Best Website Hosting I Have Ever Had

Best Website Hosting I Have Ever Had Posted May 16, 2009 @ 10:25pm by Phil

I recently started moving my websites back to ICDSoft, a former web host. They were my host for several years back in the day until I went on a development spree and started multiple websites. Since ICDSoft doesn't support multiple domain hosting, I went searching for a host that did.

I finally settled on a host that supported multiple domain hosting and was reasonably well priced. At first there were some problems with the mail, etc, but they did eventually get resolved. It was towards the end of my time with them that their service really started to suffer. My websites were down probably 30% of the time, running very slow, and their customer support was terrible.

After I got tired of paying for that host, I moved my websites to the Linux server I keep running in my bedroom. Although very slow, it did the job and gave me complete control over everything. My internet hasn't been as reliable as it used to be, and now that I am back down to a respectable three websites, I figured it was time to return to my beloved ICDSoft.

Returning to ICDSoft was the best decision I have made in a long time. Within 20 minutes my site was up and running on their servers. I wanted to do some fancy things like have some subdomains continue to point to my Linux box and use GMail for my mail. No problem. Sent them an e-mail and in literally two minutes it was done. Oh ICDSoft, how I have missed you! Even though you have to create a new account for each domain (they do give you a discount for more than one domain) I plan on having the remainder of my sites hosted with them as well. Even with the multiple accounts, it will end up costing about the same as the last host, but be far superior.
