Default Who's your host?

I use www.openmindhosting.com - and I've stuck with them because of their rock-solid, stable service. Their support's not bad either!

What's your and why?

I use carl (csnewmedia)!

Carl and his team respond promptly to all my enquries even weekends (should I have said that? : P ) The price is very decent for the high level of personal service you receive.

I'm a customer of Carl's, and can recommend his service based on my own experiences, and those of others I've spoken to.

YICHosting are also good, and well worth a look, if only because I did their website

I'm a new kid on the block, and use Lightbeing Creations' solar powered web hosting.

Great reliability and support, always with a personal touch. But then I would say that

Default ssl space issues

I have recently been looking for a host that will let me host a number of domains that can have access to ssl space in their own domain name.

I can find hosting for one domain, but none that let me add more domains to the account with ssl space. The thing is I want to offer my customers the chance of seeing I take their privacy seriously and use ssl space for my sites.

Is this a silly, unworkable idea - or does someone have any suggestions?

We offer hosting plans that can host multiple domains and each domain can have it's own SSL certificate.

Please get in touch with me via PM or through our site as we can provide a discount for multiple SSL certificates.

We use Bluepark Solutions, who also provide our ecommerce web-design/builder solution. I have worked in the IT industry for too many years to mention, and I can safely say I have never seen such excellent service and support.

Default Mix and Match

Our clients won't accept anything less than Tier 1 hosting for the applications we host of their behalf - for that part of the business we use RACKSPACE and they Rock!! These guys live customer service.

For high bandwidth and space where the requirements are not 'bulletproof' I use Bluehost. The deal is incredible - £3.50 a month for more space and bandwidth than you can ever use, tools like joomla, wordpress, ecommerce baskets, photo galleries etc all configured with one click via simple scripts... super!

I'm not in any need of hosting just at the minute, but I was wondering which control panel(s) you provide?

Hi Mat,

We run both Plesk and cPanel on our shared services, we give you the choice of control panel on our shared hosting page.

We use a selection of hosts. Free Web Hosting and Domain Name Registration Services by Doteasy.com, BT.com: Broadband Internet, mobile and fixed telecommunications products and service from BT for home and business (shudder!) and more recently we have used Conceptstore.

Why do you use a selection? Any particular reason?

Haha! Excellent post, not because it was enormously funny but because I always read it as E Zed P Zed hosting..
not E Zee P Zee

that's cleared that up

I use OpenMind - have done for years without problem - support is second to none!

Total domain integration and an easy to use control panel (Helm), makes uploading and updating sites easy from anywhere around the world.
