What is the difference between a web host like Joyent and a basic hosting company like GoDaddy?

Posted on Nov 18, 2009 under GoDaddy.com | 3 Comments

I’m trying to figure out which company to use for hosting the database that will be required for my small business. The business helps clients crunch certain information using a database (likely written in php).

I was referred to Joyent and it looks like a solid cloud host, but I’m also familiar with GoDaddy and they are much cheaper. Are they in the same ballpark in terms of what they can offer?

  1. I haven’t tried Joyent but I’d stay away from godaddy.
    Personally I have found IX to be the best of the lot.

  2. Hey, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
