iMOUNTAIN Shared Web Hosting - 6 Month Review

Preface
When I had the arduous task of finding a new host, the some forums were an indispensable resource of information, guides, and reviews. As thank you for the great host, Iron Mountain, has pointed me to, I now offer my 6 months of experience with Iron Mountain to this community.

I also would like to state for the record that I have been a paying customer of Iron Mountain for the past 6 months, am not affiliated with them in any way (other than the fact I am a customer), and have not been solicited or compensated in any form to write this review.

I hope this will be of use to people who are in a similar predicament to where I was 6+ months ago.

Which company was the first to start on this overselling concept?

I am just curious to know which company started it. Lets leave the unlimited thing, i have seen this for some yrs.
But some yrs ago the companies which are overselling right now were not in this process. Any guess.


Help needed to find a new host (website & Vbulletin). Specs included. Help appreciated!

Our current host’s MySQL is rather poor, and this is making our VBulletin run slowly far too often, so we need to move.

Our site stats (for the entire website) for Feb:-
- Total Hits 3,072,554
- Total Files 2,343,497
- Total Pages 1,246,668
- Total Visits 50,593
- Total KBytes 13,623,373

DynamicHosting.biz Review - Great unless you complain!

My Website: usec*****.com
What is it? Gaming Community (Clan)
Hoster: DynamicHosting.biz

When I complained about service the first time they blamed my scripts. They were right. I was not closing off my database scripts and it is quite conceivable that in the hosting environment they were not being disposed of correctly. So I went through and audited our whole website and changed all the scripts. Then I began to get responses from our users that the website was crashing daily, I received advice from DynamicHosting that a “bad domain was causing the problems and should be fixed now”. Then I received an apology from them stating:

“I’m really sorry about this, it’s not the service that you should expect and I apologize for that. We can migrate your site to a new server in a new data center that is much more reliable then the server / data center you are in now. Thank you very much for all your patience.”

DownTownHost Web Hosting Service - Short Review

Just thought that I’d post a review of DownTownHost since I have been with them for more than a month now (almost two months actually). One of my sites hosted by DownTownHost: http://www.tw3o.com/

Well, first of all, I have to say that the support is AMAZING. I had to transfer my sites from another host and the guys over at DTH did everything for me in an instant. Once in a while I had problems with my sites, and they solved the problems quickly because they are always available through live support. Well, actually, more than just the live support on their site. I even have Jorge as a contact on my MSN!
