Any recommendations for a solid (stable) hosting company with good rates? My current plan is 24mos for 70.80. They now want 3 times as much to renew.

24 hr support and you can host as many domains as you wish for the same price. for instance, I signed up for $3.95 per month - 3 years up front. But I host 5 sites for the same $3.95 - total, not $3.95 each...
 
Thanks guys,

Well, I ended up going with iPage. They had a special for 36mos @ 1.99/mo. That calculates out to less than a doll hair more than than my other plan plus the third year is free. Most of the features are about the same. Now I just have to rebuild everything from backups.
 
These people are making me crazy.

  • Original company jacks my rates by 3 times
  • I find a new company with a better deal
  • account expires with original company
  • new company provides a crazy account name
  • I ask them if they can change it and they say yes
  • they will have to re-bill me (for the new account name) and then refund the original payment
  • meanwhile, PayPal has an "active subscription" to renew the original hosting and sends them the payment (??!!!)
  • the new company can't complete the transaction (probably because both companies have billed me and the funds are running low)
  • I explain the situation to the new company, so they just bill me again for a different rate (another ding in the account)
  • new company says all the features are the same but it's on $24 for 24mos ($1/mo ... not bad)
  • now I'm waiting for the refunds to show up.
The final outcome seems to be in my favor, but the frustration is intense.
 
I pay a pretty penny for domain renewals. But hosting is not too bad. Overall with domain renewals and hosting I am somewhere around $2500 a year I think...

How Much for My site Ty?

You only have to pay hosting for a flat rate right, so that means about $2495 of that $2500 is for domains?
