Web hosting service with the best "web based" controls

Goody · 08-10-2009, 04:01 PM

I used to have Pow web, and it was pretty good. At first there wasn't much "extra" stuff you could do from the web based control center with your web space. But over time they added all kinds of stuff like being able to set up a message board with a few clicks...chat room apps...etc.

I have a lot of free time at work, but no admin rights to the work computers so being able to do many things with the webspace through web based controls would be a good thing.

Anyone have a host they could recommend?

Of course, lots of memory space for a decent price is a must as well.

contact kamal at mjwebhosting.com

He's served TSW to the max and they offer lots of what you're asking for.

jazzrack has us on hostmonster and it's pretty good I'd say (I like it much better than when I used to use Powweb which was admittedly years ago). I'm not sure all what exactly you're looking for when it comes to web-based apps however. It has phpmyadmin which I sometimes use and it seems to have a pretty good system for setting up accounts, but other than that I don't use many of its features. I suppose I could give you some screenshots of its cpanel (I'd black out the private info) or its simple scripts page which lists a few forums (including phpbb, which is what we use manually, and SMF), chat scripts (WebSiteAlive, phpFreeChat), and several other scripts (including Wordpress, Joomla, SohoLaunch, etc), if you'd like. Personally, I think I'd rather install a forum manually (I also greatly prefer to transfer files via FTP than via some web-based app), but if you like web-based apps then yeah, it has quite a few.

Thanks guys.

Seems my work has most webhosts blocked. Odd. Guess that is because the support large file transfers.

I use godaddy and it rocks and its cheap, and there's thousands of apps to one click install. thecbu.com uses it, and loves it!
