Webhost wanted

To echo Alex:

We’ve been delighted with our current hosts, Ace of Space, but as our site and domain empire expands, it’s beginning to look like it would be economical for us to get a hosting package that allows unlimited domains.

A friend recommends IV Hosting, which offers 3GB of space and unlimited domains for only US $99/year. A great deal, but not the most widely-known company, so we’re exploring the various possibilities. After all, switching web hosts isn’t like buying a house or getting married; it’s a serious, long-term commitment that can potentially enhance or destroy your connections to the outside world.

So I’d be delighted to hear from anyone with a reseller host to recommend. We’re looking for hosting of unlimited domains, ideally also IMAP support, and somewhere or other I swear I saw somebody offer free domain registrations into the deal. We might also consider Virtual Private Server options but those sound a bit high-maintenance, so I think we’ll be happier with a reseller package.

I’m going to stress how much we’ve appreciated the service at Ace of Space. Unless you’re planning on unleashing the kind of online presence that requires a huge boardroom stainless steel chairs, a giant illuminated map of the world and a guy at the head of the table stroking a white persian cat — which is more or less what we have in mind — they’re a terrific solution.

    I am very happy with dreamhost.com

    Thanks for the suggestion. You aren’t alone in recommending Dreamhost; I’ve heard good things about them from a number of sources. My one hesitation is that they’re priced substantially higher than some of the others, and don’t offer the limitless domains they do.
