The reason I think why most people would transfer their domain to another webhost is usually one of the reasons below:
1. Unable to support high traffic website
2. Bad service
3. Found a cheaper webhost
4. Unreliable and high downtime
As you can see, if the current webhost has very little problems and lives up to the customer expectation, the customer would continue hosting their domain at the webhost. From October 2005 up till today May 2007, I’ve transferred my domain Raymond.CC to 3 web hosting company. Here’s my reason why I transferred to 3 different webhosting company in less than 2 years and also review on them.
October 2005 – January 2006 : Hosted on CPHosting Reseller Account
I got to know about CPHosting through my cousin. He had a .com domain and I found CPHosting by doing a whois on that my cousin’s domain. That time I had a few websites and it’s all hosted on Webserver.com.my. So I thought that maybe getting a reseller account benefits me more as I can assign the amount of web space and also bandwidth for websites that are not busy. When the hosting period is up, I decided not to continue because it was quite expensive. Then I found Integricity.
January 2006 – June 2006 : Hosted on Integricity Shared Hosting
I went back to shared hosting on Integricity because they offer very cheap 2GB web space and UNLIMITED bandwidth. After hosting my domain for 6 months and the server could no longer take the load and causing the server to crash because my website is growing rapidly. Integricity introduced me a dedicated server which I couldn’t afford to have. So I had to look for a new webhost within a very short time. By the way, the “UNLIMITED” bandwidth was changed to 20GB to prevent abuse.
June 2006 – May 2007(Current) : Hosted on WebHostingBuzz Reseller Account
I’ve hosted Raymond.CC the longest in this current webhost WebHostingBuzz. I am very satisfied with this WebHost and never had any problems or even intentions in looking for a new webhost. Founded in 2002 by current CEO, Safvan Malik, WebHostingBuzz began life as a simple reseller account. The very first day was highly successful, and each subsequent day has been a success story for WebHostingBuzz too. WebHostingBuzz now provide services to almost 10,000 clients and have in excess of 100 servers facilitating this. They have staff from 3 different continents and have clients from almost every country in the world.
They have very good packages, from budget as cheap as $3 a month to powerful dedicated servers at $319 a month. They’ll even register and maintain your domain name for as long as your account is active with WebHostingBuzz, at no extra charge to yourself. Meaning, FREE DOMAIN for life if you host your website on their server. I believe whatever package you’re looking for, it’s there!
WebHostingBuzz also listens to customer’s opinion. When I hosted Raymond.CC in WebHostingBuzz, they only had Email Ticket Support System. I find this support system very slow and troublesome. Sometimes we need a support guy to attend to our problems immediately but there were no such system. Now, they have LiveChat sales and support that’s 24/7 online and even telephone support. WebHostingBuzz Toll Free is 888.WHB.BUZZ (942.2899) 9am-5pm EDT Mon-Fri. and for International: 1.866.239.3064.
Some webhost company just exist and continue with what they’re doing. As for WebHostingBuzz, they always go a step further. They now also have Client Community Forum where we can talk amongst WebHostingBuzz clients. This proves that WebHostingBuzz has got nothing to hide and allow customers to interact with each other.
As for WebHostingBuzz server uptimes, I never once encounter any downtime on Raymond.CC. WebHostingBuzz claims that Budget and Reseller package has 99.5% uptime and Ultimate package has 99.99% uptime. I read their company blog every month and most uptime figures are 100%. Here’s something you should know about the term “uptime“. Server uptime often refers only to a server being powered on and doesn’t account for network downtime.
One last thing I like about WebHostingBuzz is that they are partners with International Tree Foundation. As all of us know, our world is facing with global climate change issue. They’ve invested in a number of tree plantation projects at present to help offset the carbon emissions produced when generating the electricity to power their servers and they will continue to invest over the course of the next 5 years. It shows that WebHostingBuzz CARES!
There is NO perfect webhost but WebHostingBuzz’re damn close. I definitely recommend WebHostingBuzz to everyone.

There are useful computer tips and tricks yesterday.. Don’t know why you said there are “none” in the last few days. You must know that I try my best everyday and also not charging you a single cent to read what I write. So be thankful instead of complaining.
Yeah, this seems like an advetisement…. I expected “Daily updated news of useful advanced computer tips and tricks…” from this blog… In last few days there are none.
your current web-hosting reseller must have given you free hosting package with the condition that you must write good comments to promote their service. :-)
