<br />
<br />
Resource Protection<br />
<br />
Bluehost has been doing shared hosting for almost 15 years. We know the problems that come with hosting. It only takes a single user with a rogue application to cause website problems and sluggishness for every other customer. Until now the only solution has been to shut down the offending application and then move the customer to a VPS or dedicated server which can be very expensive and hard to maintain. We have developed our own proprietary solution to resolve these issues and have decided to give it to all our customers at no charge. Below are the highlights of what we offer.<br />
<br />
    * Provides protection from other abusive users that would intentionally or unintentionally consume too much cpu, memory, or disk I/O operations.<br />
    * Gives you many of the features that were previously only available through a VPS (virtual private server) or dedicated server at the price of shared hosting - saving you a lot of money in the process!<br />
    * Gives you a consistent experience for your website without all the ups and downs normally associated with every other shared hosting provider out there.<br />
    * Nothing to do on your side. It is 100% automated and seamless.<br />
    * 100% free to all our customers.<br />
<br />
Our resource protection saves customers from having to deal with almost all slowdowns caused by other abusive processes. No other shared hosting company can say that. Come join the millions of other sites hosted on our network and see the benefits today!<br/><br/><b >Promotion: </b>Special discount, pay only <b>$3.95/mo</b> instead of $6.95/mo using our link.]]></description>

<br />
The features and quality of our service.<br />
This is just one area that we feel we are better than the competition. We would like for you to be confident in your choice of GreenGeeks as your web hosting company and we invite you to read through the other areas why we feel you should choose GreenGeeks. <br />
<br />
Uptime & Servers<br />
We know that it does not do much good to have a web site that is not online. When your web site is down so are your emails and your online business is unavailable to your customers. This is the #1 area of customer frustration in web hosting and it is the #1 area that our quality assurance team focuses their attention to prevent server failures.<br />
<br />
Here are the ways we manage our servers and maintain our 99.9% uptime.<br />
<br />
Quality Hardware And Data Center<br />
It is essential that in today's web hosting environment that a web hosting company purchases high quality servers. Server requirements vary radically in a number of areas including disk space, processor speed and connectivity capabilities. Some companies purchase servers with low requirements in some or all of the essential areas, GreenGeeks does not. We purchase robust energy efficient servers with Intel Dual Quad Core Xeon processors, 8GB ram, Large Raid 10 storage arrays for maximum performance & redundancy along with 100 Mbps connectivity to our switches.<br />
        <br />
In addition our servers are housed in a world class co-location data facility with raised floors, dual city power grid feeds with backup power generators. The facility boasts an FM 200 fire suppression system with early pre-fire detection mechanisms. The facility is staffed by administrators and security personnel 24x7x365, including biometric and key card security systems with a rack level locking mechanism.<br />
<br />
The Amount Of Clients On A Server<br />
Too many clients can overload a server in the disk space, bandwidth and processor usage. Unlike some of our competitors GreenGeeks does not try to squeeze as many clients as possible onto a server. We gladly sacrifice some of the profit we could make by adding more customers onto a server by not adding those "extra" and thereby lowering the server workload to ensure that it is running at optimal levels.<br />
<br />
Nightly Backups<br />
In the event that a server has a catastrophic failure, GreenGeeks has a complete backup all of our clients' web site data. In the event that we determine that a server has an unrecoverable system failure, we can quickly provision those clients onto a new standby server at a moments notice.<br />
<br />
Pro-active & Reactive Server Monitoring<br />
On top of our reactive 10 second server/service monitoring, we're proactively monitoring the servers health in real-time. This serves as our early warning system which allows our system administrators to quickly identify problems and temporarily kill any processes that could potentially cause extended periods of downtime. If an abusive client or script is identified as causing repeated load spikes on the server that is affecting service, the clients account is suspended until we are able to work directly with the client to resolve the issue. Clients who are identified as abusers are removed.<br />
<br />
