    Hello! My company is looking for a new web host, and I figured I'd pose the question here for some suggestions.

    Right now, they are looking at iPage because of the reviews. Does anyone have any experiences with iPage?

    Any other recommendations would be awesome. Our company is about 100 employees. We would use the host for website and emails.

    Thank you!

    If you just need a static website, it doesn't matter who you use. 1and1, hostgator, godaddy. However, I would recommend using gmail or microsoft's email service for you email.

    Hostgator or bluehost. I've been with Hostgator for a year now and have no complaints about them. Pretty user-friendly setup and good uptime. Their tech support, however, is phenomenal. There's a ton of hosting companies out there, but not all of them actually give a damn about around the clock support,.

    Hostgator has excellent customer service and their hosted sites load quicker then GoDaddy's sites.

    I have a few servers at different locations. I would recommend Host Gator between the ones I have. Always had great support all the way around. As someone else recommended I would use Gmail to hose your business email. Does a great job and so much better.

    One vote FOR Hostgator here. They've been great.

    One vote AGAINST Godaddy. They were awful for me/us.

    I will recommend 1and1's hosting. I've been with them for about 6 years now, and have had no problem. They continue to have specials on referrals, big packages, dedicated hosting, etc. :cool: www.1and1.com, I can give you my # offline for referral for free months for you and me if you decide to use them.
