I am thinking about geting a hosting company but don't know of any ones.

I am living in Montreal Canada.

Which ones are the best ?

Which ones are to avoid ?

Hi Browser_ice,

Just for your notice - many companies might accept payment by cheques, so its a matter of timely delivery and processing.

I know two companies located in Montreal, http://www.blinx.net and http://www.iweb.ca I met owners of both companies, visited their sites, so the impression is definite that both companies are running a tight ship. Hope this helps a little.

Best,

Check bestwebhosting.ca. It is Canadian hosting directory.

cheers

Comparing blinx.net and iweb.ca is a joke. blinx.net is a one man operation when iweb.ca is public company.

There are quite a few hosting company's in montreal.
www.iweb.ca
www.netelligent.ca
www.openface.com
www.peer1.net
www.canix.ca
www.bullhosting.com

and the list goes on...

Who is comparing? I just stated that both companies are being run very well from where I am sitting, doesn't matter whether its a one-man operation or a public company.
You names some other great choices btw.

I will add www.HampshireHosting.ca to the list. They have just celebrated their 3rd anniversary. Not a bad number for the industry.

And in what way does that make them a better company ? Please clarify this for me, we've been in business for a few years now and never heard this one, if anything customers like the fact that we're not huge (I say we because we outsource support) but you're correct I run the shop and that's why I have control over everything.

Big is not necessary the best since they have alot of clients to handle, so they don't have time to take care of you correctly.

are they resellers or have own datacenters?
