website host recommendation?

**DOMINATOR** · 12-14-09, 07:08 PM

does anyone know a decent but cheap website host? what about domain name registering?
don't need a lot of space/bandwidth because it's just for a portfolio.

obviously godaddy is the biggest and first one that comes to mind... anyone do business with them?

godaddy is good for cheap hosting. I have had a couple of domains hosted there, and for the basics they probably cant be beat.

godaddy = crap, junk #$*@ and a rip off.

siteground.com = win, cheaper, stable.
Siteground.com will deal you a standard sector off a shared server and give you interfacing via cpanel and ssh.

1and1.com isnt bad either, though they have a ANNOYING interface if you get any package below dedicated server/vpn.

Ive been with siteground for a while now, would say maybe 5 years? I went from the cheapo hosting package(s) to full dedicated servers. Then often surprise me with free upgrades (ex more drive space, bandwidth, etc), <3 u siteground!

however if your looking to go up to a jug site go with rackspace and a 3rd party domain h.

jug site being a large site that takes a lot of traffic, needs dedicated resources, stability, and tedious maintenance.

They charge extra for ssh monthly? Is their price normally $9.95 or do they always run sales?

I have always webhostingbuzz.com

Works for my need which is more for email addresses and storage.

tough crowd.

siteground.com looks perfect for what i need. $3.95 month!

**CivilWars** · 12-14-09, 10:28 PM

I actually use 1and1 myself, but mainly because I started with them many years ago when they were literally giving away hosting, and I have never been disappointed enough to switch.
