I have BLUEHOST for web hosting and email but I dont like it...help and suggestions for replacement?
I recommend you to switch to Gmail Apps.





www.google.com/a





It is free (for up to 50 email addresses) and you basically


get gmail accounts but with your own domain name.





This is the best solution for small businesses:





1. It's completely free!


2. Mails are in the cloud, so you can access them from anywhere, but over a secure SSH encrypted connection


(just change http://www to https://www)


3. But you can use any desktop or mobile mail client just like with gmail over POP3 or IMAP.


4. You also get Google calendar, Google docs...





There's a guide on Google apps site on setting it up.


Basically you just have to point your domain MX records to Google server. So you don't have to change host just for email.


Even if you switch hosts you'd probably get the same slow unresponsive email service you have now. They're all that bad.
Reply:Recommend you go with Microsoft Office Live Small Business, a free service - http://starturl.com/officelive . It comes with a free online design tool that lets you create web pages without coding. Additionally, you can upload your own entire website if you do not want to use its only design tool. Currently, MS is offering a free domain name (i.e. yourlawfirm.com) for the first year. Since you alerady host at Bluehost, presume you have your own domain. You can redirect that to Office Live. Office Live also provides 100 free email accounts - they use the Hotmail interface so the infrastructure is very stable, but using your own domain (i.e. email@yourlawfirm.com).



Reply:I've designed websites for almost 10 years. I've tested out a few hosting services, but now heartily recommend Hostmonster (http://www.hostmonster.com/track/dfnt23)...





They have excellent technical support (I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to speak to a "real person"!), and a very simple interface. They're reliable, and have powerful features. I think you'll like it.





But be sure to call them up and ask if their webmail will work for your situation. You can find out more details at http://www.hostmonster.com/track/dfnt23





Hope that helps!
Reply:Take a look at: http://www.goldpuma.com . As an experienced webmaster I鈥檓 sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer %26amp; I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. Their services are really fast and affordable. Godaddy is a good service. But these days their servers run slowly, because of overselling!
Reply:Hostmonster webhosting is the best one

Reply:godaddy.com works for some of my friends.


It's cheap and they do a ton of services to make sure your stuff is secure.

  1. Why you dont like bluehosting? It's the best and fast. Hmm. We have different experience but I think your experience in bluehosting is not ok. Why dont you try to use VPS hosting? Very reliable.
