<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Most of you are aware that of the fact that I'm still in the process of establishing my website.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">So, I have come across 2 different companies that will offer hosting:</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">1. <a href="http://www.1and1.com" target="_blank">www.1and1.com</a> (most of you vouched well for them) although I've e-mailed them last week and still haven't heard back from their sales team.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">2. <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html" target="_blank">http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html</a> which is currently offering a deal with unlimited bandwith and unlimited disk storage. Does anyone have any experience with them?</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Just curious to see what everyone is using and maybe you might have some suggestions or 2.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Firstly, just making sure you're aware of the pages on PmWiki -- <a href="http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebHosts">http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebHosts</a> and <a href="http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PmwikiFriendlyHosting">http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PmwikiFriendlyHosting</a><br>
<br>Then there's a site devoted to reviews and discussion -- <a href="http://www.webhostingtalk.com/index.php">http://www.webhostingtalk.com/index.php</a><br><br>The discussion around the blog post at <a href="http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/2482/">http://decaflon.com/technology/notes/2482/</a> might be helpful, though the discussion suffers from the same problem as the <a href="http://webhostingtalk.com">webhostingtalk.com</a> site -- basically, what you get is more names to consider, and little help ruling any of them out, since for every negative comment there are positives, about pretty much any host.<br>
<br>One (at least) of the comments at that last link mentions mediatemple. I have friends who have just moved to that host and are delighted.<br><br>Hope some of that is somehow helpful - sorry to add positives and not negatives, same as so many other sources will do. I'm still looking, too, but will probably go with mediatemple just because my friends are happy there. I've been unhappy with my present host's service, but am loathe to mention them by name until I've moved away, lest they discover the mention via a web-alert and decide to make life difficult(er) for me. They're not a big name, though, so you're unlikely to stumble into them.<br>
