Take a look for yourself at http://www.hostexcellence.com/ . I have
been on this host over 2 years and recently upgraded to their top plan:
First Class Excellence. They describe their services in great detail.
So far as I have seen, their descriptions are accurate. If I remember
correctly, you are about 1/2 way around the world from me, so I do not
know how this service would work for you if most of your users are in
your area, especially if you need very high speed broadband. I usually
can get up to about 5 Mbps download speeds for my site and other sites
in the US that do not overload their servers. I can get fairly high
download speeds for 2 speed test sites in London. However download
speed drops to as low as 1 Mbps for test sites in some countries.
However the parent company has branches in other countries, but I do
not know anything about the quality of these. Of course what I like may
not meet the needs of someone else, so one always has to read the fine
print. Nearly everything is highly automated, and they do not run a
hosting school for beginners. However they do have 24/7 support by
email, phone, and chat for problems with their service. The high degree
of automation probably is one of the main reasons that they can offer
so much for a reasonable price. Of course, with the history of so many
apparently fine hosting companies suddenly going out of business, my
main advice is to keep your site backed up at all times, even if you
have a host that has an outstanding reputation and has been in business
for many years. I keep my site backed up on an internal and an external
HD on the computer and on DVDs at another location in case the computer
gets destroyed.
