Anyone uses register365?

    Hi.

    It's time to renew my website, and while IEInternet want close to €300, register365 want ... less than €50 for the same service!

    IEInternet agreed to reduce their cost to around €200 after I told them about register365, but claim to have a superior service than other hosting companies.

    IEInternet did provide me with a very good service for the last 7 years, and I have no idea about register365.

    Saving €150 is tempting, but since half of my business comes from the Internet, uptime and reliability are very important for me.

    Any feedback is welcome.

    Thanking you.

    Shay.

    I use them for some small projects that i do. Nothing substantial but i've had no problem with them so far.

    Your hosting company might be providing you with more services than you realise so it might be a good idea to get a run down of everything they give you and find comparative prices elsewhere.

    I really do need only domain name + basic hosting at this stage. Might require PHP later, but think register365 has this too.

    Thank you for your reply.

    Wonderful. Thanks! I feel much more reassured now.

    There are plenty of hosting companies offering competitive prices. Shop around and see if you can find a company that offers something that you need at a price that you like.

    Bear in mind, however, that cost should not be the only deciding factor.

    Some of the largest Irish providers are the ones listed here:

    Since my requirements at this stage are pretty minimal (I might go drupal later, but this still does not require anything special), I reckon price is an important factor if stability,reliability and uptime are all 100%.

    Unfortunately no one reports their downtime and stability issues, which is why I was hoping for some insight here.

    If there is anything else you think I should look at, please let me know.

    Thanks

    "Downtime" is always a hard one to gauge.

    Most larger hosting providers will have dozens if not hundreds of servers, so while a single server might have an issue, it is a lot less likely that all of them will be impacted at once.

    The best thing to do would be to google for the company names you are interested in checking up

    eg. company problems,company service, company support

    Am I risking any SEO by moving servers?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    As long as you aren't restructuring your website at the same time - probably not - no
