I know there are a million of them. I'd like to know which hosting service you have great success with hosting your SCCPro web site with. I'm looking for good integration and good customer service rather than free price. I will be using paypal for payments and nothing else special.

Hi William. I have been using Bluehost for 8 months now and all has been well. I've only ask for tech support ounce and they quickly responded back with a solution that solved the problem. The problem was caused by a forum software that I was using and not any of CC's software nor anything Bluehost had done. I wouldn't recommend GoDaddy as the number of users on this forum that have them as a host and asking for help speaks for its self. Just my 5 cents. Inflation you know.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hi William;
I've used lots of web hosts over the years. The big issue with most of them is available bandwidth. Seems like many of them start out okay but then become over crowded and web pages start loading extremely slow.
I'm currently using Host Gator. I moved to them when I was using Zen shopping cart. I've been with them for 3-4 months now and Iike them. Good page loading times, good customer support and good reliability.
Sometimes you just have to try a few out to see what works well for you.

S-Drive is a great option as well! Hosted by the folks here, maintained and serviced by the folks here, and of course they have a good understanding of Coffee Cup implementations (and they're priced competitively as well).:D

I used Bluehost.com for 4 years FANTASTIC SERVICE

I also use Justhost.com, 1/2 price of Bluehost, support a little slower to respond, but great value for money.

However if all you want is one website / shopping cart, I would recommend, CC stream hosting, which as said before, best support you can get anywhere

William...this must seem a biased response, but I have tried to host my store on a couple of other servers, and have come to the conclusion that hosting a store created with SCC Pro on the CoffeeCup S-Drive really is a very sensible option. I see that they are pretty competitive and have found through personal experience that uploading my store to the S-Drive is a real doddle (aka easy) and has the added advantage of being hosted by the same folks that build the software. They obviously take it upon themselves to make sure that there is smooth running between the two so you will never have to struggle to get backup from a server that doesn't know the software...or the software engineers who are not intimately acquainted with the server!
:cool::)

Exactly. You can buy software that may or may not work on all hosting, or you can host on CoffeeCup servers. It sounds like the Pro option to me.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

GoDaddy is fine if you aren't adding any scripts or software.
I have since switched to HostGator and have had absolutely no problems with scripts or software. Actually no problems whatsoever since switching to HostGator.

For small businesses that need room to grow, Yahoo! Web Hosting is good at giving you as much room as you need and there's no complicated options to sort though when starting your plan and getting your domain (there's pretty much unlimited bandwidth, disk space, etc. just as long as it's not a file hosting service you're running). I've never used customer support, so don't know how bad/good it is.

S-Drive is the way to go if you just need simple website(s) and a shop - you know you will always get great support and their products will always work with the system. It has been great for what limited use I've had it for.

I just moved over to Inmotionhosting.com. So far, they have been fantastic to work with, and very helpful. Site is fast! I had been with register.com for many years. They became burdensome, slow and very expensive. Plus, each contact was seen by them as a new sales opportunity. Nothing like that with Inmotionhosting.com

FYI
