Has anyone had any experience with hostgators reseller plans or hostxl.net
i am very new to this and do not want to be singing a sad song by choosing the wrong company.

Maybe you should post your question as a new thread instead of burying it here.

Now, to answer your question a bit, I only have shared hosting experience with hostgator (not reseller). I had no downtime for nearly 5 months. Then a small downtime (under 30 mins) while they were under a very hard DDoS attack, so it wasn't really they fault. In fact they handled it very well.

I don't need much support, but they are always available by either live chat, MSN messanger, etc. When I sent emails to support I received answers in about 5 mins.

I split the thread to make it easier for the initial poster to get feedback.

Thanks ldcdc
Sorry, i am new to this discussion group.
I appreciate your input, Anyone have any experience with hostxl.net.
I have been reading all the bad remarks but am hoping for some more positive ones.

Thanks

Hi again HostProNZ!

Here's a thread about hostxl.net that you might want to take a look at:

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...hreadid=281443

It appears that they're new in business, which means that there's little chance of finding customers of theirs as they can't have many yet.

I heard good words about hostgators. Here is a thread about it : http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...ght=hostgators

Where did you hear about hostxl.net and why are you "hoping" to hear good things about them when you've only heard bad so far.

Personally if I only hear bad things about a hosting company, I don't go searching for good things, I go searching for a different host.

Thanks guys,
I had not until now heard anything bad about hostxl and was really just trying to get some feedback.
i really appreciate the help.

??????????

I thought that I would add that HostXL claims to have over 200 clients. This I find unlikely, if even possible at all since they started in December. Most hosts don't take off like in 6 months. Correct me if I am wrong.

Let's keep adding.

The owner has been banned from WHT. Twice, because he signed up a second time.

First time posters seem to be signing up at various forums to "ask questions" about them, a very very common spam technique, and very similar to this thread.

The owner actually had the nerve to call someone a scam artist because they were offering unlimited bandwidth, when hostxl is overselling maximum.

He has admitted to people on another forum that he uses a stolen (warez) template design, and it's been shown that he uses plagiarized text.

On 04/07/2004 they claimed to be opened for business for 2 months and wanted a review.
On 05/15/2004 they claimed to be opened for business for 5 months and wanted a review.
They registered their domain 03/15/2004.
Do the math.


Do you have any more questions about this model citizen?

Blue has certainly done his homework.

Hi again,
I see where the confusion was,
Where i refered to hearing bad things, i was meaning another post i had read about best and worst hosts and i had not heard anything about hostxl specifacally (nothing good either)
Didn't mean to cause confusion.

Blue always does his homework. He's the HD Private Investigator

Yes... I know he always does his homework. I've seen him just as prepared in some other places too, not just on HD.
