Looking for a good web host
I am going to start a service that will allow members to customize (on-line) their version of my free script. Now I am looking for a good web host where I can start at low cost and upgrade to a dedicated server.
The best host I found so far (via CNET) is http://www.cihost.com/
I have also visited http://www.nvision.com/vstation/webhostseek.html and would like to know if this is a good alternative to a dedicated server.
If there are any other alternatives to a (rather expensive) dedicated server I would allso like to know about it.
Thanks

I have checked the following web hosts for you and they all offer plans that should
suit a person like you just starting out. They offer virtual servers and 2 of them let
you upgrade to a dedicated server when you business can support it.
1. nvision that you asked me to check at http://www.nvision.com/vstation/webhost
this one only allows 80 virtual servers per machine which is good because
there is less chance of overload and their prices are competative.
2. Power Surge at: http://www.powersurge.net/
they offer virtural servers in many price ranges adjusted to the users' initial
requirements, and they will also let you move up to a dedicated server when
your business is prosperous enough to support a dedicated server's cost.
They offer FTP as well as e-mail accounts and forwarding.
3. Host Away at http://home.hostawy.com offer much the same as Power Surge
with the exception of T3 lines which means that you get more bandwidth
for your money. Have many price range plans to suit the individual.
If I were you I would check out these 3 very carefully, make a list of their pros
and cons and then pick the one that came closest to providing the total service
that was required immediately with an option to expand as quickly or as
slowly as the new business warranted.
