Should I Go with GoDaddy 4GH or InMotion hosting for a CPU consuming website?

[x]

Im buying a hosting for my facebook apps that would potentially consume somewhat high cpu load,
which hosting is better for me?
thanks

You'll probably have to go with a company that offers dedicated hosting if your apps are resource hogs. But the answer to your question is to go with whichever one offers the services you need for your apps to work. You'll need to call them, explain what you project your needs to be, and see what they have to offer.

I would not use godaddy for this. Nor would I use inmotion. They spam yahoo answers all the time. I would go with hostgator.com. They also offer vps - this might be another option for you to consider.

Hi X,

My name is Brad and I work for InMotion Hosting.

I think Gardner is on the right track on choosing which host best suites your needs. Which host to choose is not always going to be the same for each person, because everyone has different requirements. If your Facebook app turns out to be intensive on the server, keep in mind that we do offer VPS and Dedicated hosting as well, so you can upgrade at any time if needed.

Some people find that calling the support team and asking a few questions before they sign up is helpful in choosing a host. For example, call InMotion Hosting / Godaddy / and a few other companies. Keep track of how long the hold time is on the phone, how friendly / professional they were, and what kind of technical info they provide.

@elizabethramer I take offese to your spam comment! I hope it doesn't seem that InMotion Hosting is "spamming" yahoo answers. We're in the hosting industry, and as such, when hosting related questions are asked we chime in where we can. We have lots of online documentation, and when we think it will be useful, we offer a link to users. I actually manage the team that posts a lot in Yahoo answers, so if you see anything that looks very spammy, please let me know and I'm happy to review the question and answer.

Thanks,
-Brad

High CPU load is not recommended for shared hosting services. I would also agree with Gardner that a dedicated server would be more suitable for you. If money is tight a virtual server could also work. If you are unsure of how to set a server up you might also want to consider getting an assisted or managed server. They come with a setup service that gets the ball rolling for you. Hope this helps.
