I recently put out a similar call on my blog and the clear winner was Verve Hosting. Several people recommended them. I just switched and so far am very pleased. |

Yes, I can second Dreamhost as a great hosting site. I've been with them for a couple of years, and service is excellent. The web admin is easy to use, and you get a lot of stuff for a little $. Full cgi, mysql, webmail, pop, spam filtering, more space than I need, etc., etc.. I've noticed that their servers are well-stocked with libraries (for php, perl and such) so pretty much anything you'd want to run there will. |

Best support I've ever gotten is from Tigertech.net, local operation, $4.95 for a small website like 20 MB. Great people.
For the larger stuff we do (like MagazineArt.org and TravelHistory.org) we now use hummingbirdhosting.com, which is run by a couple of Aussies but apparently located physically in Houston. $10/month for 1GB storage, 15 GB bandwidth. 5 domains, if that is important. I don't know about their support; haven't had any problems and so haven't had to ask.
I can tell you lots of places to stay away from. One of them, FeaturePrice.com, is worthy of Greek tragedy, according to the info I've read on YourHostSucks.com.

he.net. They have been around for a long time, and have a great customer support *back-end*. They are not the cheapest.

Hi... I really like dailyrotation.com and trust them... they've been running this ad for years. and I think they use projectgeek.net too It has some great features, like your own shell account, full support for your php etc. (I think) anyway, give them a look... PROJECT GEEK.... Shell City's full featured web hosting service.... $10/month'll get you 100 megs of disk and 20 gigs of transfer. $25/month'll get you 500 megs of disk and 50 gigs of transfer.....GO THERE! http://www.projectgeek.net/sincerely, a boing boing reader too |

I see you've already decided, but I've been happy with http://www.webhost4life.com/. The price is good, and the support has always gotten back to me promptly. Wish I could call them instead of just sending email, but that's a minor inconvenience. If anyone looks at the site and decides they want to sign up, let me know: I can get a referral bonus. :-) gNfOiStPzAgMer@nyx.net |

http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/They charge $1 per GB download, and 1cent per megabyte per month storage. SSH access, perl, php, etc. MySQL database. No monthly fee. Nice feature for amateurs is you pay upfront. Lodge $20 (or whatever) to your account by credit card, and then it gets run down as people download from your site I've found the responsiveness of the staff (by email and forums) pretty good too.

Hello everyone - I'm new to this world. I have just come out of the closet ... I was a closet tech & web girl. And I wanted to know if anyone can help me. I'm a creative writer/journalist and want to create my own site for my newsletter on politics, life, love, sex, work, etc.... But, I wanted to create a "dialogue" of sorts by having a bulletin board or a forum where people can participate. I am overwhelmed with web hosts and could use any advice.
Thank you for your time ... and happy holidays!
Peace,
Chris
