what do u look for in a host.

dontmaimyourself
I would like to what all the other users a trap17 look for when chooseing a host.

I think one of the most important aspects is reliability, some host are down too much.

But I have found no such problems with Trap17.

nice bandwidth (but not too much), nice amount of storage, minimal chance of downtime. I think Trap17 fits all of my requirements. laugh.gif

Some hosts that claim unlimited bandwidth and storage have so much down-time that you can never get to your site and it might aswell not be there. saying that some are as reliable as trap17, I also looked for mysql support for my phpbb forum.

What I look for in a host is honesty, decent body, cute face, and smart.

I look for ftp, reliability, php. "Unlimited" is almost always never unlimited at many hosts.

Haha, like you, I also go for cPanel, Diskspace and Bandwidth... and I agree with you that Trap17 provides all of this for posting. However, I have found another host that gives you much more Diskspace and Bandwidth than the normal Logic Plan, which only gives 20mb where my host gives 1000mb diskspace without posting and 5000mb diskspace and 50000mb Bandwidth with 50 one liner posts per month. I am planning to upgrade soon, after I do everything. Once I use everything up, I will then proceed to move back to Trap17 and choose the unlimited plan. Of course, that will take a while, seeing that I have a lot of space to use up in a long period of time.

But anyway, by that time, I will probably be all advanced and pro already and know php3 and php4 and java and all that coding off by my heart already, so the changing of hosts should not be a problem then.

A very good topic if I do say so smile.gif.

In a host I look for cPannel, FTP, Good amount of Bandwidth, prices.
These are the main things I look for. Xisto/Trap17 seem to be doing all this for me at fantastic price's and services will stay with them forever biggrin.gif

Soviet Rathe
I look for storage and bandwidth
at least 5GB storage and at least 50-100GB bandwidth
also to check for downtime I always read reviews on the host.
I also MUST HAVE a MySQL database because when I use a host. it's more then likely that I will be hosting some advanced content and it must support PHP.

odomike
what i consider most is reliablity, speed and uptime. bandwidth, storage capacity, installed scripts, does it have ftp? (answer=true) and webmail. are also considered wink.gif
