Hosting Service Providers
Overview
Choosing the right hosting is one of the most important and essential task while creating a new site. Slow servers, poor support, hidden incompatibilities are just a few issues that you may have experienced. Inadequate hosting can even affect your very own experience with php listing scripts.
We have worked with hundreds of hosting service providers worldwide. As per customer requests, we selected several hosting providers that we feel meet the server requirements set forth by our scripts. We try our best to keep this list accurate and to update information on a regular basis.
Nevertheless, we still recommend that you send your hosting provider of choice a list of our server requirements to receive their written compliance confirmation just to be on the safe side.
Things to look for when ordering a hosting account
Generally, you should be shopping for a VPS server or a dedicated server. The former is perfect for websites that will have a reasonable amount of visitors and listings (yours is the one, right?). Dedicated servers are good for large projects with tons of listings and visitors. Small websites for target audiences (industrial websites, etc) will usually be ok on a shared account.
You will need to pay attention to the level of support offered by the company. Particularly, check for 24/7 support, or if you are a phone person, make sure their phone support is always on. Tools like live chats are also very useful, especially when your tickets are not responded to quickly enough. Most offers are comparable with the likes of competitors as far as hardware, bandwidth and disk space are concerned. Therefore, one other key criterion will be compliance with our server requirements. You will need to send their sales or support departments the list of our requirements and obtain their confirmation that these requirements are fully supported. If you like everything, simply buy the one you like the most.
