Many years ago when I was started looking for web hosting providers to host my web sites. It was complicated and confusing. I didn’t know which web hosting provider to go with and which one to stay away. Which web host company offers the best value and how much should I pay.

Well, ever since that time I had been using many different web-hosting companies for the past 5 years. I have gone and sign up with many web hosting providers with multiple shared web hosting accounts and up to VPS accounts. I will tell you which web hosting companies I very like and which ones I do not like.

Currently I have one account with FatCow and two accounts with HostGator. The reasons I have three different accounts because I don’t want too many sites jam into one place. If I have all my sites into one account, it will surely reduce the server performance and I might even get kick out. By having different shared hosting accounts, I can reduce my cost and take full advance of the unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space many web hosting providers offer on their shared hosting plans. When I am ready, I will eventually move up to a VPS, but to save money I will stick with share hosting until I am ready to move up.

If you been hacked by Sarbot511, it is likely it will happen again because your network security appliances on your network is NOT up to par. I would highly recommend going with HostGator, because of their state of the art network security solutions. I made the switch after the Sarbot 511 and everything is back to normal.

See the image below of the screen capture of one of my web site when the hack happened. If you want to, you can click here and see the actual file used by the hacker. (I scan it, there is no virus but it contain very bad html codes)