Server monitoring is an essential part of what we do to proactively ensure that any potential problems on any of our servers are addressed quickly before issues arise. We have a 10 second monitoring system on every one of our servers and the services that run on them, such as HTTPD, MySQL, EXIM (Mail) and other critical services. This allows our system administrators to be notified of a failure within 10 seconds, which results in a quick resolution time to any service interruptions that may occur.<br />
<br />
Our uptime guarantee and how we maintain our servers<br />
Server uptime is of great importance to our company. We understand that this is essential for our clients and we take uptime very seriously. Our robust hardware and world class data facility as well as the lower amount of clients we have on a server and our pro-active/reactive service monitoring permits us to run at absolute efficiency and maintain our great service record. In the event that a hardware failure is beyond recoverable we have backups of our clients' data and we are able to get their web sites back up quickly and efficiently.<br/><br/><b >Promotion: </b>Coupon code <b>wht25</b>, you get $25 discount!]]></description>

            <title>#5 IX Web Hosting / ixwebhosting.com</title>
            <link>http://www.web-hosting-top.com/companies/ixwebhosting.com</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.web-hosting-top.com/review/ixwebhosting.com">IXWebHosting review</a><br/>When you're researching a hosting company, Datacenter is an important thing to look for. Companies that outsource their hosting customers to other companies are not working for you; they're working for the dollar signs you represent. They aren't close enough to the servers where your information is held to care - to tear-up and light a candle when a server dies - or to fight to prevent issues that will ultimately affect you.<br />
<br />
Our call center is right here, in the US!<br />
<br />
Out Call Center in KY Hopkinsville, Kentucky; to be exact. We know that normally, just being located in the US wouldn't be something to brag about, but with all of the complaints concerning support employees having too-low a command of English to help you, let alone greet you properly, we thought we should mention it.<br />
<br />
Our future<br />
<br />
The best thing about being in the internet-business (besides being able to say that we're "in the internet business") is that we are part of a revolutionary development in communication and information. While other hosting companies may think their involvement with the internet stops at collecting your money and squeezing your site into an already over-stuffed server, we have a pretty different idea. For one, we are working on some serious improvements to our already state-of-the-art data center. We're working on being as energy-efficient as possible, while still maintaining reliability. We're striving towards making our customer service department even friendlier and more efficient.<br />
<br />
Awards<br />
<br />
Out Call Center in KY Normally, we are a pretty modest bunch here at IX. However, when it comes to the excellent awards we win year in and year out, we figured we'd show off just a little bit. Over the years we've earned top honors from some of the most prestigious review sites around. We've captured gold in Budget Hosting, Blog Hosting, and even Top Overall Host, just to name a few.<br />
<br />
Why You Should Choose IX<br />
<br />
Experience<br />
<br />
In 1999 we began supporting our first hosting customers on a server in someone's living room, and since then we have grown into a company with over 110,000 clients hosting over 470,000 sites with us. What does this mean for you? Not only do we know what we're doing, but you're not going to have to worry about changing hosting companies because we're not going anywhere.<br />
<br />
Personal Customer Support<br />
<br />
At IX we decided that we wanted to provide the best and most exceptional customer support in the industry. That is why we developed a company wide philosophy to provide a unique and personalized customer support experience. This is how our Personal Support Rep program was born.<br />
<br />
When you sign up with us, we assign you your own support agent that you can contact directly with any questions or issues you might have. (click here to learn more about the program).<br />
<br />
Zero Risk Guaranteed<br />
<br />
Every webhost offers a 30-day money back guarantee and many also offer an anytime money back guarantee, but who offers completely free hosting? We do. For a full week, you can kick the tires, take her out for a spin, and see how she handles in the straights - for no charge. Seriously. We won't charge your card until after the 7 day trial period, and if you cancel before it's up - you will never be billed. No fighting for refunds, no fine print.<br />
The IX Web Hosting Community<br />
<br />
