Hey there, ,

I have heard that GoDaddy was good but I have nto used them myself.

[Ruku]

So what did you use? (If you ever used anything ^^)

[Edneeis]

I have used webhosting4life before but don't anymore and I hear they are having trouble. I just host myself now. I don't run anything too major.

Moved to General PC.

No inconvenience at all.

Hosting yourself isnt hard either. If you have DSL or Cable, anyone can do it

[Ruku]

Yeah... and you just try hosting 100 clients at the same time with that great connection... , heh, My compy can barelly run msn7, winamp 5, explorer and firefox without exploding!

And btw, hosting an ftp service is illegal with Videotron Cable and Bell Sympatico DSL contracts...

I don't think anyone's near from being sued for that, but if I start a company, things gota be legit...

Well, from my point of view, Lypha sure looks good, but the webspace and bandwith offers are totally unstable... meh, I'll have to see reviews of clients to see if it's a good choice or not...

[kfcSmitty]

I would go with Go Daddy. I used them for a few months and found they were completely reliable.

[techgnome]

I use 1&1 for my websites.... mainly because I got in on the ground floor and got some good deals. I've been quite happy with them and all my problems have been answered and/or taken care of within 24hrs.

You could also look at http://www.jodohost.com ... they host another site I admin and are quite responsive. They have both Win and (Li/U)nix systems.

I tryed http://www.jodohost.com, but they offer a small disk space compared to the other hosting services....

well, keep on postin' your comments, I didn't purchase anything yet, but I will soon... eventually
