Well, since I have been hosting this site off of x10 for a little while, since around December, I might as well give them a review.
x10Hosting I've found is a very good host to have to have signed up for. At first, I was a little worried about me having to either have forced ads on my site or having to get hits on my site from non-bots, but x10 by only having me log into their forum at least every two weeks, though I'm on it like every hour, and plus the fact that they gave me the ability to give me an ad-free account, I didn't regret taking this site off of the home server. x10 is also great because they give every one of their users cPanel, and they also allow things based on the package you've selected. For me, I can use 10GB of bandwidth a month, 300MB disk space, put in I think 3 MySQL databases, and more. x10 has some fast servers as well, and I've never seen a time where my site got super slow, or where the site was having some slow downloads or anything, despite having possibly thousands of accounts on my server at once. For those who require it, x10 allows Cron jobs that you can set up yourself via cPanel. No shell access though, but that's not a problem, as for my PHP scripts such as SMF, all I have to do is tell it not to use shell by either using some settings in the ACP or erasing a line from the code.
x10Hosting also has a nice community as well. Always busy, always something to talk about. Their community is also their tech support forum as well, and whenever you ask for tech support there, within minutes to even up to an hour even at times when the staff isn't on, you'll get your answer, and based on looking around the support forum, I've found that usually within 2 to 3 posts, the problem is fixed. In the community based on how much you contribute to the community, you get credits which can be used for things such as free domain names and PayPal payouts. Also, did I forget to mention that x10 has their own radio station, link exchange site, gaming site and file hosting site as well?
x10 did have some server problems around December, which made me consider getting a new host, but they did keep me well informed about the server problem, and they got the service working all nice and new again. Since then, I couldn't be happier. But also, x10 does keep everything from Apache to PHP (including MySQL0 updated to the latest version, so there will be no problems with anything you try to run,
Thank you x10!
