Mediatemple is shutting down, need an alternative to Godaddy suggestions?

I have been debating on using them and I also really dont like their backend that much looks like something from 2008... I actually just came across ********* that seems you pay to use any cloud host like aws, digital ocean, etc.. as you want but they manage the server and set things up for you... seems pretty cool anyone have any expierence with *********?

So theres a reason their name comes off as stars here, they are banned here and a lot of other places because they spam their services everywhere.

Theyre very pushy, too. And cheapskates. And spammers. But Im not surprised, theyre in India.

How long has it been? In days, hours. (Not a week, as some people think Fri to Mon is a week because it had a weekend in between, which is truly stupid.)Need a good host?

They were recently acquired by DigitalOcean but I dont know if that has any bearing on where theyre based.

Then again - location doesnt always mean much. Ive worked with plenty of people and companies from India that were fantastic and Ive worked with a lot of people and companies from the United States that were awful.

Yes, but nothing appears to be integrated yet. Wait for it.

There are exceptions for sure, but so far my experience corroborates these generalities unfortunately.

Perfectly describes 9 out of 10 people I dealt with (potential buyers) during my GPU scalping days not too long ago. I didnt want to deal with lost deliveries and long distance fraud plus I live in metro/downtown area so I used the Australian equivalent of Craigslist.

I had low inventory though it was just fun/animal instinct and I was out of stock in 2 weeks, so low sample size.

Choking on lobster could be deadly.

With most things, you travel about, no major issues.

When it comes to web hosting in general, oddities on sensors, yellow alert.

When it comes to web hosting, and certain geographies (India, Pakistan, China, etc), entering Neutral Zone, cloaked ships believed to be in the area, red alert, shields up, warp engines on standby to GTFO if needed. You can always cancel the alert, lower shields, but youre a naive damned fool to just wander about without any defenses, keen observations, or an escape plan.

Ponder this: why else would so many companies have their hosting in English, charging USD, on a .com domain? Theyre pretending, lying even. That alone gets negative marks in my book. If you have a site in Hindi, charge rupees, at a .in domain, then thats on me if I get screwed over. Some people will make every excuse why this pretending is valid to be done, but it pisses off the vast majority of people in North America (USA, Canada, even Mexico). Even mere outsourcing of support pisses off most people.

Again, the aforementioned geographical norm: pushy, cheap, spammy, overall general lack of ethics. Does that sound like hosting in general to you? Why yes, yes it does.

That brings us full circle to the original post. MT is shutting down, Godaddy is a crap company for reasons not related to geography. But it means be even wiser at selecting a new host, not trading down or trading sideways.Need a good host?

I am not, and never have said, that the generalizations you made are wholly incorrect or shouldnt exist. You are right that generalizations exist for a reason. All I said was that there are exceptions. Generally you will get good service from the USA and bad service from India - but it goes both ways - I have gotten bad service from the USA and good service from India. Thats all I was saying initially.

As far as comparing scalping video cards to a terrible provider shilling their own services - Im not sure I see that connection which is why I called it apples to oranges. I could also say, The last time I went to get a quote for auto body work on a vehicle - there was not an Indian in sight, but I am not sure how thats even close to being related to the discussion at hand.

It is sad to see the MT brand dying - they used to be worthwhile but that was a long time ago before GD bought them.

I agree GD is crap and should be avoided.

At the end of the day Im not sure that you or I disagree - just that I added a bit more detail to your generalizations just to add additional information making it clear that they are generalizations and not absolute statements of fact without exception.Michael Denney-MDDHosting.com- Founded 2007

When it comes to domains - do most US providers , or do they prefer .com, .net etc?

Why would Indian providers differ when it comes to that?

Having said that, I prefer when the about us page shows name, face, location and infrastructure used.Detailed info about providers whose services Ive used:

It doesnt make sense to sell your service to foreigners and charge your local currency. USD is probably the most universal currency.

When it comes to domains - do most US providers use.us, or do they prefer .com, .net etc?

Why would Indian providers differ when it comes to that?

Having said that, I prefer when the about us page shows name, face, location and infrastructure used.Theyre not selling to foreigners.

Theyre targeting foreigners (U.S.), pretending to NOT be foreigners (non-U.S.). Thats the difference.

Youre in Serbia. You state this, open, not hiding.

Most Europeans target the full European market, including EU and non-EU. Thats understandable.

Most people outside of Europe consider Europe mostly a single entity anyway. Any differences are quaint, regional, mostly related to the tourist traps and attractions. I dont really care about the petty internal squabbles of UK, Greece, Serbia, etc, any more than I do California or Florida. (Ukraine is different, outsiders from Asia invaded it.)

Therefore you accept euros, probably not even your own currency if paid online.

Europe isnt India, or China, or some others. Vastly different culture and ethic. You see the U.S. as a partner, not foreigners to be taken advantage of. You dont lie, cheat, spam, etc. At least not in general, aka the generality. Inversely, the U.S. consider Europe a close trading/business partner. I know I do.

By contrast, India is an arms-length trading partner, not a close one.

Nobody in U.S. uses a .us domain. If leaving .com/net/org/edu/gov, itll be something like .io/co/me or one of the new gTLDs. Most .us is taken for brand protection, never actually used. If youre not careful, the .us opens you up to spam, so you have to register it in a way that protects your identity (ie, an agent, not you directly). In fact, .us tends to be overrun by spammers, many of which were bought by foreign spammers, even though the TLD is not supposed to be available to non-US entities or citizens. There are spam agents out there. Again, ethics.

I dont wish to OT this too much. But its probably a reason MT was chosen by the OP. Dont lose focus of that fact, not do DD to get a new quality host.Need a good host?