With our database of over 110,000 customers, joining IX Web Hosting means that you become the newest member of an experienced and interactive community. With the help of social media such as twitter, blogs, facebook, a technical status blog and online Success Tools that include step by step video tutorials.<br />
<br />
The Only Thing That Matters<br />
<br />
When choosing a hosting company you want to make sure that you get the maximum amount of uptime possible, this will impact how often your website is available for use.<br />
<br />
Since Uptime represents the amount of time your site is available for business, viewing, updating, etc., choosing a webhosting provider that cannot guarantee their 99.9% uptime promise is an easy way to have your website fail.<br />
<br />
Many providers don't have their own data centers, and have little or no control over their environment, their networking, or their equipment. Not only do we control our own state of the art data center in the US, but our entire company is housed right alongside systems administrators, customer relations, marketing and all.<br />
<br />
What We Do To Prevent Downtime<br />
<br />
At IX Web hosting we have our own tier 3 (n+1) redundant data center... that means we have everything that's required to maintain the maximum uptime possible + 1 extra back up for all your data, so if one of the servers power source gets heated it will automatically transfer the power to the extra power source and this way your site is able to have maximum uptime.<br />
<br />
And in case of any extended commercial emergency power outages, we have two industrial diesel generators standing by, which can run for 24 hours.<br />
<br />
The Easiest Way To Disappear From The Search Engines that you don't know about<br />
<br />
Having a shared IP between a dedicated IP, is like the difference between living in an apartment or living in a single family house. although its true you can live in both, with an apartment you have to share the building with many people, and if there is ever a problem (plumbing, electricity etc ) you might get effected, If you have your own house its a more comfortable experience, you have full control of everything that happens plus a lot more space.<br />
<br />
Up to 15 FREE IP Addresses<br />
<br />
As mentioned above having a shared IP is one of the reasons why many people have gotten banned from the search engines. We know how important your website is to you and getting punished for what someone else does is not what anyone wants, or having to pay up to $30 for a dedicated IP. That's why with IX web hosting when you sign up for a shared hosting account you'll get up to 15 Free dedicated IP addresses.<br />
<br />
4 Reasons why you need a dedicated IP<br />
<br />
    * Ecommerce Ready -  They Are Ecommerce Ready - If you want to sell products online, the only way to set up your store is to have a dedicated IP.<br />
    * Search Engine Visibility -  Many people will argue that search engine optimization is the most effective way to get your site ranked, and when you have a dedicated IP you give yourself the best chance to get the highest rankings. (Not only do you eliminate the risk of having a site you share your IP with causing your domain to be blacklisted or removed from rankings, but also your mailings as well.)<br />
    * Professional Website -  If you can get an affordable hosting solution with a dedicated IP you should go for it. Of course, the IP is not the most important factor to consider, but usually when a host offers such a feature in a hosting package you can safely assume that the other important features needed to run a professional website are in place.<br />
    * They're Free -  With IX Web Hosting you get up to 15 dedicated IPs FREE depending on your hosting package. Other web hosts can charge up to $30 for each dedicated IP.<br />

            <title>#8 Go Daddy / godaddy.com</title>
            <link>http://www.web-hosting-top.com/companies/godaddy.com</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.web-hosting-top.com/review/godaddy.com">GoDaddy review</a><br/>GoDaddy.com is the world's largest domain name registrar and is the flagship company of The Go Daddy Group, Inc.<br />
<br />
The Go Daddy Group of companies also includes Wild West Domains, Inc., a reseller of domains and domain-related products and services; Domains By Proxy, a private registration service; Starfield Technologies, a research and development affiliate; and Blue Razor Domains, a membership-based discount registrar.<br />
<br />
As an ICANN-accredited domain registrar, Go Daddy has more names under management than any other registrar, offers products at prices up to 70% less than the competition and supports them all with world-class 24/7 live customer service.<br />
<br />
We develop our technology in-house, and do not outsource our support operations. This enables us to provide better support and ensure the most advanced and competitively-priced products and services available today.<br />
<br />
