Hi Guys
I'm interested to know if anyone could recommend a host that runs C5 without any problems.
I've been trying to run C5 on Godaddy hosting but I seemt to keep encountering issues. Firstly I had problems on install and now I can't get pretty URLs to work.
I really want to stick with C5 as I think it's great but i'm keen to know if anyone uses a hosting company that will let me run C5 without any hitches!
Incidentally i have considered using C5 hosting but it's a bit expensive.

I highly recommend Host Gator (http://www.hostgator.com). I've got several C5 sites running on Host Gator with no problems at all.
I've had problems getting C5 sites to run on GoDaddy as well...I'm pretty sure pretty URL's is impossible to do on GoDaddy. They're good for domain registration but not for hosting.

I think i might give host gator a shot. Few people have told me they're pretty good and if you're happy it works with C5 it might be the way to go :)

Thanks bry
I'm sure the C5 hosting will be good it's just i tend to host more than one site and like to have a few more databases for my bucks as i use different CMSs for diff projects. Greedy :/
But thanks for the tip...time to retire godaddy i think!

I've used Host Gator a couple of times as well. It seemed slow to me on one site, but the other site I had it running on seemed normal.
Well i just signed up to gator host and what do ya know, mod_rewrite worked instantly with pretty urls.
Beginning to rue the day i signed up to godaddy already. To think i spent about four hours trying to get pretty urls working on godaddy!
Although i have just received some strange verification email from gator host but it's a small price to pay!

The sites on HostGator, are they on a SHARED or DEDICATED server? thx!
I am running my site on shared but be warned! Hostgator's shared plan is terrible. It can take up to 10 seconds for my site to begin to load at peak server times. So if you're considering using shared, quite simply, don't!
I am on the hunt for a decent shared plan now :/

actually, i have a client using godaddy hosting and C5 urls work fine with his site. however, i do hate their interface and general wackiness.
My company is with Media Temple for the most part and their Dedicated Virtual hosting is fine. Stay away from their general shared (GS) hosting though. We've experienced poor uptime and low level cross site hacking on it.

I have used Media Temple's grid-service (gs) for a couple of sites and have experienced sloooow load times. Slow enough that I'm looking for a different host.
Currently working on a site where we will likely host directly with c5 and see how that goes.

Mine are on shared reseller hosting on HostGator.
I agree on Media Temples grid. Their DV is great though but it is $50 a month. I currently use Bluehost and its cheap and haven't had any issues with them at all. There is even a one click install for c5 in their scripts. Only bad thing about Bluehost is that they limit you on files. So if you plan on hosting a ton of sites with a ton of files then you will need to purchase a few accounts.
The grid is a crap shoot. My performance on the grid was abysmal but then it jumped up to acceptable at one point. I think portions of the grid are good and portions are not. Regardless, I cancelled with them.
I just wanted to add my 2 cents...we use Media Temple and the only way to go with them is with (DV) dedicated virtual. We started on (GS) gird service and that was a mistake. (DV) is a solid product and their support is fantastic!!
I like the idea of the benefits of a dv or vps but have no server management experience. Does that mean I shouldn't go the dv or vps route? Be kind :-)
Yes. You do need some knowledge of server management but their knowledge base is pretty thorough. The (mt) support can help you out if you get stuck. I personally have very little knowledge and leave it up to a co-worker, but in a pinch I can set up a site on the server.
i have just sigend up to my first vps plan and as long as it's a managed vps you will be fine. I just joined eukhosting on their linux vps after having a terrible time on godaddy and gatorhost shared plans. Finding this one pretty good so far and their support pretty much handles everythnig i can't do on the server...which is most of it!

I know you think the C5 hosting is expensive but the C5 guys keep it up to date very well and always keep the latest C5 install on it from what I know. I'm pretty sure there support will be great if you go with them as well.
