    ukhost4u.com are pretty good i was with there cheap home hosting when they had it but that has sadly gone.

    They have a package for 30 or 40 quid a year that has 1 or 1.5gb of space and 15gb transfer unlimited subdomains and dtabases and free domain last time i checked you can choose between windows or linux hosting with php and asp on the windows box (I think)

    I had slight bit of down time but that was with the lowcosthost part of them soon as i moved to ukhost4u i have had no down time.

    After reading all this, I guess I'm not going to switch to a different hosting provider.
    I found this thread because my site went down yesterday so I thought I'd look around. The more I looked the more I liked what I had.....
    As someone else stated, godaddy is not good, I was there for a year and didn't like it. You have little control and it's slow.
    I've been with http://navigatoris.net/ for 3 years and they've only been down 2 times, once for a HDD failure (they were on it within minutes and were back up very fast) and yesterday from a DDOS attack. 2 times in 3 years is great in my opinion (that's better than 99.9% i think), no host can give 100% up time, stuff happens.
    They have cpanel with fantastico and unlimited addon domains, subdomains, parked domains, email accounts, email forwards, MySQL databases, auto responders (email), mailing lists, email filters and FTP accounts.
    There prices are not the cheapest, but close. There new prices includes 300megs space 6gigs bandwidth for $3.99 a month. I have a special package because they bought out my old host and promised to keep my prices the same, not gonna say, but cheap.
    If you want to see there speed (please don't kill my bandwidth) you can d/l a vids here just to test http://oahu4u.com/_pix&vids/surf.shtml, please just download one. I'm not associated with them in any other way than just a customer, I live in Hawaii and I think there in NJ.

    I live in the UK and I bought some hosting from Dreamhost who are a US company (thanks for the recommendation Jupac ), I paid via Paypal which converted the currency automatically for me into dollars and sent it on.

    Thumbs up Hosting

    I went with http://www.website.ws/kvmlm2/hosting...r=silvatungfox since they include the domain name, webspace and 10 mailboxes for ten bucks and it is a global hosting deal. Your dot is not com.. it is dot ws, but that does not affect ranking in the search engines.

    I would go to page-zone.com!!! I've been with them for 3 years and I've had no problems with them. There deals are great and prices are cheap!!! They have a good forum where you can get GREAT tips. Page Zone Web Hosting is straightforward, and easy-to-use. They have great support, tutorials, and outstanding tools!!! I'm glad I'm doing business with Page Zone Web Hosting!!!!

    I have had good luck with U.S.-based Globat.com hosting a Canadian (.ca) domain/website.

    Their prices are reasonable for the level of service they provide. PHP, MySQL, a web-based console for database, email and other account settings. Servers run FreeBSD Unix.

    The only downtime I have had was scheduled 2 weeks in advance for server upgrades. The only problem that I have encountered was the loss of server stats for 3 days (which was no problem since I collect stats on each page anyways.)

    Tech support by email is fairly fast and a knowledgable staff make support easy.

    I can't say enough about Globat.

    Exclamation Hosting

    I do actually know of a good hosting outfit, it is a package deal with hosting and your own domain name, etc etc but since I do not want to violate the posting rules anyone interested in the details can contact me directly. Since I sell the package I think it would be wrong to post it here, and I mean to follow the rules.

    I have in the past also used Lycros, Tripod, Freeyellow and a varity of others, and never thought about marketing them, once I found my current host plan I also signed up to market it. The free ones are good if you know how to build your own site, and some even have website builders that are pretty basic.

    Anybody had any dealings with 1and1? They seem to have a good package but I was wondering about their service, etc.

    FirmSolutions.biz

    A friend of mine runs that little hosting company, or he use to be a friend. I've been trying to get in touch with him since january regarding various things, SSI, and now unlocking the registrar so I can move to a different company. Its now the END of August and have yet to hear from him. I've sent email, post mail, called on the telephone, and nothing. I just renewed my domain name through his registrar so i wouldnt lose the domain name, but my hosting with him expires on September 1st and if he doesnt change the domain information with the registrar to my new hosting company, my domain name is worthless. This will probably end up in small claims court if he doesnt give me a resolution I like. So yea, FirmSolutions.biz = BAAAAAAAD

    I need to say, after seeing all the posts here, my host seems to be about the the best, Navigator Solutions
    I like the price at MHER.org EDIT: mher sux, soemone hacked my email and they shut me down without contacting me and deleted all my stuff then later eplained that my script wasn't secure and someone mass mailed through my online feedback form, and Big Wow looked good, their prices are a little better than mine, but I've had 2 times down in 3 years, both times were for about 6 hours and they were on it asap as well as keeping customers informed as they were fixing the problems with email in in their forums. I've also had good customer support. I would like to get the mini reseller but I'm I've always lived by "if it ain't broke don't fix it", so I'm hesitant to change.
