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.

How to deal with fake review posted on ripoffreport.com by a competitor.
In 2010 we launched a product update (physical product) that was really good for us in sales and we were taking a lot of business from our main competitor. To stop the bleeding they posted a fake ripoffreport (completely made up pretending to be a former employee, we are a family business and employ few people with almost no turn over in the last 10 years). They also posted fake reviews on Google's local product at the time for any store that used to use their product but that had switched to ours. We were able to get google to remove the fake reviews as there was no way one user visited over 100 stores and purchased the same service on the same day in all these locations around the US. But they would do nothing about delisting the report page without a court order. So the fake google reviews went away, but the ripoffreport has become immortal. The reviews were originally posted anonymously and then commented on by another anonymous user. These same two anonymous users then filed ripoffreports against a couple of our mutual customers as well. Since they are anonymous we cannot sue anyone to get them to remove it, since it is passed the statutes of limitations we cannot do a john doe law suit to get a judgment by default. So the report is there to stay. We have worked to get more content up about us, we have great product reviews on facebook and other outlets that have sold and spotlighted our products, and we are partnering with industry specific bloggers and traditional media content sites to get links and reviews (all white hat stuff, great public relations stuff), but we cannot get our interior pages, facebook pages, or the other reviews to rank higher than this report when searching for our brand name and even worse when you search for our "brand name reviews" it is the first result on google. Can anyone help me understand how I can use MOZ to help me identify how to outrank this page with interior pages so that it falls off the front page of google? Sorry if that is a newbie question but I have done a lot of things and it has worked some but not as much as I need it to. And it seems that in the last few weeks the report has become stronger in the rankings again. Any suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Websites First Crawl - Over 2 Hour Suggested Wait
Hello SEOMoz! We recently signed up for a free trial and on the pro dashboard it states the following. "To get you started quickly Roger is crawling up to 250 pages on your site. You should see these results within two hours. The full crawl will complete within 7 days." It's been nearly 24 hours and we see no results under Crawl Diagnostics however we do under rankings. Is this normal? 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:
