Getting some web hosting

I've been thinking about getting a web site again after my 1&1 free hosting ran out last month. So I've done a little research and I've narrowed it down to either moreweb.com or hostpc.com.
I'm planning on hosting a site for my mother-in-law for her catering business, for my wife's book sales business, and as a personal family website. So I'll probably need three domains, but I don't expect much traffic though. I also don't think I'll need more than a couple MB of storage. The price will be split between me and my mother-in-law so it's probably not much of a concern either.

Anyone have any experience with these companies? I think I remember Rossman saying in a previous thread that AT is hosted on moreweb if I'm not mistaken...

hostpc.com:

According to moreweb.com their parent company has hosted AnandTech for the past 5 years, I was just passing on information posted in the ATHD thread (which has been deleted).

I only have personal experience with HostPC.com which was great considering the price. Aside from e-rice.net (which doesn't use DirectAdmin) they're one of the few reputable cheap web hosts.

If you can increase your budget a little I would highly recommend 10for10.com I've been with them for a few months and it's been great. Speed and uptime are always consistent, support is also fast and friendly.
 
If you need any help with any aspect of hosting, contact me and I'll be glad to help out 🙂

Remember, you get what you pay for!

I would not sign up for e-rice.net, it was just an example of a cheap web host.

I was being facetious....in the previous thread you mentioned e-rice, but I took that as a recommendation to look at them when in actuality you meant it to be just an example of a cheap webhost...ah nevermind.
 
Yeah I shouldn't have mentioned e-rice.net, just confused you.

Sorry about that.

10for10 > moreweb > HostPC

If value (you're a cheap ass) is important

HostPC > moreweb > 10for10
 
i can only vouch for moreweb.com, because i have hosting through them. i've been satisfied with their performance and support.

i do with they had an upgrade package from the 50GB bandwidth, though.
