Long time ago i was looking for a .COM, .NET, .ORG, etc. domain name registrar.
I’ve tried Godaddy, Namecheap, etc. and finally Omnis.
This Omnis review is related only with their domain names services and not with hosting.

The order process:
This is what i like more in Omnis, i can signup for a new domain extremely fast only with 2-3 clicks.
They do not try to offer you more services like hosting, secure whois, etc.
I can choose and order my domain name in about 2 minutes (!) without spending a lot of time reading extra options (like Godaddy).
One bad thing about Omnis is the time they need in order to update the DNS for the new registered domain names.
It is about 4-5 hours for the new domains, a bit more that other firms but that’s it, i can’t have it all.

I have been with server matrix for about 8 months and this is a short Servermatrix review.

Pre-sales Servermatrix:
I was looking for a self managed P4 low-end dedicated server for one of my clients and i thought to give a try with servermatrix. Since then most of my servers was leased from LT and i would like to try another provider too.
So i’ve sent my pre-sales questions at their support and i got an answer fast enough.
The email was received in about 40-50 minutes and their staff explained to me everything i would like to know.
I’ve made the online payment and after 1,5 days my server was online.
Setup was ok, speed fine, the hardware seems ok, cpanel installed correct.
I believe that 30-35 hours for a Servermatrix dedicated server is a fair time period to wait.

PowerVPS.com Review

I’ve just signed up with PowerVPS.com for a VPS account, so i do not have how to offer a full review for them.
Sales support and 1 ticket so far was answered extremely fast.

It looks like that they do not oversell and the XEON 3.06 which i am in had no problems with high loads.

The Network seems excellent also.
I’m located in europe and i reach the server with only 8-10 hops.
Highly recommended company if you are located in Europe !

With some other providers that i have servers with i need over 15-20 hops to reach my server.

So far so good with PowerVPS.com .

Web Hosting Review - Softlayer
Another review that i have found in WHT - This one is sended by: maxbear.

Here is the quote.

I ordered a dualcore 3.0 server from softlayer last Friday. I use this server maily for video encoding, no web site run on this server. Here is my little review:

1. Setup time: After some verification (they need to verify you by phone), I got my server online within 1-2 hours. It’s real fast, much faster then the others. A+

2. Hardware quality: Since I use this server as video encoding, I can tell you their hardware is really good, without any problem. All the things just config well, no problem for hardware, cpu….. A+

I’ve found a nice review about JodoHost in WHT and i would like to share it here.

This is the msg:
JodoHost 1 YR Review

I’ve had a reseller account at JodoHost for about 1 year now. Here is how things are going … for anyone who is interested.

First, let me say that I am a very small web designer and I use the reseller account only for my own web design clients. I have no one who has just purchased hosting from me and does their own website design. I have about 60 clients … so it’s a very small operation. I am still a novice when it comes to the control panel and all the options … most of my clients want straight HTML and email, period. I researched reseller accounts for about 8 months before choosing JodoHost. Read the rest of this entry »

A new problem has appeared over the past few months for all the web hosting companies world wide.
Yahoo email and their filtering - Bulk folder - system !

As many of you know allready, yahoo is filtering emails in order to protect the users from receiving spam.
The problem is that filtering many times has no sense at all !
“Good” Email is blacklisted with no reason, just because their system (Yahoo’s) is not perfect.
It is almost impossible for them to filter only the “bad” emails and for this reason they have placed a button for letting us marking as “Not spam” all the good emails that we receive !
Who checks the bulk folder ? ! This looks like a joke to me.

Serverwizards Reviews - www.serverwizards.com

Also found in WHT a good review about Serverwizards:

You see a lot of companies getting slammed on this forum, but I’d like to post a good review of a company that I am very satisfied with.. ServerWizards. I have a managed dedicated server with them, and they have been fantastic so far.

A little background - I have a reseller hosting company that I decided to move to a dedicated server. I had initially selected a different provider for my server, and contacted ServerWizards for server management. They ended up offering me a great deal on a server, and I took it (server + management).

A new web hosting review that i found recently in WHT about “The New York NOC” .
Posted by THill.
—-

It all started back in October when we got the bid to host the World University Karate Championships here in New York. We were quite unsure of who to choose but needed something extremely reliable since over 180 countries would be accessing our website. Myself as well as the other staff at our school have known the owners of The New York NOC for years. Although at the time we did not know they operated a company like this until we asked if they knew anyone who could help. They are very respectful people and know what they are doing when it comes to servers/networking. Let me elaborate.

Resellerzoom - Reseller review.

About 3-4 months ago i was looking for a cheap reseller plan to host a few small sites of mine.
Those site are not profitable and i had no problems at all to choose one of the cheapest plans i could found these days. I’ve seen some good reviews about Resellerzoom.com and i decided to buy hosting from them.
The price was about 5$/month for their budget plan.

I was sure that i will have problems with them all day long ! How is possible to receive decent services for this price ?
Though, after 3 months with them i had almost 0 downtime and 0 problems (only a small issue related with Fantastico software).
Their support is fast enough and the server’s speed good enough for my needs.

If you are looking for a budget reseller hosting provider i believe that Resellerzoom.com should be in your plans.
Cheap and good enough services !
I keep there 3-4 small sites and had 0 problems untill now.

My overall ratings for Resellerzoom: 8/10 (excellent prices!).
