Web host providers

Who do you use as your webhost?

I have been using 1t3.com for the last year, but have had about 5 weeks of solid problems form them now and need to switch providers ASAP.

I think a lot of the WAHMs use www.wahmservices.com

Thanks for your input. This looks like it is mostly a shopping cart system...ie, it is good if you are selling something, but maybe not so good for other purposes, am I right?

The site that I am looking for hosting on may eventually have a shopping cart/sell some things. We have talked about it in the past, but that is way on the back burner. Right now it is more an archive site for a local parenting zine, w/ a message board for the play group and some more "nation wide" type resource pages.

Aaahhh, then that will be no help, you need something with a LOT of storage.

I use www.tnpsc.com/web/index.html for my hosting. I think it's around 20/month. Tony, the guy who owns it, is awesome!
I love that is is html based, no templates and such.

I ADORE my webhosting and love to rave about them. ImageLinkUSA They have great customer service, a really user friendly control panel, unlimited email addys, and guarantee 99.9% uptime. They also have these great "midnight madness" specials everyday, I got 400 mgs for $99 a year and my own static IP address for an extra $3 a month. The specials change every day, so you just have to check in to see what deal they have. If you do use them, sign up for the newsletter, you get tips and info on how to set up everything. I made a subdomain for DH nad he uses his FTP software, but I prefer to manage my files with the File Manager in the control panel.

I use Hypermart and really like it alot. Its affordable and easy to use. I've had really good luck with their support and customer service. I've recently discovered their statics (spelling? I'm tired tonight) page and it tells me everything from how many hits I've had- what pages were visited and how many times- where the came from- what search engines or specific websites. ( even traced it back to the Mothering board thread..LOL) and awhole bunch of other information I don't get yet, but I was still thrilled with finding that this information is all there.

I'm using yahoo webhosting right now. I don't have a shopping cart, as I'm operating on an auction-only business right now, but if & when I go to instock selling, I'll probably just use paypal checkout, since I only take paypal payments, anyway. Yahoo has 3 different business packages with varying services - I have the "starter" package, and only pay about $12 a month.
