Turnkey Internet in Latham, New York. Why?

1. A real, live, honest-to-goodness American answered the phone when I called their support number at 4:00 a.m. before I opened an account.

2. That American knew what he was talking about.

3. Fast setup.

4. Super-fast support responses to every ticket I submitted, including one where a Cpanel installation hosed the NIC settings and I had no connectivity to fix it.

5. Very reasonable prices.

For me personally, they're also sort of local -- about two hours away, give or take.

My previous hosting company, with whom I'd been for seven years, **** the bed with gusto after an acquisition or merger with another company. A routine server migration became a two-week (and counting) sojourn through the Tenth Circle of Hell -- the one even Dante couldn't bring himself to write about. My experience with Turnkey has been like a breath of fresh air.

So far I've set up three cloud servers and moved a whole bunch of accounts, and the process has been a pleasure. The only hiccup was the problem with the cPanel thing, which I could have avoided by specifying that the OS be pre-loaded with CentOS and cPanel. I was trying to avoid the updates (which take longer than a fresh installation), so that was my fault. The pre-loaded images have that problem corrected.

Full disclosure: The link up top is a referral link. I get some sort of compensation if anyone signs up. Hey, we're not communists, after all.

Been using them for a year or so for a Windows .NET site I have. Have not had a problem.

I also use Interserver for some Wordpress sites and some other stuff.

That's good to know.

I forgot to mention that the servers and network are very fast. Part of that could be my proximity, but clients have already commented on it, too.

I have both Windows and Linux accounts with Interserver. I go the Turnkey account because the Interserver Windows hosting sucked.
