I currently use 1&1. I have nothing bad to say about them. I only pay 5 bucks a month, and they are always having specials. When I signed up it was the first 3 months free! Whenever I start getting to the top of my bandwidth limit, I can then upgrade my account. Anything better would be a free dot com site.

I switched to THC after Site5 started getting incredibly unreliable. I was getting database errors and site timeouts three or four times a day for nearly an hour at a time. So far THC has been reliable. Time will tell if they can grow without sucking.

John, thank you for the excellent review. I was very pleased to read it. You are right about the permalink structure - that's sadly something we can no longer change for the blog. If we do, all backlinks we built in time will be lost. You probably know that redirects have no SEO value at all. But the permalink structure is not the most important SEO issue for a blog. There are other SEO aspects we take care of to compensate. The permalink structure doesn't hurt the SE positioning of our blog now. :)

Dom, you just bring on the traffic and you'll see that the "digg effect" is not something THC fears. On site content: we do not host adult content, erotica, racist or any illegal sites.

Not sure how you can avoid Google's dupe content penalties...

"Rumor" has it that there's no penalty only lesser rankings for it, but more links going towards your dupe content than other same content will still rank higher.

Anyways, that's off topic, this hosting looks good, and provides a good SEO service to accompany the selling of the hosting, great idea, I have bookmarked their site.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi there,
What are THC's policies on site content? Also, how does your hosting fare against the "Digg effect"? That seems to be a popular feature in todays hosting needs...

Hi John,

Thank you so much for your realistic review, Yes you had an issue with the affiliate login because we were in maintenance mode. We are improving our affiliate program for better.

I want to take the advantage of this post to reply to "Expert Earning", he is getting a good point for "They try to be a little bit cheaper. The truth is people are looking for a hosting company that offers something different and something better.", for sure we growing fast and we want to be first all the way long, that's why we offer 1 TB and 33 000 GB Bandwidth ( traffic ) . We are the only Hosting Co. that offers these options with a connexion speed at 100 mbps.

Because we love our customers, we want to give them the best on the market.

I'm curious to know for people what is the most important for them from a Hosting Co?

Best Regards

My site is hosted by THC and few weeks ago I got the fully glory of their Speedy hosting plan. My blog got a dedicated IP address (something missing in the default package of other hosts) and enormous hosting resources. I'm very happy so far. Their support departments are very responsive and their server performance is exemplary.

I have seen at least 100 new hosting companies trying to make a living. They all try the same thing. They try to be a little bit cheaper. The truth is people are looking for a hosting company that offers something different and something better.

I got in the offer 2 months ago for $95/lifetime with them.That's right, it's like $1/year :mrgreen: I even blog about it and I guest most missed it. That's what happens when you don't read me. ;) Anyway, I created a niche blog but had troubles while installing Wordpress. Mind you, it's not my first installation of WP ;). They fixed most of the problems in email/live mode.I still have some issues but did not have time to contact them about(other project). I did not have problems with the affiliate side like you.

The funny thing is that their are in my own extended backward a few 2-3 hours away.
