Hi everyone:

In the last week, I've run into some problems with website uptime. I'm currently using 1and1 to host Beat The GMAT, but I'm starting to think it may be necessary to move to something that is bigger and better in order to keep this website running properly.

Does anyone have any suggestions for good webhosting? Something cheap would be nice...

Thanks!

Eric,

I'm a web designer, and the clients I work with swear by GoDaddy. I don't think it's exactly "economical" but in terms of uptime and analysis information- it's brilliant.

I think they have some sort of trial offer- not sure. You could find out and decide.

(PS: 1&1 has some shady advertising too- I think their servers are holed up in some not nice places)

Thanks for the tip, wildrebel! I just purchased new hosting with GoDaddy.com, and I got (what I think to be) a great rate: $143.17 for 24 months, with a lot more features/space as well as a 99.9% service uptime guarantee.

I'll be transitioning to this new server over the next 3 months...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
