FREE HOSTING
go to the following links to find free hosting: http://www.hostee.net http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ http://get-what-you-give.com/ PAID HOSTING If you're looking into getting a domain, and paying for hosting, but you're not sure who to go with, or who is reliable, here's a list I've collected. Some of them I have been a customer under, and for those I'll provide my input. Feel free to provide new hosts in a reply. • Surpasshosting.com (Currently with them right now; Cheap, reliable.) • Xanthion.com (Was with them for about a year; Had problems with their old billing service, 2CO and would not get a reimbursement because of an error on their part, and had the problems monthly, so I left to go with surpass.) • Netrillium.net (I had a shared account there years ago; It was new then, so the support was fast, and the server speed was pretty quick--but again, that was around '02-'03ish.) • Resellerzoom.com • Ataraxy.net • E-starr.com • Hybridreseller.com • Xionhosting.net • Pathhost.net • myvaluehost.com If you want to find other hosts, I suggest visiting findmyhosting.com. You can supply specifics when searching (price per month, space, bandwidth, etc.) Also, if you want to register a domain name, some places to register at: • Godaddy.com (I use them to host all of my domain names; It's easier to keep track of.) • Dynonames.com • Cheap-domainnames.com |

I have more recommendations! Most of those I researched at a reliable forum, webhostingtalk.com.
All provid shared, reseller (vps), and might also have dedicated. • resellerspanel.com • bestreseller.com • webspacedepot.net • cirtexhosting.com • networkredux.com* • canaca.com • dreamhost.com * I am actually planning on getting a reseller account with them in the next couple of days. Though I am still staying with surpass as well. |

It's okay not be satisfied with a certain company, so the need for the condescending comment was unnessecary.
medic, i've already got dreamhost listed, but thanks for those others. i've been looking around comparing prices and those are added to my bookmarks. :) |

I'm hosted under http://www.networkredux.com right now, and I have two domains registered under 1and1.com.
1and1 is really great, you can buy domain names for about six bucks, and if you're doing a transfer, you only pay the price of registration, no transfer fees. Also, they do free private registration so all your information isn't available through a whois lookup. Most places make you pay for that stuff. I decided not to go with their hosting package though, it just didn't have enough features. networkredux had SO much for their price, I chose it hands down as my host. Plus I love cpanel. :) It was too bad that they didn't do domain registration; I probably would have paid whatever they wanted me to in order to NOT have to go through the hassle of a DNS transfer. Another one is http://www.accuwebhosting.com ^I was with them for about six months, and I just wasn't serious about the site or I'd have stayed with them. Nice control panel and very affordable. |

It's pretty cheap, but doesn't really offer that many features. |

I just started with them last night; I'm still waiting for that dns to get registered--I agree with that, but it's not that bad. I'm pretty patient right now. I ended up going with their most expensive reseller plan, which is pretty damn good compared to everywhere else, and I've looked at god knows how many others places and compared. Still with surpass though. |

It depends on what you're looking for exactly.
If you want a good reseller hosting company, I'd recommend surpasshosting, or network redux. For shared hosting, I'm not too sure, as I haven't had a shared account since aboue 2002/03, and that was with Netrillium, just went the company first started out. |

dont get excited, im not back - i had to contact jusun about something.
anyway, heads up... frozenmidnight is a horrible horrible horrible service run by children. they get hacked like every other week and i never had one week without some sort of down time. to top it all off, their customer service is cheeky as hell. DONT GO THERE. mediatemple was sort of misleading because they offer the ability to host up to x amount of domains, however you cant actually resell (they advertise that you can resell, they use the word "resell", say the plan is popular for "reselling" but once you get an account and look at their manual it says "not for reselling" because they dont let you give all your additional domains exclusive access to their own control panels and ftp. they would have to go through your username and password. but their support/customer service was excellent. and they play really cool music on the phone when they put you on hold. resellerzoom.com has some good and affordable plans. oh and cliquemb.com offers hosting plans for domains and subdomains. |
