Host suggestions?
-
I'm currently hosting with Hostgstor and was pleased with the service untl my site started to get big enough to run into problems. The unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space sounds attractive but they don't tell you that they throttle your database connections. Now that I have grown my site to the point where I am getting a few thousand visitors per day I am starting to have issues. I had an article get really popular and the server couldn't handle it. I'm looking for a host that will tolerate some spikes in traffic. (it's ok if I get charged more). I've heard good things about Pair hosting and I'll likely go with them but I thought I'd ask for a few more opinions first. Thanks!

I highly recommend NOT using GoDaddy, their service is okay if your lucky. The problem is that they max out all of their servers with as much clients as they can which can effect your performance if your on one of these. At least thats my experience with their shared options.
I would check out Site5 or Host Rocket if you want to get rid of Host Gator

I've liked TigerTech.net for some time, and that's where Search Engine Land, Matt Cutts, and others are hosted.

Thanks guys. I'm going to check all of these places out and make a decision soon.

I am using the Bluehost.com during 2 years and also I've suggested it to all my clients and so far I didn't get any negative feedback about it.
Also which hosting to choose it might be a very delicate problem and each user solve it randomly! Because each of us have different vision of ideal web hosting!
For you and many others who have this problem, I suggest you to go thought this website:
http://web-hosting-review.toptenreviews.com/
It has a big variety of sharing and dedicated web hosting with detailed review and features for each one.
Hope it will make sense for you.

Rackspace are also very pro. Not used them myself but heard good things about them too...

I actually went to Dreamhost who are a smaller company but serving some BIG customers. Many including myself migrated my 100+ domains to them having had enough of Hostgator. They don't use cPanel but have their own friendly but powerful interface which works well. Tech support is also much better than Hostgator (who I actually didnt find too bad).
From memory they offer a 30 day trial membership where you could check it out. And no Im not a rep or I'd have my affiliate link here. (you checked if that was a link didn't you?).
Hope this helps,

I know that Godaddy isn't the most popular among internet marketers, but I have always received great service from them. I have a virtual dedicated server with them. Works great. They are also supporting a cloud hosting option now.

Hi Marie
Have you considered **Rackspace **? They offer a range of hosting options and are at the higher end of web hosting. As such, they aren't cheap, though as you don't mind paying more, definitely worth looking into.
If they do turn out to be rather too costly, then check out GoDaddy who are less expensive though still provide a great hosting option, so long as the right hosting service is chosen.

Implementing a new Nav Bar: Best practice, SEO benefit, your suggestions?
Hi Mozland, We are going to have a new Nav Bar for our site built from the horror that we currently have to up with. We want to make it a simple affair, similar to The Guardian two-tier Nav Bar - main menu which will drop down to the 2nd tier according to what you clicked on in tier one. Regular stuff, I think. Any suggestions, from your experience, about how best to implement this, what to include, what not to do, what can be included and done to make it as best it can be to get people to peruse our site as easily as possible? Thanks
