Good hosting service, I recommend
Starhost has a great CPanel Dashboard to control everything in your account, from domains to billing to MySQL. They have one-click installs of several apps like Wordpress and Joomla. However, I love the dashboard so much that I'm willing to try installing things myself if needed. The Cpanel dashboard is better by far than Technobd, Arfi tech.
They have become more transparent in the last year or so. They have a sent me emails for status or any emergency messages, and the ability to see your server's status on your dashboard. I have never had a problem with up-time, but my sites are low-traffic. Within 2 years of use I only had 1 major downtime; they email me for the occurrence and took steps so that in future it wont happen again. Now they use mirroring so no more downtime again.
I contacted support this summer regarding a couple of Wordpress web sites which suddenly threw errors. It turned out to be a bad DB host name (I deleted it), and support even fixed it for me, even though they could have easily tossed it back to me and said "You can fix this in your CPanel dashboard" and been right to do so. You can submit support tickets easily right from the dashboard, and choose the level of severity of your issue.
When I first started with Starhost, there was some lag on my Wordpress sites when submitting posts or loading pages. This has gotten better as time goes on. Like I said, my sites are low-traffic and not e-commerce, so I'm not too concerned.
I ran into some issues a couple of years ago using PHP. They don't let you simply reference 'localhost' in some cases "for security," so I had to figure out how to use cURL. The support wiki was rather frustrating to nagivate and find info. I never contacted support for help because they say right up front that they don't troubleshoot the stuff you install or code on your sites. Makes sense to me, so I trolled PHP forums to find my answers.
It would take a great package -- and good Cpanel dashboard -- to make me leave Starhost. My plan has unlimited domains, subdomains, email, and MySQL databases.
