Host1me Web Hosting Review

This post has been on my drafts since July 12, 2011. Yeah, that’s how lazy I am lately with blogging but I’m a bit into mood lately so I’m doing this little by little.

So, here’s my review for Host1me. My site is no longer hosted by them, but I know I had to let the world know more about this hosting website.

Host1me - Your Hosting Solution

Host1me for a new hosting company isn’t so bad. The service is great, whenever you’ve got problems expect a good response within a few hours up to 1 day. It is being managed by professional web designer Menjil Villalobos which happens to be a good friend of mine. He’s also a graduate of computer related course and good in programming I believe.

He wanted to try out hosting and I must say he did good. During my stay with Host1me, there were only very few down times which was about 1 minute to 5 minutes. But for some reason there was just some problem happening (during the time before I left). I also had to save some bucks $$ so I had to transfer my website to my own hosting site.

Anyways, their hosting may be pricey – but I must say it’s all worth it! The cPanel also have R1soft which is a pretty neat add-on although I was not able to use it because there were some issues fixed at the time.

For now, it’s for you guys to judge. I will recommend them to you for Host1me is pretty good in terms of up-time and customer service.

I was hosted by them for about 2 months. I was going to post in WHT but I feel like posting here first. I haven’t been active in WHT lately. I might get addicted to offers there XD And oh, just in case you’re curious – Host1me is in no way scam at all. They’re legit and a good web host especially for those who need excellent up-time :) If given the chance, I’d love to be hosted by them again but for now I need to save :3 So that’s for those who are wondering if Host1me is scam in some way. They’re real and the owner is really an approachable person too.

My Semoweb Experience!

No offense against Volumedrive, but because they still haven’t deployed my VPS after almost a week, I decided to purchase a budget VPS from Semoweb instead after browsing a bit in WHT. I found a good plan plus added a bit of memory to my RAM because I thought it would be better with at least 768 Mb of Ram, I do have 1 Gig burst of RAM :)

Moving on, their support is really great so far. Plus up time is pretty good, especially because I’m currently using Lighttpd with my VPS, I tried Apache but I had trouble setting mod_rewrite module plus it uses a lot of RAM! I couldn’t upgrade my installed WordPress as well so yeah, I tried Lighttpd and it was awesome.

As for some uncertainties, I asked support ticket regarding installations also with IP Tables and they reply back really quick about 30 minutes, like they did claim in their website and offers. Dustin, the owner seems to be a nice guy as well – one time, he answered my question regarding this software I wanted to install for security of my VPS. The dudes at WHT are also helpful, there are tons of experts there and I’m glad I’m a member because it makes it easy for me to ask questions, read stuffs that leaves me with new knowledge.

Now I’m planning to move some of the websites I’m currently hosting through Hostgator to my VPS, then I will be also getting a shared plan either from Semoweb again, or my other trusted hosts, Preston Host and maybe Host1me too! Depends on my budget and specific needs although I like Preston Host’s current new deal with their new server, Saturn. However, my funds from my client has not arrived yet. My paypal is empty LOL.

Anyway, so far my Semoweb experience is superb! I am still waiting for my Volumedrive VPS though, after all their VPS offer still have good specs as well which I want to enjoy. But I suppose it’s going to take another week~

I hope I won’t run out of slots? Anyway, I have setup my other domains as well and they have WordPress installed now particularly, Girly Nerd blog and Just Blogged.

In Girly Nerd I will be posting my VPS experiences or whatnots then on Just Blogged, I will simply post my latest updated blogs so my blog friends won’t be confused.
