Reliable hosting needed - Developers

Anyone know a rock solid reliable host running cPanel? I run a review site, which has now got to the stage that companies like Three are actually posting the reviews on their product pages. I have had to transfer hosts three times due to them either flying away, losing my files etc and I cannot afford for this to happen at this stage. I need it to be constantly up, fast, accessible. Any ideas?

You could try Lithium Hosting [url]https://www.lithiumhosting.com/[/url] I have never used them myself but I hear good things about them. [editline]25th April 2011[/editline] and they have a trial period of 30 days.

Amazon?

Get a VPS from a solid provider like Fanatical

Lithium. You don't need a VPS.

Sure many others on here buy from them too, I have no complaints.

Don't, buy the 5$ unlimited everything hosting from xenonservers.com, they are extremely reliable, and i have had my website with them for over a year and 1/2 now and its got 100% uptime, except when they lost power like 1 time and it was down for about 5mins If you don't mind, use my referrer link [url]http://www.xenonservers.com/clients/aff.php?aff=287[/url]

Any ideas?[/QUOTE] Given that it sounds like you will be getting some serious traffic if you are lucky soon I would seriously consider you getting a vps. Not only will it be able to handle traffic better than shared hosting if it is set up correctly but it will also be rock solid. I personally use linode.com for my vps and I have had 159 days solid uptime (that is when I originally bought the node). Fanatical vps is of course a valid choice too. The benefit of a vps is you can scale it up with the more traffic you get. Eventually you may need a dedi but not at this stage. The downside to having a vps is you have to set up everything yourself and it will not have cpanel unless you buy a cpanel licence and install it. Though there are plenty of people in here including myself that would give you some pointers to get you started.

Have a look at this list: [url]http://webhostinggeeks.com/[/url]

[QUOTE=Within;29463000]Have a look at this list: [url]http://webhostinggeeks.com/[/url][/QUOTE] That's not a list of the best, that's a list of the highest paying affiliate accounts. There's so many sites like that making a shit-tonne of money recommending only the most popular hosts, simply because they pay insane prices for new clients (like $140/signup for a $5 shared account). [editline]27th April 2011[/editline] Definitely a good niche to start a site in though!

From what I've heard, cause I never gave money to any of these...

[QUOTE=John the Gr8;29463782]I think BlueHost is the only decent one in the list...

Sorry, forgot to mention I already use VPS's - the hosts of which are what are being unbelievably unreliable. I will check out Linode HTF thank you.

why not get a small and cheap debian dedi? it's not really hard to set-up and you're independent

[QUOTE=Rashy;29471701]There are also decent alternatives to cPanel such as Kloxo which is free.[/QUOTE] People who use VPS don't really need a control panel, and kloxo is alright but they need a web designer for their control panel.

I use cPanel as WHM takes out most of the time I would usually need to configure the server and perform tasks like compiling PHP, it will also let me suck over the site completely from my other server with no effort.
