    Web hosting

    As the title states, im looking for a web hosting company. I haven't used a company in almost 10 years and don't know any reputable sites or normal prices for packages. Also is there any good companies to go through for domain names?

    Thanks in advance.

    Need you to tell us what you plan to do, size of site/traffic/purpose of site, etc.

    Thanks... lol. I haven't had my coffee today. It's just gonna be a personal website that's designed for hosting my photography for fun. I don't really have a clue on how much traffic I will get

    I had a look, so if you want to support BG:

    The "All Inclusive Package" will be all you'll ever need until otherwise decided.

    I've was using http://www.justhost.com/ for about 3 years. Decent price, helpful support, free domain, unlimited MySQL Databases. It's time for me to renew, and I'm just doing some research before I make the jump. It will be hard to match/beat Justhost though. For a personal/small business site with moderate traffic, it should be more than adequate.

    Check out the "secret link" at the bottom of the page for a better price.

    Justhost and fatcow have outstanding support. The only thing is that they are too pricey now. Goodaddy is the cheapest but decent support.

    I host at downtownhost. Pretty standard stuff and the support is very good. Had some minor problems and sent in support tickets a few times and they fix it within an hour generally. They even upgraded my package when my server went down for two days. Very happy with them overall.

    I had a site with Logjamming for years, if I had an issue, it was resolved quickly and they would answer questions quickly. Would go with them again.

    And this was the first time that I have ever seen a banner at the bottom of the forums. It has always puzzled me to see "BG is hosted by" with nothing below it. I guess the banner is normally eaten by NoScript and AdBlock.

    I always would think the same thing when I saw the bottom of the page. I just disabled it to have a look and wow, the sites completely different.

    I use webhostingbuzz.com for 5 years already. Absolutely no problems and their support is awesome. I even won an Ipod touch in a contest they had once. Awesome people. I spend maybe 130$ every 2 years.
