OScommerce host

For the past few days I've been going through online reviews of different hosts and I find it tough to get honest information. Some people HATE their host and yet someone else absolutely LOVES the same host. It seems like every company out there has a stack of dissatisfied and vocal customers.

So, I'm looking for a reliable host for a new store I'm starting. I don't really know traffic or storage stats yet but if I had to guess I think we will be around 50 gigs/month and 2 gigs of space. I'm looking to spend around $50-60 per month.

I want the shopping cart system to be OScommerce.

Can anyone here recommend a reliable host that will fit my needs?

Thanks.

Hello,

We offer an osCommerce installer, and could help you. Our Professional package comes with 2 Gb Webspace & 40 Gb Transfer for $13.50 a month, so I'm confident an extra 10 gigs transfer or so could come comfortably within your budget.

I still recommend posting a request in the Requests section of the forums, where I'm sure you'll be able to select the best package to suit your needs from the hosts who respond.

Hello

You can consider our RC2 package with 2GB space and 60GB transfer. The price will be $25/month. We are running a promotion currently, so if you are signing up now, you will get double space. You can easily install osCommerce through Fantastico

Drop me a message at sales @gate2vn.net if you have any question, or visit our website at www.gate2vn.net

thanks

My web company, bravomultimedia.com, can definitly help you out. We are a small web design company that also offers hosting. We are located in Richmond, VA, and I have done a lot of work with osCommerce, so I know our hosting accounts will provide you that, and we can even help you set it up, configure it, and make sure everything is ready to go for you.

I just joined this site, so I cannot send you a private message yet, and I dont want to post the company phone number of the forums here.

If you want to contact me, please visit our website, http://www.bravomultimedia.com and send me an email through there or fill out our contact form and ill get back with you.

The one thing I can promise you, that the big companys cannot (and believe me, ive dealt almost all of them) is that you with us you will have a direct point of contact, that wont put you through automated systems, make you wait, etc. So you'll have personal attention for any issues that may arise. If you go with a national company, you'll be bounced around between departments, never know who you are talking to, and wont get direct answers on what is being done.

Hope to hear from you!

I appreciate all the responses and I understand the need to sell your products but I was hoping for user recommendations rather than company sales pitches.

EVERYBODY claims 99.99% uptime.
EVERYBODY claims to be the best.
EVERYBODY claims to have great support.

Does anyone on this site have personal experience with a reliable OScommerce webhost that they would like to share?

I think you'll find most of the hosts on here are kiddiehosts. ALso, despite not being a kiddiehost, vitruoso (sp?) has a habit of cussing, banning, and blocking customers who require support on basic issues. See: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=401879&highlight=Virtuoso+Net+Solutions

Providers (mostly for dedicated/colo) I've ahd a good experience with are:
steadfastnetorks
server4sale
servstra (formerly hostworkz)
