    I am currently with ipage and I find the service to be extremely slow. Any experience with ipage?

    All I really have up is a test template and it is bad slow. I am using joomla if that makes a difference.

    what do you mean by "slow"? Have you timed it and compared it? what else have you done to see if that's the best they can do for you?

    what, I'd like to help you. :eek:

    I will recommend 1and1 web hosting, what.

    I use 1and1 because they are cheap. I've heard hostgator is pretty good. Avoid godaddy.com

    Godaddy is fine, y'all just think you're too cool for it.

    You should try out amazon ec2. You can it for free for a year and you can install whatever software you want like node.js, tomcat or whatever you want.

    i currently manage ~10 websites through bluehoest. great prices and service. ive also used 1&1 which i liked a lot, but bluehost gives you unlimited databases and has much simpler install process for things like wordpress

    Bluehost is the hosting services I believe I am going to go with. Joomla themselves recommends them.
