Like most “web developers” I have courted many hosts over the years, back in 2003 my love affair with Hosting365.ie began. Finally I found a host that
- Had “Irish” IP addresses (thereby allowing entry to Google.ie’s Pages from Ireland only radio button search)
- Had their own IP addresses (not in some other companies data centre and subject to change)
- Had a nice control panel (hsphere)
- Had resonable prices
- Had a good uptime record
but getting to the crux I finally found a host that had a nice control panel, hsphere.
I was just talking to a friend who was trying to convince me to move to Blacknight.ie (probably because he has a referral account there!), but after looking at their control panel for 10 minutes I just couldn’t leave Hosting365’s lovely hsphere. Yet for the importance of the control panel to customers few companies provide screen shots of their panels to prospective hosters.
I hope it’s for more than JUST Hsphere that you like Hosting365 ! Why not pop in sometime and see all the shiny-stuff that’s actually powering that nice control panel.
I’ve noticed you are a real Hsphere fan … what do you think of HS 3.0 (http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation/versions/300_features.html)? There’s certainly more popular cpanels (pun intended), but Hsphere aside from having a nice interface, is actually -IMO- the most stable shared hosting platform out there because of the distributed architecture is utilises as standard.
