For me it would be the Planet, they haven't really given me any shit and the prices are reasonable.
 


The Planet is by far the best host I've ever used.. For shared hosting, I'd recommend site5.com.
 
im currently on XTOWEB for my dedicated box and I have a small reseller at blikemshosting.com

both are pretty good. Bliksem just recently had a server go down hard and of course my shit was on tehre so I lost a few sites that I have to manually backup now. 1 year of smooth sailing and then all gone in 1 minute. Of course all that talk about off site backups was all bullshit as they told me they dont have a backup of my sites lol
 
Has anyone had any experience with java enabled hosting? Im currently on hostgator, and I can't say that I've had any problems with them. I have heard of others having issues though (but the same can be said of any and all host companies).

I will probably be switching hosts in the near future to a host that has java support.
 
Myself! I have a dedicated server(s) through EV1 - I've been with them about 6 years or so now and am VERY happy. Service, price, all that. Great offerings with Cpanel, etc. as well. Whenever I need any work done that is above my comfort zone I usually contact www.totalserversolutions.com - great bunch of guys over there.
 
For shared hosting I used Site5, although they've been pissing me off lately with fuckups its taken them days to sort out (after *I* have shown them how to fix it!). I used to have a dedicated server with Managed.com, who were pretty good.
 
Mark, I've had a few problems with Site5.com lately too. It hasn't taken them days to fix anything, but it's quite annoying when a site goes offline for a hour or two.
 
I personally use Dreamhost... they have treated me very well so far and I'm pleased with it.

Although I hear a lot of people do not like the Admin Panel.

I've never really looked into The Planet to much.. but I might have to now that you mentioned it.
 
I've been using Host Gator for about two years now. No problems to report from them. :)
 
I have Lunar Pages and just started with Hostgator.

I have had some bad luck with Lunar (there entire server floor went offline for a day a week after I started and I have had some connectivity problems with them but all seems to be straightened out now.

So far I am really impressed with Hostgator. DNS seemed to set up in minutes with them and my sites were up much faster than I expected.

shokthx
 
Dreamhost is doing it for me. I don't like the occasional downtimes (I watch my sites often and every downtime pisses me off since they all disappear together), but I got the hosting cheap and I like their humor & attitude.
 
See to me "occasional downtime" is unacceptable, unfortunately it can't always be prevented but a host that's down a lot is a deal breaker
 
Glad to see some others using Dreamhost.. I signed up under the promo code: 777 and got a killer deal.
