Bitcoin Forum

So, I'm looking for a good, affordable web hoster which takes Bitcoin to host my site. I've seen hosting sites pop up and then suddenly disappear every once in a while, so I'd like to know which sites are the most reputable, before I'll throw any money in. :)

EDIT :
I have already found a web host.

EDIT 2 :
Actually, no. The host I chose is going down in about a month.

he did say "good"...

whats wrong with kaly?

Poor customer support, apparently

Looked at Microtronix Hosting, most of their pages are 404'ing at the moment.

I use hosting24
its not bitcoin, but its cheep like dirt, but sometimes the site goes down for a min.

please let us know if you find a good one. http://thebitcoinreview.com/ - SHOULD be able to answer questions like this, but we need more reviews!

That's a rare fluke: They're in the middle of a move, and something knocked out one of their DNS servers for a day.  20% of their accounts were affected, and they've already apologized humbly and offered their users 10% off their bill to make amends.

I use their service and cannot recommend them enough.  Full-featured accounts at good rates, cron included, responsive and attentive tech and customer support.  I've already had them go beyond the call of duty for me more than once.

Check out their separate bitcoind accounts if you just need a bitcoin daemon running on a site you already have, to add BitCoin functionality.

Oh, and you can have your site at MicroT running cron every minute if you'd like, so that end-users encounter minimal wait-time as the sent bitcoins wait for however many network confirmations you've stipulated are required to complete the transaction.

Alright, I already chose a web host a few days ago (Web Host Layer).

Everything has worked nicely for now, even though I had a small problem when settings things up (turns out an important e-mail post had been marked as spam by Google.)

That happens a lot when mails contain logins to control panels, FTP servers, etc. ;) Don't blame them :)

They handled it nicely though. Turns out the link to cPanel through the Client Area on their site didn't work, so I should've used the link in the post that had been marked as spam. They fixed it and gave me a free month of hosting. :)

I've been only using them for a few days, but so far it has been very smooth.

Well you can trust we will be online.. forever.. Were not just accepting bitcoins.

I'd much rather support any Bitcoin merchants than pump money into legacy systems, but thanks for stopping by the Bitcoin forums to advertise a non-bitcoin service!

Excuse me? We take any currency, and accept Bitcoin as another form of payment. Thrashing people for using other currencies and not just Bitcoin isn't and won't help the Bitcoin reputation.

I apologize, the difference between "not just", and "just not" is pretty big, and I must have misread.

If you come here to advertise your service that doesn't accept bitcoins, you earn an insult in my book.
I'm it was only a mistake on my part.

haha someone had to say it..

Seriously I've had bad exeperiences with kaly hosting, although i hear every other service works flawlessly.

Consider this thread reopened.

WebHostLayer, the web host my site is currently hosted on, is going down May 14th, which means that almost six months of web hosting payments I've done in bitcoins just went down the drain without a chance for refunds.

That's so lame... They were so cheap :/

So you need just a hosting service, or do you feel like being the admin of your own VPS?

I prefer just web hosting. I have no experience of running a VPS.

I misread this too, and would have had the same response.

Anyone recommend a VPS provider which will give me root access?

http://bitvps.com/ uses KVM virt, so you get root.

It's run by rg, and you can chat with him and his team on IRC.

I can't remember at this point if it was payment for opticbit.in, or the basic hosting for a month. but never got service.

sent an e-mail- got a request for my invoice, but i never got the invoice in the e-mail have't gotten any e-mails since.

looks like the site has changed a bit, and useing the same script the others are useing.

http://www.btcwebhost.com/web-hosting.php - went to click order got a 404...   Went to the order page and it seems to work. 

 I just got hosting from webhostlayer a week ago.  Also got my domain from cinfu.  still in the middle of transferring stuff.

This order was not placed through BTCWebHost.com.

For one thing we have never accepted direct bitcoin payments, Bit-pay has handled our payment processing since day one. There is no record of your order in their system what so ever.

When you emailed me about this, I emailed you back and told you there is no record of your order and you should contact Bit-Pay our payment processor.

I recently acquired some domain names from two bitcoin web hosting companies that went out of business and its possible you purchased from them before they went under.

Those domains are bitcoinwebhost.com and bitcoinwebhosting.com

Please stop spreading mis-information - we host many of the worlds top Bitcoin related web sites and we have a rock solid business record.
 

also if you check out http://blockchain.info/address/1J5k6BUpBbEFcQ9amDoATKAyvy7DLSWj2y

you can tell that is not a Bit-Pay address by the transactions

Bit-Pay uses a unique address for every transaction (obviously)

please know what you are talking about before you make false accusations.

Either there is a glitch in your system or your web host is beyond the scale of awesome.

Hopefully it's the latter.

LOL

thanks for pointing this out, we just moved to a new automated account system - for pointing that out to me and for the mistake I will give you a free month after payment of your first.

Let me fix that :)

Alright, I've chosen a new web host. Let's hope this works out better.

yes the problem i have is from one of your recently acquired domains

I recommend Cinfu (http://www.cinfu.com). I use the VPS and it is very good.

Been going about a year now, and just turned profitable  :) , so cant see any reason to shut down. Great prices, high quality hosting,

Bitcoin-Hosting.com (http://Bitcoin-Hosting.com) 

Bulletproof* hosting in Russian datacenters, $100 a month, hmu

*nothing is truly bulletproof, but this is close enough

I would second BitVPS.COM cause I run it.

We have a shared hosting server for people who don't want to deal with VPS.

james@bitvps.com / sales@bitvps.com for a custom deal.

We're also offering 50% off your first month because we know you'll love it. We're geared toward more advanced users, so if you're not comfortable uploading files via SCP/FTP and using your database through PhpMyAdmin we might not be a great fit but I'd love to hear your ideas/thoughts and perhaps we can come to an agreement.

I have heard great things and read great reviews about this company.

So I decided to try some Bitcoin hosting solutions and I applaud bitvps.com aswell; there servers are super quick.
