if is shared, none of them is good,all of them have a lot of limitations and restrictions.
@racksx Thank You Very Much dear, tell me mean of limitations? bandwith or storage?
No, for example hostgator has apache limitation for visits, if you get 100 visits on the same time, you will see a pretty nice error called limitation.appc or something, also if your site runns a bit more php proccesses, you again will see same problem, we had this issues with customers which left hostgator and switched to us.
@racksx OMG..! Realy ? i don't know.. thank you for sharing
You can try it and see if works,else ask for refund they will offer it.
SITECOUPON001 – $0.01 – This will enable you to get the first month for just 1 cent for baby and hatchling plan. All other plans takes $9.95 OFF.
both owned by same company , i think would be same quality
check their tos, they hide their limit on it
@racksx but we need to transer our site to new host,we have over the 8GB storage, not easy
I would definitely go with hostgator because @jarland is there
Any provider offer the transfer in Free even if is one GB or 100 GB.
haven't tried ipage yet, but Hostgator has very limited cpu usage allowance. grab a cheap VPS instead
@kyaky Thank You For sharing..
@2014 I have a nice cPanel server in New York with TurnKeyInternet. If you're interested, feel free to shoot me over a PM or message me here! I'd be glad to see what you are needing for this
Hostgator asks for Country/Photo ID, though not sure if it is only for the 1 cent promotion or for any plans. Just saying if it's an issue for you.
edit: and 250.000 inodes limit per account.
None of them good. Hostgator has limitations. Ipage server is slow and theit php, mysql, and other addons like GD library, Ioncube loaders are 5 years old.
Both servers show mostly 1 second response time.
I recomment siteground as host.
i also interested into this thing, i was on mochahost but stilll need more time to set it up
None of them are good. There are many good shared hosts other than these two.
Go to the link if you haven't read about this yet.

Have one at ipage and they are bombarding me with sales.
tbh None
None. If you still want a shared hosting (because you cannot handle a vps by yourself), then chose some small companies with absolutely NO unlimited features. Pay a couple of $ more per month but use small / medium hosters with no more than some thousand clients. They usually have better service, better servers and a better and personal approach to their clients.
Siteground or JaguarPC or CatalystHost would be my recommendations for shared.
Then rotate every time the company hits a certain number of clients, always remember to keep your site a moving target and express anger at the owner of it's previous residence for selling out.
Kinda reminds me of when I was a teenager. The cool band was always so cool until everyone liked them, then they were just crappy sellouts. Sometimes I think that mentality carried over to adulthood and got expressed in other ways for some people. Nobody ever talks about the hundreds of thousands of godaddy clients that are perfectly happy, no the truth of how everyone's experience goes is really found in reading shady internet reviews in a cut throat market.
Buy what you want. But don't ask power users what to use for shared hosting. I tried out the new godaddy cpanel for example, freaking awesome integration and fast. But they're still a taboo name around these parts.
shared host? i'd go w/ 1984.is or gigahost.dk
Then you want something much more than shared hosting.
For most sites, 2 visits 'on the same time' is busy. Four 'visits on the same time' is truly impressive... 100 is out of sight.
i believe these kind of traffic only happens on porn sites. or the website is a really popular one
Any site can get a good boost of traffic at random from brute force, scanning for exploits, crawlers gone crazy. The key is that websites should only be dynamic when the content is dynamic, and truly dynamic sites should be placed where they have room to burst above average sites. If a site doesn't have truly dynamic content and is serving itself dynamically, it's poor design. Static content should be served as static, and then traffic doesn't have much impact. No one is more responsible for a website than it's creator.
@jarland If a user wants to host a low traffic personal or business site with some hundred of viewers per day and does not have the knowledge to build his own server, then, shared hosting is good. I haven't used Godaddy for about a year. Last time, I installed there a low traffic sport site (joomla installation) in their "grid" hosting. The owners of the site wanted an easy environment in a "big" company. Site grow up from 350 viewers per day to 1500 and then, became many hours per day extremely slow and GD shut down the hosting twice because of high load. I moved the site to stablehost and... voila! the same site with the same installation was on fire!
GD servers are overcrowed IMHO but, it's true, it's all about what you need and what are you expecting. Support service of GD is really good, for a big company with millions of sites hosted in their platform. Ticket system is slow, but you can call them and with an average time of waiting 10-15 m. (again, at least last year I had a site there) staff was there to try to fix your problem.
I still register almost all of my domains there and never had any problem with that service and I still host a very small wordpress blog there in their free with the domain service, in behalf of a friend of mine that owns the site and the domain. I didn't have to use their support yet (1,5 years till now) and the site is working fine (although with 60-70 viewers per day).
P.S.: In my teenager years (long long long long time ago) I had a band with some friends of mine but it was disbanded before we got huge audience - or should I say, any serious audience! So, we kept all the goodness there! (just kidding)
Just look at some reviews. Hostgator has so many bad reviews, although i do not see many ipage bad reviews. This is the best way to decide for yourself
