I need a really good Ecommerce host.

Needs to have good space and bandwidth - NOT UNLIMITED!

Needs to be a reliable host aswell, one that will keep its promises and always have the staff online and awaiting my questions/problems.

Please list a few, then I will do research on them before I make my final decision.

I'm sure my post is a little late but I wanted to point out that a friend of mine worked at Commerx a while back and something to keep in mind is that they are not a very big company and had their servers in-house. Now that may sound good byt there was no redundant power or internet so if the primary went down so did your site. The last thing he mentioned that I found funny is that there is a sprinkler right above the machines so if there is a fire....well I'm sure you can guess.

Depending on how big you want to go with something you may want your own server. You can get co-location pretty cheap these days. Otherwise I would talk to companies and find out what they do for redundency and get something in writting regarding SLA and what happens if they go down.


Hope that helps

My father is a webhost and has his servers inside their datacenter.

They have their own deisel engine backup generator, a ups battery backup the size of a couple hummers, and lots of space :)
