Greetings genuine individuals,

I have recently migrated to a VPS from a reliable EU provider and now require a reseller account for a small project that involves four small websites. As I do not wish to put all my eggs in one basket, I want them hosted with a different provider than the VPS issuer. The websites are built with Concrete5 and use about 1GB of space in total, with less than a combined 100 visits per day.

I am willing to pay up to $30-35 per month for a budget. My main criteria are speed, security, reliability, and good support. A dedicated IP would be a plus.

After researching opinions on the forum, my considerations are as follows:

1. HostXnow: I used them until very recently but have some concerns over speed. Chris informed me that this issue has been resolved.
2. Altushost: I have used them in the past, but only for VPS. I am unsure how they are in a shared environment.
3. Shockhosting: I have no knowledge about them.
4. Mechanicweb: I have no experience with them.
5. Host With Love: Is this really their name?

Do you have any suggestions?

Based on your list, I have experience using Hostwithlove and am satisfied overall. I have also contacted and evaluated HostXnow and Mechanicweb in the past. Both are reliable providers, and I can choose either one.

Perhaps I will agree about the choice of Hostwithlove. There are a lot of hosting companies. And it is very difficult to understand who really does the best customer service and technical support. And this does not play a small role. Relying on my experience with this company, I can really recommend them. They have established themselves as one of the best service providers. They are available 24/7/365 days by phone, email, chat and ticket, which helps in case of critical problems.

Cloudways is a managed cloud hosting provider that has been around since 2012 in Malta. It acts as a system integrator, providing access to various services from Digital Ocean, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud and others. They provide simple control panel, managed security, free SSL, CDN, site migration, automatic backup, 24/7 real-time monitoring, but their hosting costs more than going directly to one of their partners, such as Linode.

They offer Shared hosting: $2.56 per month (discounted price), VPS hosting packages starting at $6 per month, and Dedicated Hosting Packages starting at $49 per month. InterServer is unique in the VPS space as they have very cheap plans but don't bind you with extended contracts.
