Website Hosting - Who Do You Host With?
I am at my wit's end with GoDaddy. I was with Bluehost a while back and kept getting DNS attacks so I switched and in the last few weeks, it's been site error non stop. What is everything hosting with, that works well with Sytist?
This is all personal preference. I use AWS and fast comet . Good luck in your search.
I agree with Aaron, it's all personal preference.
I use Saratoga Hosting and Amazon Web Services S3
I use Black Nova Designs for hosting and I know them personally. Great family company and always quick to fix anything I need.
Amazon S3 for images
How much do you have to pay for ongoing bandwidth?
Stay where you're at but switch to cloudflare dns. Get the $20/month account and report the attack problem. They will mitigate it pretty fast. Later you can downgrade to their free account.
Good for you! ;) I was wondering... I've thought about doing that, but my bandwidth couldn't keep up during my busy times. I run my own servers through LiquidWeb. But your way would work great for many photographers! If they can figure out a basic low-dollar server with lots of storage! And it's really not that hard to do.
We switched to Saratoga and AWS a few years ago and it was the best choice we ever made.
Dave did all the heavy lifting for me and the price is very good. Only one very minor issue in ll that time and it was quickly resolved. Our previous host was terible and the site was always slow.
None of those problems anymore.
We need a way to connect (via ftp) the sytist program to a local computer at our homes with lots of storage and simply bypass AWS, and other providers' high storage fees. Would probably require more tech support than any company wants though. lol
Switched to Saratoga Web Hosting and it was the BEST decision (other than choosing Sytist) for my photo business! While GoDaddy is good for a simple wordpress site and other sales sites, it was a NIGHTMARE with Sytist. Dave at Saratoga is a great guy and I can't recommend Saratoga highly enough. He and Tim work well together and the combination of Sytist and Saratoga are perfect for what we do!
Caveat here: At this time Dave is a "SOLE proprietor" doing everything himself and CRAZY busy, so you WILL have to wait in the que to get switched over (in my case it was a couple months), but I PROMISE, it is WORTH the wait 100%!!! EVERY single problem I had was SOLVED with his help (he helped me in other areas than just hosting). I can now sleep at night.....
OVH provider EU sytist works well and the rates are good
