Web Hosting

A very common question around here.

I use and recommend Dreamhost. A bit of Google Magic and you should be able to come up with a discount code for Dreamhost ... just make sure you get the full $97.

I also have stuff with Hostgator. They're pretty good as well.

If people are willing to pay a premium, I've heard great things about MediaTemple. Their basic package is $20 a month.

Personally I use Dreamhost (aff), which offers great value for the money ($9.95 in my case).

I host at ServInt Internet Services - Managed Dedicated Server & VPS Provider with both a solo at $299.00 per month and a deuce at $149.00 per month. I host a number of my own sites and a few for friends and a charity which I support.

They are not cheap but the service is extremely reliable and I have never had a problem which customer service was unable to solve very quickly.

Personally,
I use Media Temple -
They also offer FREE 1 click installs for:
Drupal - a CMS
Wordpress -
Zencart -
and many other great features...

I provide hosting via HostingForAQuid. It's inexpensive hosting ideal for first-time to intermediate users, with a nice control panel and one-click installers for a whole bunch of things, including WordPress, GeekLog, Joomla and lots more.
I like to think my prices are fair and reasonable, I use my own services myself for all of my own websites and client sites, and I'd stake my forum reputation on these claims.
(users in the US - yes, we will sell you hosting, and PayPal will sort out the exchange rate - it's still pretty cheap, even when converted to US dollars)

Enter "PAVLINA" in the Discount Code box for a 10% discount.

Have been hosting since 1997. See carnatic.com > Karmasaya > Web Hosting

I use Hostway for a couple of my sites (I used them in the past too).

[dcaldwell]

I've found Pair Networks (pair.com) in New Jersey to be extremely reliable and up-to-date with all the usual features. Ace-of-Space (aceofspace.com) in Vancouver is also quite good.

If money is an issue, check out YRHost - Web Hosting, Turnkey Reseller Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Managed Services

I hosted websites with them in the past and never had an issue with them

I use StayHosted for my blog, Desinomics. For the price, under $25 bucks a year, they can't be beat. I really like their support, and there's plenty of room for me to upgrade if my blog ever hits off. I have the basic plan, with 500 megs of space and 5 gigs of transfer.

[Causalien]

I use ICDsoft
5.95 a month I believe with 20gig of traffic. per month.

[Kristoffer]

I am using BLUEHOST.COM Works fine and they have a a nice control panel that you log in to and operate your site.

I chose it because they have a "one click auto install" for Wordpress, that is the blogging tool I am using.

[TheBull]

I have all of my sites (6 or so) with site5.com. They have very competitive pricing, cpanel, etc. as well as a unique feature called 'flashback' which is a backup system a lot like windows' restore feature.

[andrew]

I use (mt) as well. I could be using free hosting, but I'm planing on partnering with them at some point in the future.

They have great service and are the industry standard.

[Chrome]

I am also using bluehost.com and have been very happy so far. The control panel is very user friendly and I have not experienced any down-time.

[fbmfor]

I also use Dreamhost and I'm quit happy with it.

[Milo Riano]

1&1 Internet Inc. - Web Hosting Services and Domain Name Registration, you could do a side by side comparison with other web hosts and you will find them offering more. I have been happy with their offerings...

[Lucas]

I use www.godaddy.com because the prices are cheap, 3.99 a month for 5gig of space and 250gig of transfer, and when you sign up for hosting you can register an unlimited number of domains for a year for 1.99, they also have some decent one click installs, including wordpress.

I'm not an "easy mark" when it comes to web hosting. Until a couple of years ago I had been with the same small Salt Lake City based company for five years or more--pretty much since there *was* a web they had hosted my sites. Anyway, they got out of the business unannounced and just pulled the plug on my site.

In the past couple of years I had tried at least a half dozen web hosting companies and hadn't been happy with any of them for one reason or another. Then a friend recommended Dreamhost......it got off to a rocky start when there was some problem about setting up my domain properly. But their customer service in dealing with it was beyond amazing--they actually *took responsibility* for the problem, fixed it in a matter of hours and gave me four months of free hosting for my trouble.

Since then Dreamhost has continued to exceed my expectations on a daily basis. They're very reasonably priced but they could triple their prices and I'd stay with them with out question because they're just so good....

Having to switch webhosts is a pain, and I'm glad there's one less thing to worry about on a daily basis. Not that there aren't other good hosting outfits but I haven't personally dealt with any that are even close to Dreamhost...

Add another point dreamhost. I love those guys. I use them for all my hosting. I have tried a few different ones, but then i stumbled on dreamhost's site and have been a very happy customer ever since. Their people really know their stuff, great service, great features, great communication, and aweseome newsletters. Their newletters are funny and informative. I could not be happier with them.

Hi,
I am using a webhosting on my own server. If you think about a really large web project, I can strongly recommend Layered Technologies (Layered Technologies). They are very kind and have the best server hosting performance/price offers that I have ever found.

[AndrewJ]

I'm using Globat and Thirdsphere and I'm happy with both.I've got some reviews on my blog at Web Hosting Diary
