What's a good web host?

Cheap, about $5 a month, and not 1and1. I'm tired of their crappy numerical usernames (there are like 3 different ones!) and restriction on linking to directories.
 
there is a dude here that hooked me up with an email host, he is doing a full web host site for $21/quarter , 40 GB bandwidth/mnth and 1.5GB of space

That would most likely be HyTekJosh of HyTekHosting.com

WinkOsmosis - Cheap as possible would be to register a domain then sign up for RippleHost web hosting for $10/yr which has a current FREE DOUBLE UPGRADE special offering 200MB/4GB instead of the usual 100MB/2GB. You also get a better control panel (cPanel), email, webmail, PHP, etc.

I had them. Hated it. If I went over the space limit and deleted files, it would take weeks for the new number to show and I would get billed. I emailed them to cancel when I got 1and1, but they never cancelled. Now that I have a new debit card, they are emailing me to pay, and I am emailing them saying I cancelled, but all I get is automated responses.
Also their control panel and/or subdomain system sucked. Usually when I tried to make a subdomain, it would mess up and end up being some recursive stuff that created a URL that went on forever.

I could hook ya up with a small account.

I dunno how much space I will need. I'm gonna use this site for several different things. Also I have a domain. Would also need email (my @mail.utexas.edu address is too damn long). So yeah, I don't think it would be a good idea.

Very good tech support, they're worth the extra money.

Agreed.

I may have a 50% off coupon which still works so for $5/mo you get a resellers account, 1GB disk space, 10GB per month bandwidth, email/webmail, control panel and the ability to host multiple domains.

Actually, Ross --- That was me 😛. I needed some money at the time so I sold it cheap. If someone is interested I could still offer that.

WinkOsmosis if you are looking for reasonable specs I think I could help you out. Send me a PM if you are interested.

FoBoT is using me for email hosting at the moment.
 
I'm with Dixiesys since October '02. I do NOT recommend them anymore, they seem to like to "secure" and "move" their servers often, and I can't say how many times my site has gone down.

Their website is really ugly though.

I am really good friends with the owner of that site, and therefore, I can tell you that he is currently working on creating a new website. That one was simply created about a year ago to start off his business, and he is doing well now so he is having his website professional redesigned.

How can you not trust ripplehost?

Ripplehost is working for me . . . pretty intuitive control panel (even for a noob) . . . and CHEAP!

However, IF you need tech support, Ripplehost only offers it's Forum . . . did I mention it's CHEAP?
($10 a year with a "special" for double the space and bandwith))

Thanks, RossMAN, for your hosting tip I found by SEARCHING in a current thread . . . 🙂

😉

. . . FreeYellow JUST gave me ten days notice that THEIR free service would be discontinued and that $50 a year was the best they could do for me . . . . 😛 (I am redoing my website now; fortunately, it is RAINING in SoCal and my regular work is on hold)
