Best Host?

[Sneakyheathen]

I've decided I'm not going to renew my Bluehost hosting as the entire thing has been getting more and more downtime and it's increasingly irritating to work with.

Any suggestions for a new host? Preferably a cost-effective one.

I'd go with HostGator if I were you; I ran this site with no downtime ever on a basic plan. Then I also went to dedicated server.

I am on a shared server at Host Gator and haven't ever had a problem. Their online customer support is superb. I would recommend checking out HostGator.

WWW.nearlyfreespeach.net.

You can't beat them, because they do straight up pricing. For every mb of storage you use, it costs you $0.01 a month. For ever 10 mb of transfer, it'll cost you another $0.01. For running a SQL database, it'll cost you $0.01 a day.

Sure, you aren't getting the promises of 200 gigs of transfer of month for $5, but realistically, they make their money off of overcharging on package deals like that. I get moderate traffic. Between the 3 sites I'm currently running, I get a couple hundred hits a day. My old plan was charging me $6 a month for that, and I had noticable downtime; about once a week it was down for an hour or two. With nearlyfreespeach.net, I've had a grand total of 20 minutes of, not even downtime, time when it took about 5 seconds to load, in the month I've been with them. In addition to that, its cost me.... $1.18 in that month.

HostGator is where it is at right now. I have all my domains (about 20) hosted there with NO downtime and excellent customer service.

How about NearlyFreeSpeech? I've heard it's quite convenient.

[Sneakyheathen]

Can you host multiple sites on NearlyFreeSpeech?

Like, I have four domain names.

Otherwise I would checkout Web Hosting Reviews & Rating - Best Web Hosting 2008 for more information on the top hosts. There are reviews and I think it's set up pretty well to help you decide on a host.

I like godaddy, their good and seem to keep up.

Not to mention, their 24/7 customer service is amazing, If you ever call them and have a problem they can get it done in about 5 minutes, and no BS either...at least this has been from my experience.
