Hi there:

You can try http://www.vivosites.com. I resell hosting that I trust for all my projects: reliable and feature-packed VPS technology. Mambo installs without a glitch and you can expect my personal attention to your questions.

Being in the hosting business myself I would recommend doing a bit of research. You will find that almost every single host on the market can host mambo. That is because all you need for mambo is PHP and MySQL.

I would recommend finding a host that is providing from the United States. I would then look for prospective hosts that you like and then try and contact them via a support ticket. If they don't reply within 24 hours I would move on.

Also you can check out; www.webhostingtalk.com

Don't purchase hosting through their solicitation section. I would recommend looking at their reviews section. As stated above lunarpages.com is an excellent choice for uptime and security.

I can also highly recommend http://hostrocket.com/

If you want a personal attention for your hosting solutions I would recommend someone from these forums. They will most likely be the most helpful when it comes to your hosting needs and mambo. Other hosting companies will not give you that personal touch.

Before you decide on any one host, take the time to do a search at webhostingtalk.com for the host you're looking at, and you'll get a good idea of how they stack up.

I've had many hosts over the years and will agree, the cheaper solution, however inticing it may be, may not be the best. I bit the bullet several months ago, got a VPS at dinix.com and have been very happy since.

Good luck in your search.

P.S. D'oh, take the time to read a thread and you get beat on your answer!

I currently use hostdime. I think their pricing is great. They've had a little slowness/downtime lately, but it could probably be attributed to hurricane weather since they are located in FL. They are decent.

Hostdime is really the only hosting I've ever used, so I really don't have anything to compare them to, but here's my take. When I first signed up, my server was down for a few days, but it's never been out that long since (1+ yrs). The box I'm on also seems to get blacklisted occasionally which is probably due to it being a shared resource and someone on the box who was actually using it to spam. (I don't know this for sure.) Whenever I bring blacklisting to their attention, they usually say they've submitted a request to get removed and are just waiting. Support gets through the basics. Nothing special there, but it's acceptable.

I would like to hear more about bluehost.com if anyone else has had experience with them. The service/pricing does seem too good to be true. I, however, see no problem with overselling if it works. Some people really only use a couple MB on a 1GB account or when they have a lot more space avail., go figure.

Anyone else have feedback on www.bluehost.com?

I've been through about 15 different hosts during the now 4 years i've had some of my sites up and I can tell you that it's VERY hard to find a good host, but i'd like to share some of what I look for:

1) MONTHLY billing option, but discounts for paying yearly. It's always ALWAYS a good idea to "try" it out for a month before going in on a whole year.. but I like to be rewarded for pre-paying a whole year when I do. Those 30 Day money back deals are a hassle when by paying monthly you can just cancel and only be out a relatively small amount....

2) Support. Users helping users is a BIG part of mambo, and let me tell you, it's VERY nice to to find a webhost that has a forum for it's users. For one thing, it's a good place to see if people are complaining a lot, and what they are complaining about. I used to use rcthost.com and originally their forums were full of "how do I setup..." etc.. now it's full of "downtime.. downtime.. slow servers" Guess what, I dropped them 3/4 into the year after paying for a full year (why monthly billing is great now). Of course some type of "live support" is nice, but fast e-mail support is just as good. (under 3-4 hours for critical)

3) Honesty. Good luck with that one. Saying your servers are on a certain type of box doesn't really make it so.

4) Re-seller accounts available. I've recently gotten into just purchasing re-seller accounts because of the flexability it offers. I don't actually "resell" publicly, but do offer free hosting to members of the gaming group I belong too, and very inexpensive hosting to their familys for small sites ($15 a year for example).. and sometimes just for charity.

5) Support.. I know.. I like this one so much it's on here twice. Though I rarely use support, it's nice to know it's their. I will say that my current host does NOT offer anything beyond support tickets, I've had reason to use it soooo rarely (2 times in the last 4 months, only one was for a disconnected MySQL service) that i'm ok with that.

6) Does the hosting service host their own site on the same servers your going to be on?? First, don't count on them having a fast site, so yours will be fast.. A lot of hosts don't host their accounts on the same server as you'll be on. Second... thats not really a bad thing. It's nice to know that when your site is down due to a server problem that you'll still be able to submit that support ticket.

ok I thinks thats about enough out of me

I will relieve a secret I've been close to the adult online biz since 1998, although I'm moving away from it now. I'm telling it, because broadly speaking, that has been the only profitable and mission critical biz on the internet so far.

The adult biz industry standard in hosting has always been xcite.net. They don't have a fancy site (I think it's designed in 1975), they offer no fancy control panels, no free nothing, and even the support sucks (ok it's great, but they won't teach you how to rename index.html..), but they are truly 24/7/365 online, and their network is globally FAST and ALWAYS FAST. No magic stuff, they simply know their biz, their DNS's are correctly configured, their network is efficient and they are REAL pro's, no script kiddies.

I get zip zero for this poorly written ad, but they have always been good to me, even during those financially crappy times, so let me put a good word out. If you can manage your part, they can and will manage their side - always: Xcite.net

Okay.. I am in need of a new reseller.. something reliable. My current host is down 3 nights a week for unknown reasons although it seems to be dns related. I need something on the reseller level (cpanel/whm preferred) that will be reliable. Cost is not so much an issue but of course, I would like to get the best offer.
I am currently looking at the following... can anyone offer more feedback on the choices I have narrowed down to...?
1. http://www.buyhttp.com
2. http://www.hostdime.com/reseller.shtml
3. http://www.mesopia.com with Site Studio (I think I am leaning toward this one...)

I am really looking for the following features:
-whm/cpanel
-unlimited domains
-reseller account

The utmost importance is uptime... my current host claims 97+% but I have found their numbers are somewhat skewed...
Any comments are quite welcome. I have been through 3 hosts in a year and unfortunately, have found that finding a reseller host is quite difficult. I have paid a lot and paid a little and so far I am 0 for 3...
I am leaning towards #3. I have reviewed mamble and a few other places including all of the ones in this post... again.. any comments are highly appreciated. I have about 2 more weeks before I have to decide.. any help with that decision would be great!

I use buyhttp.com, and I find them very reliable (no downtime so far in the few months I've had them). They have all the features you indicated. Also, buyhttp.com is run by an active member of the Mambo community, which makes them very reachable if you need something from them.
