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.

What are Keywordbasket.com & Keyword-suggest-tool.com. Competitors have Tons of these
My client is in the Custom Scale Model industry. They build Custom Aircraft Models, Custom Ship Models and more. Their competitor's Backlinks reports have a Ton of metrics coming from: http://www.keywordbasket.com and https://www.keyword-suggest-tool.com There is line after line of these entries in the backlink report. As much as 50 line entries. what exactly is happening here? Are they manually using these tools to generate search entries and caching this data in the form of Backlinks?

I have a site that is showing Internal 0 Equity-Passing Links, 0 Internal links, and every page bar the homepage has a PageAuthority of 0\. Any suggestions on why this could be?
The website has been around for several years, although did undergo a significant redesign at the end of last year. I greatly appreciate any help.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a good XML Sitemap Generator? Also interested in best practices and tips for updating the XML Sitemap. I typically have relied on my web developers to do this however it seems that they have not been setting this up with SEO in mind.

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:
