I probably need to clarify that:

I am looking for shared US hosting, not a dedicated server (not enough pocket money - yet).

Which company do you recommend?

I am looking at dreamhost right now.

Thanks,

PS: Spam me with your referrer links. Might as well make you some dough for your help.

PPS: I have a referrer for dreamhost, so no point in shariong that one.

hi,
Plz. check out cpwebhosting.net
 
I third LunarPages - Coupon lunar26 for $26 off 12 mo plans.
I also recommend HostICan - Coupon 30off-12 also for the 12 month plan.

If you want to use my referral code, PM me, otherwise, fuck it. Enjoy.
 
I have sites hosted on ResellerZoom.com, CyberWurx.com, and Pair.com. Actually, I moved everything off Pair awhile ago and forgot to cancel. Need to go find some new domains and set them up there again. Been with Pair since 1996, but wanted some cheaper hosting for some testing. Love the $1/IP though!
 
I signed up with Devoted Host - Main a few weeks ago

They got stellar reviews by everyone on webhostingtalk.com

They have been tracked on a website that checks downtime,etc. in 1+ years there uptime % is 99.76% or some shit...

Good prices too, their support department is responsive and always around to help...

On devoted do you use the $3.95 plan or the $10.95 plan?
 
Check some host reviews before you buy. I had a terrible experience with Hostprince.com (for example) and it could save me a headache to read other opinions before.

Good Luck.

/edit by SEO_Mike/ diegoid, don't try that link bullshit again. You will be banned.
 
I use eskhosting.com (they are European host) but in my case the web hosting company location is not an issue since they have web servers in the USA and Europe as well, very good
 
I've tried out nearlyfreespeech (sorry I can't link) and they are fairly good. They charge you on the actual bandwidth your site used, so it's great for throwing up sites which might get the odd visit or 3. They have a free $0.02 of credit account that you can test out. My $0.02 still hasn't been used up while I've made a few $ on a one page site.

I'm also using TextDrive/Joyent but they've changed a lot, and I don't recommend them. Really poor technical support and response times.
 
HEY! JUNIOR MEMBERS!

Read the fuckin' post dates before you resurrect an old post, will ya? It's shit like that that'll get ya's whacked with the ban stick.
 
MediaTemple.net absolutely rock. I've experienced extremely fast hosting and terrific support response times.

If you decide to go with them, PM me for my referal code.

Even if you don't use my referal code, you won't regret hosting with them.
 
sorry Springer, will be more careful in future about contributing to old threads. though to be fair the post I replied to was only an hour or so old.
 
Hosting's one of those deals where you get what you pay for. The cheapy sites tend to be fine for a while as long as you don't actually generate much traffic, but they yank out the TOS concerning server load if you actually start using the resources they promised with an asterisk and they usually have some (or many) problems down the road.

Jodohost has shared hosting starting from $4.95, but I prefer reseller hosting for my personal stuff because I host a lot of domains with a private label (on shared and dedicated IPs) and I don't need shell access or the like and, as such, I've been through a few programs over the years. JodoHost is the company I'm with now and they've been fantastic for a couple of years now. You'll find a lot of praise for them on webhostingtalk as well. For about $35 a month I get an H-Sphere platform (shared Linux and Windows hosting) with a very reasonable and realistic set of features - as opposed to the complete bullshit features that most of the hosting companies offer (they basically oversell capacity on the assumption that it won't get used). Jodo's support is excellent with turnaround within minutes, they're never down and the platform itself is really flexible and powerful. I've been with Plesk and CPanel resellers in the past and I've actually worked with Plesk and CPanel's innards (CPanel particularly is a nightmare to admin, bunch of gunked of PERL). From a user point of view that kind of thing won't matter as much to you, but H-Sphere is a much more robust platform than either.

Anyhow, if you're looking for people who promise a realistic package and then deliver exactly what they promise, give them a look.

ASP.NET Hosting, Windows Hosting, Reseller Hosting by JodoHost.com

I don't get anything out of this by the way, I've just been in the industry for about ten years and when a hosting company actually doesn't turn to shit for two whole years in a row I consider that something worth posting about, heh.