Founded by Bob Parsons in 1997, The Go Daddy Group has grown to include more than 47 million domains under management. We offer a complete product line, including comprehensive hosting solutions, Web site creation tools, Secure SSL certificates, personalized email with spam and anti-phishing filtering, e-commerce tools and more.<br />
<br />
Go Daddy is widely recognized for its success, having been ranked #8 on the 2004 Inc. 500 list of the nation's fastest-growing privately held companies; #20 on the 2005 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (growing 8,274 percent!); and having won the CNET Editor's Choice award in 2001, the Name Intelligence Largest Net Gain Award in 2002, 2003 and 2005; the Name Intelligence Users' Choice Award in 2005 as well as the #1 Best Overall Registrar in 2003. Go Daddy also won the Arizona Corporate Excellence Award for fastest growing privately-held company in 2003 and Most Innovative Large Company in 2004.<br />
<br />
Go Daddy has become the world's #1 choice for domains by providing innovative, competitively-priced products, delivering the highest quality customer service, and by always appreciating and listening to its customers! <br />
<br />
GoDaddy.com delivers superior value. Here's how:<br />
<br />
Guaranteed renewal price.<br />
You'll never pay more to renew your domain name than the rate you paid when you initially registered it, or what our registration rate was when you transferred. (The only exceptions would be if the price the registry charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a limited-time, special price. If the registry increases our cost, yours will go up only by the amount ours did, never more.)<br />
<br />
More FREE, value-added services with every domain.<br />
At Go Daddy, they are proud to have you as a customer and want you to get the most out of your domain ownership. So they give you all of the following FREE with every domain purchase: Quick Blog, Hosting with Web site builder; Complete Email ($9.95/yr value!); change of registrant; parked or "For Sale" page; domain locking; status alerts; domain forwarding; domain masking; total DNS control; and 100 email forwards.<br />
<br />
Risk-free, money-back guarantee transfers.<br />
No matter how hard they try, a domain transfer occasionally fails. This is usually due to your former registrar trying to keep your money, even though it is legally required to comply with your transfer request. With Go Daddy, you're protected. First, the Rapid Transfer System saves time and eliminates errors by extracting critical information automatically. You no longer need to find it and type it in yourself. Second, their Transfer Concierge team is trained, dedicated, and available to you 24/7 with personal, caring assistance. And finally, they believe that you paid your money and that you have every right to expect that transfer to occur, no matter who is at fault. So we've made your transfers absolutely risk free and fully refundable. If your transfer to GoDaddy.com fails for any reason, they will let you know and refund your money. Guaranteed.<br />
<br />
Consistently lower prices on everything we offer.<br />
It starts with low-cost domains. But it extends to everything else they develop (right there, in-house) and offer. Like hosting accounts, spam-protected email accounts; domain services, utility software and more. And they are constantly developing more, better, lower-cost ways to improve your domain ownership, Internet- and PC-experience.<br />
<br />
Fast, easy bulk domain transfers and registrations<br />
Their super-low prices, intuitive tools, Rapid Transfer System(TM) and concierge support make it a snap.<br />
<br />
Best-in-industry live customer support, 24 / 7.<br />
This is a point of pride for them. You deserve the best, and they won't settle for providing anything less. They are available to you either by phone, web board, or email 24 hours a day, everyday. Many of their competitors don't even provide a telephone number for you to call!<br />
<br />
Just-right, affordable hosting options.<br />
They host all of their customer sites on their own secure servers. Most of their competitors job their hosting out to the lowest bidder. If you ever have an issue with your Go Daddy hosting, just call them and they will be on it immediately. With the competition, there's no telling who you should call.<br />
<br />
Fierce protection of your personal information.<br />
They do their best to prevent your data from being "mined." And unlike some of their competitors who will happily sell your information to anyone for a price, they will never under any circumstance make it available to third parties, unless legally required to do so. (Please do understand, though, that information in the Whois database is public domain. They do everything possible to prevent screen access to it, but under certain circumstances it can be obtained.)<br />
<br />
Superior domain search and management tools.<br />
