I've been using Godaddy, and their performance is slow. Even their home page takes 3 minutes to appear when Google is at 2 seconds.<p>(By watching his video blogs, it appears that the CEO has been putting more effort in figuring out whether the new Godaddy girl should be Eliot Spitzer's former hooker or Danica Patrick.)<p>Does anyone have other apps hosting companies to recommend for bootstrappers?
I'm not sure what problems you are having with Godaddy. You did not mention which hosting plan you have with them. There is probably a good reason for the poor performance and you should understand those reasons before assuming that another provider will fix your problems.<p>Generally you should probably avoid most shared hosting for business applications because you are at the mercy of bad neighbors.<p>You are also probably better off using your hosting budget to go for a similar priced VPS rather than a low end dedicated server (assuming lower end of budget scale.) In other words, $80 per month will get you a horrible dedicated server or a pretty good VPS.<p>BTW, I also use Slicehost.
Slicehost is great when you're starting small. The way the hosting plans work out -- you never get an oversold server. Seems more expensive than cheapie VPS providers, but will prove to be worth it over time.
