Phil wrote a short novel about his experience with Servage.net’s shared hosting environment. He really liked the price and redundancy offered with servage.net, but didn’t enjoy the service or the lack of some basics features like FrontPage extension support and SSH.
Sounds like if you have a very specific set of requirements (high uptime and little support) servage.net might be the right fit for you.
Summary
Pros: Lots of features for a reasonable price, including unusual ones like clustered (redundant) servers and storage for offsite backups. No silly limits. Simple and effective anti-spam system and webmail.
Cons: Poor support, sloppy maintenance, no secure shell, no backups, no FrontPage server extensions, no log files, difficult migration.

db09 offered up a preview review after being with vt6’s shoutcast hosting for a little over a month. db09 is starting an internet radio shoutcast server for 10 users and so far so good.
just wanted to give a quick thumbs up to VT6’s shoutcast services!
james has been very helpful in getting everything setup and running, i’ve noticed no downtime at all and best of all and the pricing is fantastic.

Nitratec02 said that he experienced a couple of outages form his web host Levi1 in one week’s time. He then tried to cancel his account, but couldn’t get his money back.
I came across Levi1 thinking they wouldn’t oversell and the uptime and reliability looked good to.
Until the server went down twice in one week!
Personally I think they oversell - even though they dont sell unlimited packages.
Another thing their support isn’t very good. It says 24/7 support even though there is only 1 guy running it and he never answers (well he does probably once in a blue moon).

40sixty has been pushing the limits of his web host, Host Rocket, by serving over 1,000,000 page views a month and using more than 150 GB of bandwidth. A lot of people sign up for these huge hosting accounts, but few actually use up all those resources.
40sixty is a prime example of why you want to have properly coded web pages on your server that use minimal resources. If he had a more complex site that had a lot of MySQL queries or took up a fair chunk of processing power then he would have been suspended a long time ago for using up too many resources on a shared environment.
So, I been using host rocket for about 1 1/2 years (my partner setup the account like 5 years ago lol).
Anyways, back to review.
Uptime? Solid 99.8% according to host tracker (couldn’t check this month as I moved one of my main domains from them)
Bandwidth/Space? I use about 4 gigs and 200 gigabytes of bandwidth a month.
They offer 25 gigs and unmetered bandwidth.

The Village Idiot was shouting at the top of his lungs, praise for Liquid Web’s shared hosting service. Mr. Idiot was coming from a “bargain” host and definitely believes he has upgraded to a premium provider with Liquid Web. He especially enjoyed how the tech support were knowledgeable Americans that could answer he questions quickly and clearly.
In summary:
price: 4/5
support: 5/5
features: 5/5
speed: 5/5 (I have a low-bandwidth site)

Badmovies posted his exiting remarks regarding to HostGator’s semi-dedicated servers. Apparently he’s been hosting with their Personal/Reseller plans for a quite some time and this was a recent upgrade. However, due to some site access issues, Badmovies decided to move on.
I used Hostgator for a few years (believe it was a little less than three) and just moved hosts recently. For the first part of my time with them I was on a dedicated server. It ran very well, I kept it updated, and the few times I needed support they were quick and often solved the problem within 15-30 minutes. Since December of 2005 I was on their semi-dedicated plan. Again, the server usually responded well and support was always good. Around October of 2006 I started noticing performance issues, with the CPU going up to 3 or 4.

Sounds like common problems that I’ve heard from a lot of people sharing a dedicated server. Your site may be crystal clear, but the other people being hosted might not be as pure

Siropel has been with HostGator twice. Once in the past, then left when he needed more resources and purchased a dedicated server elsewhere. However, starting a new site Siropel decided to try out HostGator again and has had pleasant results thus far.
Speed: excellent at all times, example: 19 queries. 0.123 seconds
Uptime: excellent, I don’t think I had more than 8 minutes of downtime totaled for this month and the other. The server wasn’t down, the only service that was offline then was Apache (down for upgrade as I understand).
Server load: mostly under 0.75 but it’s a dual xeon.
Support: Always online via livechat, your problems always get answered and resolved in a timely manner (less than 1 hour). In the past, the server where I was got in a spam blacklist and I emailed HG support, in less than 24 hours the server was removed from the blacklist. This can happen to anyone. I had no other issues.
Domain? Oradeanul.com (somehow popular Romanian blog)
Would I recommend them? Yes, they are in my toplist.

Dave-dave posted a quick review of Go Daddy, mostly talking about how great the cancellation process was (Maybe they should try to work on making some of the other parts of their business just as great…) However, Dave-dave went through the phone support, instead of trying to cancel over the internet, so if you want to cancel quickly with Go Daddy, consider calling their hotline and getting it over with quick.
Cancellation: Cancellation was handled very professionally. They refunded my Domain name (under 5 days old), my privacy on the domain name (6.99, I think that was a rip off for Godaddy to add their name to the whois database), and 3 months of hosting. The total was $25.97 and every penny was refunded in less than 15 minutes (6 minutes of hold time, 2 minutes navigating the automated system). I received a confirmation of my refund shortly after I hung up the phone. And they did not argue with me leaving or try to keep me.

Dave-dave has had multiple hosts over the years and is quiet the bargain shopper. When he signed up for Dreamhost, he used a $97 off coupon and got a full year hosting contract, paid in full, for only $22. He was overall impressed with the service provided and feels like he’s found a home for his website. Hopefully he’ll keep his account with Dreamhost and not cancel, then resignup to get the $97 coupon bonus again like some individuals I know…
Price: Excellent! I used a $97 coupon for a year and got a year of hosting for $22, what a steal!
Service: Speeds were excellent! I got 1.72 mbps download average on a 2GB file. Downtime was OKAY. I averaged 99.78% uptime with it being monitored every 1 minute by host-tracker.com. I used 30GB of the storage offered to me without a problem (photo storage and hard drive backup… hehehe) and 200GB of bandwidth without a problem.
Support: Support was very good. Signing up I got near instant replies for sales questions in the earlier evening. I literally received replies minutes after I sent them. Tech Support got back to me within 30 minutes if I marked the priority at the medium equivalent (they go by really weird priority levels such as “PEOPLE ARE DYING!”). Normal Low priority tickets were answered within 3 hours on average. I’d say that support was pretty good for a host with ONLY email support..

mikey1090 has been with Downtown Host for a little over 6 months and just posted his final review, as his site has grown beyond the shared-hosting level and now requires the greater resources that a dedicated server can provide.
Mikey didn’t provide any specific performance stats like uptime, but said before his site was extremely popular his site was fast and responsive (and when his site become a little too popular, eating up 25% of all the server’s resources, it was no so speedy anymore!)
he Servers
The servers are great. Fast, reliable, and the uptime was great. Any downtime was usually caused my my online game causing too much server load, so if it wansnt for me uptime would have been superb.
The hosting plan
I was on the bronze shared hosting plan. Price was great, no $3 for 1 trillion GB bandwidth or anything silly. I had 100GB transfer limit and rarely breached 20GB. I got everything i looked for in termsm of hosting plans - cpanel, mysql, php and even SSH access which many hosts dont give.
