were not but if you are I would recommend using one of these.
So you know as well if it's not WordPress that's fine of course**, then** I would use pair networks and I would add either MAX CDN or CDN77 each content delivery network costs under $39 for 1 terabyte that's much more than many websites will ever use in a year. This will add speed to any of your sites you can also use a company like DNS made easy to get 10 domains hosted on their anycast DNS network with 11 year uptime

I should also tell you SEOmoz perks gives you great deals on domains
If you need a name that is registered or very unique http://www.dynadot.com/ is the place to go a nother that seomoz made a deal me to deal with with is http://www.namecheap.com/

I'm happy you like my pick thank you. I actually really love hosting and spend a lot of time in investigating it. One thing you might find very interesting is this this is the top 40 hosts in the country and then they go by the top 10 top 5 sometimes from month to month tell me if you see a pattern http://news.netcraft.com/archives/category/performance/
I can cut to the chase pair networks is in 8/10 of the top ten in the world MT can't do anything link that. I could give you 100 links that show media Temple is decent further extremely high-end customers other than that they are not a good hosting system for shared host am sorry it's the truth and GS is not good it looks nice.
Media Temple doesn't show up I don't believe not list I can search for them
http://snnyc.com/2011/04/media-temple-issue/
Disclaimer I use a host web synthesis that uses a specific lamp they built on media Temple its work all right so this is not at all on media Temple as a company however it is a serious bash on them for this long and telling us its current GS using their GS service wasting people's money and having one of the slowest shared systems on the market and most complained about and by far in the lowest bottom 5% for uptime CS I don't care if it comes out or not I have no interest in it.
Below is a testimonial from a man Unger put the link up to this is for the person asking the question it's not a rant

2 main products line: dv and shared. Those comes in several flavors. Have been with them 3 years and had both gs and dv. DV is not recommendable unless you are extremely ignorant in IT. They offer a great support in IT and guide you through a learning process so that you do not have to rely on them and they save support money. But what they offer at 50 bucks a month for the DV is much lower than other reliable companies for the same price. "

Do you host a little bit everything?
Yes liquid Web to be honest is not the same type of customer support that you're going to get from pair media Temple are using GS man?
There is a beautiful side to media Temple it is a gorgeous looking system. And their support is not bad but not great but they're not bad. There dedicated or virtual dedicated stuff is okay its really not anything that you want to use until you get into the VE or the helix cloud.
I hope you have a good experience on media Temple but I can tell you one thing man GS scanner crash
-
I am if interested why would you go to media Temple? Especially shared there really not known for reliability or speed grid infrastructure of their WordPress place them under with 3 hosts as suggested hosts however they've removed them and replace them with laughing squid since something based off rack space much more reliable. and it's also not showing up.
They look cool I as well
all the best ,

Four attempts to contact a salesperson at Liquid Web was a complete failure and aggravation. They are a good host I am sure, but they didn't have it together enough to have a competent, friendly sales rep with a working headset available. And when I did get a rep on the phone...which I could barely hear, they seemed annoyed that I dare ask what the benefits of hosting with Liquid Web are. Really, I wanted to go with them, but I felt like I was already seeing red flags. Pair, honestly...and perhaps this was a mistake, but I didn't like their website...it seemed very bare bones and antiquated....I mean was not looking for a host with the flashiest website by any means, but their site was concerning to me....too, basic...like not even minimalist, but just looked unsophisticated. It made me concerned they may be very frugal, and I feared that frugality may also apply to purchasing infrastructure...and Orange....eh...I don't know..just wasn't feeling it. With Media Temple I spoke with someone that sounded very professional, not salesy, was quite candid and knowledgeable....he was one of their engineers...site was nice....their market growth impressive....I just got a good feeling from them. Perhaps I had the wrong mindset in my decision, but hey....it's $20 buck a month and I am going to be bringing on about 4 more hosting providers, so I am not too concerned. Honestly....liquid web REALLY irked me....

Well I am going to also go with your suggestion, I am going to pick up some hosti g from Pair next. Thanks for all your input!
-
I am glad I was able to help. Please let me know if you have any issues with pair as I doubt you will. But they really are a fantastic web host and I think you made a great decision. I'm happy I could've been of assistance
Sincerely,
Thomas
