Thank you for the review.
I prefer site5 myself. I have many sites hosted on their servers.

I’m hosted at (mt) Media Temple and am happy with them. The major problem with (mt) recently (as in like 2 months ago), is that they had 6 hour scheduled maintenance/downtime. While this really sucked, it was going to improve our service a lot. It was going to be okay, it was the middle of the night (but still downtime). Their maintenance failed, and took 12 hours total on Grid.Cluster.1. Since then, there has been no downtime. Other than that one thing, I’m happy. I got dugg, and my site didn’t slow down one bit (and I wasn’t using any plugins for caching, just WP caching at the time!). Also, a friends article got dugg, and had a 4MB file linked in the article that was on my server. I got about 3000 downloads of that file within a day or two, and (mt) didn’t care. With all of that, i’m really happy with them, although I am considering giving Project Hosting a try, because it sounds really good.

@Jaypee: I’ve heard Site5 gets mad if you host a java IRC chatroom on your site (not a server, just a room), but thats just a rumor. I’ve heard they aren’t the greatest from a few people.

Great review Michael. Keep us updated about your experiences with Project Hosting, good or bad.

@Japee
If you can’t afford the PH is charging. I would highly recommend HostingZoom.com base on my own experience. I’ve been with HZ for about a year and a half now, so far so great. The tech support answers all the questions you might have in a lightning fast manner. When I posted a ticket it takes about 15 mins to get a reply from support. HZ knows how to take care of their costumers. You might want to check them out yourself. hostingzoom.com

From what you’ve mentioned, it looks like Project H is indeed a good hosting provider. However, for those of us who can’t afford the $20/month tab, which one can you recommend?

Btw, you also mentioned that you were previously hosted at Site5. Would you recommend them or not? Thanks!

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of good things about MediaTemple. I’ve also heard a lot of bad things.

For now, we’ll be sticking with Project H.

Good review. By now I’m using MediaTemple for my sites and cannot complain about it.
