They don't give access to my own domain record (name, e-mail, address, dns servers etc). All the initial info of whois has no relation to me. So don't use them as registar. 2. The support forum takes days until the administrator approves your post (if ever) and published. 3. When you create a joomla site from Fantastico, the MySQL db is created with Swedish collation. As a consequence there is no support of foreign languages (ex. Greek). The say it's the fantastico, but in siteground the default collation is UTF-8. - Manolis Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:23:31 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1674 Yeah, that is also what i think of first before buying a webhost. Some priced their hosting plan too high but in return you don't even get your expectations. >:( At this moment I'm happy with my Server, it also have a unlimited Joomla Auto installation ;D , and 1 think i like about it is its very affordable yet reliable. only $1 per month ;D you guys try: http://jollyworkshosting.info - Inyi Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:48:00 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1599 I have dealt with a lot of hosting companies in the past, with any reputable company the hosting services are all able the same. If you are power user like me somewhere along the road you will discover that it all about the service, AND this is where I have to take my hat off to http://www.joomlawired.com/ I had an Joomla! issue and got through to someone who could help on the 1st call! No messing around or being passed from person to person. - joomavatar Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:13:55 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1349 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiDXWxykHiQ Here's a video, which shows how you can setup Joomla at FreeHostia, it's quite easy.

But after years of being a loyal customer they did something that really made me regret ever hosting with them in the first place. One of my clients had a billing dispute with them that went un-resolved, so what do they do to force their way, they suspend my entire reseller account! websites for clients that have nothing to do with this were shut down, e-commerce sites in valentine season were closed, because site ground wanted to resolve the dispute their way. I called to resolve the issue a number of times, most of the time getting generic responses, until I got hung-up on. A word of advice, if you are going to take the risk and work with a company that does not value its customers, make sure you back up every site you have regularly, because one day you will need to move someplace else. - Kamal Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:23:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1331 Hi Cory, Thanks very much for the quick reply. I just sent Eleven2 a message asking about their Joomla support (I gave you a plug as having recommended them). They haven't had a chance to respond but they do have some VERY nice hosting packages available. - Bill Andre Sat, 07 Feb 2009 10:43:10 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1330 Hi Bill, I don't think the staff at Eleven2 are equipped to handle Joomla questions. They are great with hosting support, though. Very responsive.

Because my storage and data transfer requirements are pretty small, I was going to move my site to Rochen. I have read that they are Joomla hosting experts. After reading this article and checking out their website, I may go with Eleven2.com. Are their support people able to help with Joomla questions? Thanks. - Bill Andre Sat, 07 Feb 2009 07:19:46 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1324 I personally use www.striveit.com their support is excellent and they got my website up and running within a few minutes. Although their services are not free its as cheap as they come for less than $1 a month:D All their linux packages also meets the minimum requirements discussed in this article. - KevinM Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:58:41 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1297 There are a lot of good free hosts out there for Joomla. I personally use www.podserver.info they have been very good, and I know there are lots more out there that are pretty good as well. It just takes a while to find them. - Mombo-Joomla Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:56:28 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1225 Oh, i can't visit the joomla free host that you said, and i just use another free host :synthasite.com , it's very good free host ,but not support mysql [url]http://www.joomlavm.com[/url] - widcater Sun, 21 Dec 2008 01:45:21 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/2008101093/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-pick-a-joomla-host#comment-1065 You should take a look at free hosts.
