Thanks I checked it out. Looks good so far :hehe:
see below for info
You should check out our website and reviews at
xxhttp://www.hosting-review.comIf you are looking to manage multiple domains – reseller plans such as Host Gator are good. Bluehost allows up to 6 domains…sounds like you are looking to manage multiple domains in one control panel. I would stick with the reseller hosting.

Hi Lady,
My casino site is XO Communications – spendie but I’ve had them for 6 years an will remain loyal
My poker and graphic design site is Dot Easy. I paid 79 dollars for a year each I think and won’t pay again until them. You have unlimited space and can use the file manager to code your own sites and that is the unlimited hosting plan. They have monthly plans for this at 9.95

Ty ty .. I’ve almost switched here or their 8 times this month lol.. but justtttttttt when I think I’m ready.. I read something I dont like!! lol.. Still searching for that perfect hosting option ..

Moving is a big step, so research carefully before you take the leap. There are tons of bad webhosts out there…
Perhaps you can list the things you feel is important to you and we can help finding some alternatives?
As for your problem with handling multiple sites i concur that you should be looking for a reseller account. Its usually cheaper in bulk and you get a control panel to manage all sites. Much easier
Hey guys
Someone asked me via PM after having a bad exp with Rochess if I still recommend him. Then suggested I update this thread so that no one is mislead.
I don’t recommend Rochess (i think it’s Rochess.net) in fact, I am quite sure i was paying more than I’d have paid for a dedicated server to host two sites on what looked like a hostgator spinoff. Either way it was seriously shared hosting.
I had no cpanel, and any help at any time cost me $25 per hour.
I also paid $20 per year to have a domain redirected – toldya I was new
.When I bought new domains he put them in his name, when i said i wanted them in my name, there was a definite dragging of the feet over it, he didn’t want to put them back in my name. I’m sure theres a thread around here somewhere about that.
If you’re new, or building quite a few sites, or want the ability to, without extra cost I was recommending hostgator.
There will likely come a time when you will however outgrow hostgator, and real recently here they actually banned google, their firewall does it appearntly, they also banned me, and they banned my partner. So they’re big on security, just not real great at knowing who the bad guy is
We dropped out of google news for a full week when they banned Google, it took that long to figure out what the problem was.
The problem popped up in forums all over the place at the time I had it, so I think lots of Hostgator folks had the issue, at least all the folks on my server at hostgator.
Just as an aside, my robots.txt and sitemap showed unreadable in webmaster tools, that was the biggest red flag .. then we dropped out of news, still we spent some time actually convincing Hostgator they’d banned google, and even then they defended themselves due to recent DDoS attacks.
Now we’re going with I believe Server Beach within a week or two
So I still don’t have a great recommendation, but these are my current updated thoughts
hey want to use my serverbeach aff code?
8PNZCP48HK – this will give you $100 off on your accountPlease
ahhh I definitely would, but I’m pretty sure the link Greg gave me was an affi link.
had to try, didnt read back to see you had one! Serverbeach is very nice though you need to know what your doing as all they do is give you a box on the wire.Lady: I too can vouch for Gator and their customer service is awesome.
I went with them because I needed mySQL . They walked me thru it and didn’t treat me like the newbie I was. Something to think about as I noticed you mentioned Go Daddy for your domains. As I was hosting elsewhere and only my domains were at GD, they only allow 1 email address/domain unless you pay what I consider a high fee. U might want to think about switching your domains over to Gator as they allow unlimited email addresses and they also offer a free mailing list. I believe it’s 9.95/domain.
I left them not because of their service, but decided to go with Site Build It for my 3rd site as they offer so many benefits. I have learned so much about how to build a site the right way even though I’ve been on the internet for 10 years.
Hope this helps…:santa2:Hi Guys we are in the process of looking for two or three new servers for our growing group of sites so if anyone can recomend two or three good reputable Hosting companies it would be much appreciated.
I have some good experience with http://www.iweb.ca .
Dec 16 my website (iseekblog) went offline along with craps-player.com .The hosting company rochess.net was not available for 24 hours and the websites were offline for 36 hours.When he put them back up he put up a database in iseekblog from sept 28 which resulted in over 3000 blog members losing their blog accounts.I have waited 9 days with no contact from this person and finally sunday he came back home after enjoying his xmas holiday.He made it seem like i should have thanked him for coming home and cutting his vacation 3 days short too.
Because this is a godaddy reseller ,no support ,he sleeps and the server can go down and nobody is around to help and after losing a database worth $6000.00 I had no choice but scramble to move all my websites.
As ladyholdem earlier posted he puts domains in his account knowing full well you can have your own acct to put the domains.In my case I bought zz0.org about 15 months ago and I didnt have any experience back then with the script it was using so i asked edward , the previous owner to deal with ron to get my domain and site transfered over.Ron put this domain in his godaddy account instead of in mine which he had access to.In a year he had about a dozen of my websites and i had to spend 6 months trying to get some of them back that were sold , he kept saying he forgot blah blah blah.Here is present situation ,he lost my database , he has two domains zz0.org and craps-player.com.He is trying to get me to pay 8 months for 30 ips ,claims he paid them yearly although i didnt sign any contracts and he bills me monthly.He also is claiming that i owe him some money for ‘tech help.Keep in mind i have paid him over $3000.00 and only got ‘upgraded’ to 10gb about 6 months ago.I have A vps with him , i cant even set up wordpress or add new domains or even make subdomains.My hosting plan is for 10gb although right now there are 23 sites using less than 1 gb.When he got me the new server about 6months ago it was because the old plan wasnt working , i didnt have a plesk panel just http://ftp.He gave me a plesk panel but it is useless.
I cant even write 1/20 of the nightmare this person has been.And i wouldnt even post it in public except he has many gambling clients and his wife owns some gambling sites too.So please if you deal with him as i know at least 1 other cap member does , get control of your domains and get the hell away from him.How any hosting company can go away for a week and not have any email access let alone a way to detect trouble is beyond me.
If your website is worth anything at all PLEASE do not deal with any company who has no 24/7 tech support.And who does not send out monthly invoices but conducts all business via MSN and expect people to send him money without explaination.My database is lost and i have to take that lesson which cost me $6000 and move on.I will update all of you in couple days when the directory is live again
