Changing hosts!
« on: February 01, 2010, 04:45:03 PM »
I am seriously considering changing my Cold Fusion Games host from Bravenet.com to something else. I have to pay $100 per year from Bravenet for pretty good hosting, but $100 is darned high compared to most hosting packages these days. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should go for?

DO NOT link me to a place like "website-reviews.com" or "top100hosts.com", reviews from those places are meaningless, and don't help. Personal experience, or experience from other people is good.

Anyone know anything about how well .Mac woud work? Or whatever it's called now.

MobileMe (formerly known as .Mac) is $100 a year, and you get 20 GB of webspace along with email, calendar, photos, and contacts that you can access on any internet-connected computer or device, anywhere. Plus you have drag-n-drop access to it all inside the Finder, courtesy of the iDisk, negating the need for extra FTP applications or browser uploads. It's a bit pricy, but it's a pretty good package and very simple to use. There's a limited time trial period you can sign up for, so you can check it out and see if it fits your needs.

I advise you to use xenserv. I know the guy who runs it and he's very helpful. He as some great servers with very little usage (new site). They are reliable and have quick support. Right now every support ticket you file gets forwarded directly to the dev team's phones and they have a gigabit connection. Oh, and what's more is that if you ever need a quick fix and i'm online I can contact the owner directly. ;)

Comparing my rates to what I've seen on other websites, I've decided to stay with Bravenet. I'm paying about $15 more than other websites, but I can get that down to the same rate as others if I pay for 2 years instead of 1. So it's not worth it to change right now.

Thanks anyway guys. :)

Seeing as Alex has no need for this thread anymore:

Does anyone know a good Australian webhost?
