Hosting Reviews and Suggestions
-
I have been going round in circles trying to find a Hostings company with a good reputation and service etc...
For ever one you find you find reviews sayings its shocking... I was planning to take a straw poll using the vote up and down function to try and spot good ones. I will add the ones I know about or use/tried. If you like just vote up. Any more suggestions for companies please add them with your views. Try and reply to the right hostings companies with reviews.
Not sure if this is suitable for SEOMoz I apologise if this is not and offends anyone.

As I suspected everyone has a different favourite.... Going to need more people to weigh in with opinions before we start to see a pattern.

If you are starting out then I recommend the Hostgator baby croc package they have absolutely brilliant support and all the scripts and features you will ever need from cPanel hosting.
Hope that helps

Dediserve.com - I cannot speak highly enough of them. After messing around with shared hosting for years I finally decided VPS was the way forward. Not the cheapest but by far the best value and I've been with them all!! (including 3 of those you mention above).
Edit: Check out their Twitter page for plenty of good mentions. Also I guess I should have put my affiliate link in there too : https://billing.dediserve.com/?affid=76

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your input I'm closely looking at UK2.Net for my simple sites and then RackSpace when I get bigger. Heard RackSpace mentioned ALOT.
Also curious about setting up a backup service for the sites just in case can't make my mind up to backup to my local server or find another service... not sure.
Yeah GoDaddy is crap lol...been there done that got the t-shirt. So my vote is UK2.Net I think....
Thanks for the advice... deleting them now...
Hopefully this post will benefit everyone, Wasn't sure if a forum would be as good to find this out so decided to ask here hoping the input would be better...
PS: Can't edit the post :S

The way you are doing this is probably not the best way to find out. I suggest editing out the 6 or so ones you have put up here as the thumbs up and down are not for what you are trying. Why not simply put up the question without that. You could still use an ordered list to throw out some names for people to ponder. Maybe ask them to give their top three and then you tabulate them in a couple of days and add as a reply on this question.
First you need to clarify whether you are talking about hosting for a single site or a dedicated server to put multiple sites/clients on.
We use a dedicated for most of our clients and, for me, the best I have used is RackSpace, but they are expensive. Blue Host is used by our dev team along with Network Solutions for hosting a couple of simple client sites.
Who I have quit using (unfortunately a lot of clients are still on server and/or hosted sites still) GoDaddy.com because of service, and their support of SOPA. I also quit using media Temple because we just had too many times when our sites went down.
Hopefully, there will be some good input on this for you as I am interested too. I move all hosting, etc. in June so I need to know.

Moz isn't recognizing content on our website hosted on bubble.is
Hi all. We have a bubble.is site and it's difficult to get Moz to recognize the text on the site (even though Google seems to recognize it most of the time). The pages are recognized...just not the text. **In case you want to play around: ** https:getmarlow.com/about https://getmarlow.com/article/gather-data-on-where-your-time-and-energy-go-1579415891021x868278876529492000

How to push negative product review sites down.
Hi Guys, One of my respected clients have some issues with negative product review sites coming up when they search their brand name on google. So for an exmaple, when I search for Company Name on google, the 3rd and 4th results are angry customer reviews. This is harming my clients brand so bad. My questions are, 1. What should I do to push these results down. I am happy to do pretty much ANYTHING to push these sites down. 2. I'm also thinking of doing a blog for this client for SEO purposes and wondering the pros and cons of having the blog as a subdomain vs subfolder. Which will help me to again, push the negative site links down. Thanks

A suggestion to help with linkscape crawling and data processing
Since you guys are understandably struggling with crawling and processing the sheer number of URLs and links, I came up with this idea: In a similar way to how SETI@Home (is that still a thing? Google says yes: http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/) works, could SEOmoz use distributed computing amongst SEO moz users to help with the data processing? Would people be happy to offer up their idle processor time and (optionally) internet connections to get more accurate, broader data? Are there enough users of the data to make distributed computing worthwhile? Perhaps those who crunched the most data each month could receive moz points or a free month of Pro. I have submitted this as a suggestion here:

Feature Suggestions
Along with the current crawl notices (canonical links, 301s, etc) you should add "meta refresh". Those are tricky to catch via the human eye unless you are paying very close attention and they definitely effect your SEO if not done properly. Thoughts?
