Title: Search for Reliable Hosting
Post by: gdenvhotou on Dec 02, 2024, 12:11 AM
Hey folks! I'm a web dev specializing in commercial sites, and I've got a bone to pick with hosting providers. I started with Infobox, but it went belly up after a merger and control panel issues that took months to resolve. I migrated to another host, brought over 15 happy clients, and raked in affiliate cash for two years until they suddenly canceled the program. The catch? According to their TOS, if you don't bring in at least one paying customer in 12 months, your referral bonuses get suspended and existing bindings are axed. Talk about a kick in the teeth!

But that's not the only issue. Their tech support has gone dark, taking over 24 hours to respond to affiliate program queries, and sometimes I get a canned response from a bot. When I finally get a human on the line, they're often MIA for days. And don't even get me started on the phone support – it's like trying to get blood from a stone.

Based on this debacle, I've decided to cut ties with this host and take my projects (and clients) elsewhere. If you're looking for a reliable RU host with fast support and a solid affiliate program, I'm currently eyeing Hostland. Their tech support and pricing seem on point, but I need to dig deeper into their affiliate rules before making a final decision.

I've had my fair share of hosting provider woes. Infobox's demise and the subsequent issues with my current host have left me questioning the reliability of these companies. However, I'm not one to give up easily.
After researching Hostland, I'm impressed with their tech support and pricing. Before making a final decision, I'll be digging deeper into their affiliate program rules to ensure they meet my needs.

I'm a huge fan of NetAngels hosting, and their affiliate program is pretty sweet too. Although I haven't referred anyone to them yet, I can attest that it's a breeze to manage clients' projects with their platform.

With NetAngels, you can spin up a container (VPS) in no time, build a site from scratch with a custom domain, SSL certificates, and databases, and then seamlessly transfer the entire package to the client via the control panel - all without breaking a sweat or requiring any technical hand-holding. Plus, their robust infrastructure and 24/7 support give me peace of mind, knowing that my clients' online assets are in good hands.

I've got a sweet deal with NetAngels hosting, and I'm always stoked to share the love by referring fellow devs to their top-notch infrastructure. The referral link is conveniently located in my sig, and I'm thrilled to report that they've revamped their referral program to offer perpetual payouts.
When I've encountered any snags, their tech support squad has always been hot on the case, resolving issues in a flash - talk about a seamless experience
