Any advice on a hosting service that knows what they are doing?
« on: December 03, 2017, 10:41:31 am »
I am looking for a new host. I currently pay £500 for a reseller account with heart internet in the UK but recently have had multiple failures of emails and they can't even tell me the correct new settings after moving my stuff around from broken servers. I have looked at 1&1, on the surface they look good but the internet is plastered with bad reviews about them.

So basically i need to host 10 websites that have little traffic to them and preferably I'd like the new host to be able to transfer my current accounts over so that emails etc all stay in place. Any suggestions?

I have been using dogado for 9 years now

But I just looked and can not find a button for english language.
They do have a reseller program and I have been very happy with them so far

Simon, perhaps take a look at:

https://www.homepageuniverse.com/resellers/

They used to be called Servers And Domains.

We have been using them for 6 years now. They are however based in the USA, so I'm not sure if that suits you.

Emailed technical support comes in overnight to us in Australia which works well, but you can wait up & take advantage of their in-hours on-line chat service.

Pricing is excellent.

10 webs with low traffic and mails ? why not to rent a virtual server, install ISPconfig there and host it there ? i'm hosting my stuff this way for 10+ years, first i did all the config manually but the last 2 years i'm using ISPconfig - it's very convenient and easy to create sites, mailboxes...etc...
regarding migration - just copy your webs, dump/import the databases and sync the mails to the new mailboxes on the new server (try imapsync for th emails).

I've dealt with these people thin the past for domains only, now they do hosting: https://www.lcn.com/cloud-servers#