Their domain search and portfolio management tools are second to none. Once you've registered your domain names, just log in at "Manage My Domains" and select domains to modify, either individually or in bulk. Apply your changes or add additional services Ac it's fast and easy.<br />
<br />
Unique, valuable and innovative software and services.<br />
At Go Daddy, you can get everything you need to make the most out of your domain ownership and Internet experience. They offer private "unlisted" registrations; Traffic Blazer (search engine registration) c-Site (copyright application); Internet- and PC-privacy and security software; merchant accounts; and more.<br />
<br />
You are probably wondering how we can charge as much as 70% less than our competition and still be in business, right?<br />
<br />
First of all, we run a tight ship. We choose our promotions carefully and ensure every advertising dollar pays for itself; we streamline our systems and billing processes; we don't have any frills (like the $5,000.00 office chairs of some of the now bankrupt dot-coms). We also don't waste money on unnecessary things like toll-free telephone numbers that are often abused anyway.<br />
<br />
Second, we're straight shooters. There are no tricks in what we do, just good, old-fashioned, reliable business principles. Quite often we're asked if we bait our customers with low rates and then charge high renewal prices. Anybody that expects us to do that will be disappointed. We believe in the old saying, "You can shear a sheep many times but you can only skin it once." So, your renewal rates will be no higher than the rate you paid when you initially registered your domain name, or what our registration rates were when you transferred your domain name to us (the only exceptions would be if the price the registry charges us increased, or if you took advantage of a limited-time, special price. If the registry increases our cost, yours will go up by no more than the same percentage ours did).<br />
<br />
What's the end result of all this? Well, we're happy to tell you that we're a small but profitable company that expects to be in business for many years to come. All this, of course, is due to value-conscious customers like you.<br/><br/><b >Promotion: </b>GoDaddy gave to web-hosting-top.com community INCREDIBLE discounts which are unique across the Internet! <br/>

From past to present<br />
A pioneering beginning<br />
In 1988, a small German company called 1&1 took over marketing activities for BTX, the troubled online service run by T-Com (a sister company of T-Mobile). The fledgling corporation 1&1 decided to try something innovative - a future trademark of the company and launched the first major advertising campaign for an online service. The ads took the complex new technology and made it appealing and easy to understand. Interest soared and because of 1&1, BTX became the market leader under its new name: T-Online. <br />
<br />
Developing an industry<br />
1&1 had established itself as a groundbreaking marketing company, but it also provided content for T-Online as well as working in the development of new technologies and services. Alongside others, 1&1 defined the new KIT standard ("core software for intelligent terminals"). KIT introduced a user interface that appealed to a very broad user base. Then 1&1 developed the first telecom decoder - or browser as it was called later - for T-Online.<br />
<br />
With the growth of the PC, there was also an increased need for user support. Therefore, in 1992 1&1 launched its new Customer Care Division, with IBM coming in as the first key account. Then, in a step which solidified its position as a technology marketing authority, 1&1 used its knowledge to establish an Internet-based media network in order to tap the new marketing opportunities of the web.<br />
An initial public offering<br />
<br />
March 23, 1998 witnessed a milestone. 1&1's parent company, United Internet, became one of the first web companies to go public. IPO proceeds of around $60 million were used to finance further growth and develop 1&1 into a group of Internet companies. By buying into the highly respected internet provider Schlund+Partner in 1998, 1&1 brought their unique marketing talent and abundant technological experience together with one of Europe's most powerful and secure data centers.<br />
Providing our own services<br />
<br />
1&1 expanded its range of products by introducing Puretec, Europe's first affordable and reliable web hosting product for customers on a budget. With satisfied users and cutting-edge technology, 1&1 grew rapidly, acquiring the e-mail service GMX, which soon became a leading provider of e-mail and messaging services with more than 15 million accounts. Next came successful domain name registration and the development of a top-of-the-line and extremely secure Data Center. 1&1 eShops : our e-commerce suites - were introduced during 2000, and 1&1's comprehensive range of dedicated server packages debuted in 2001.<br />
