Burton Hosting: Last Man Standing

If you are looking for a web hosting company that will stand the heat, then Burton Hosting is the host to be. This small Scarborough company was recently the winner of a server load test. The test was done to 9 different hosting companies, then adding the similar homepage to all of them and loaded them into iframe to a single point of entry, web2.0effect.org.

When anyone from digg, reddit or any other social networking sites visits the link, they will actually load all the 9 different pages in the 9 different hosts. With over 2000 hits, this experiment seems to have a clear result on why Burton Hosting is the host to be. It had only 4 timeouts (comparing to approximately 2000 by AnHosting and MidPhase)!

Believing in providing an efficient service at budget prices, Burton Hosting’s plans are as affordable as your regular soda beverages. Their Personal plan is only $6.95/month and it comes with PHP5, MySQL, control panel, 10GB Web space, 100GB Bandwidth, 100 Email accounts and 100 Subdomains. It’s everything you need in a hosting plan.
