I have one site hosted with DataWebPro for $6.95/month. The service is good, the price is reasonable, and they can handle the post nuke software the site was originally created with. (NOT by me - I'm still trying to figure out the cPanel!)
I also have 2 sites with AllWebCo for $9.95/month each. The back office is very easy to figure out and if I have problems I can e-mail the owner and get things fixed immediately.
Both companies have excellent "online" time.
I am amazed that several people think GoDaddy gives good service. I needed their customer service more than once and I thought it was awful!
Different strokes for different folks, I guess!

I prefer MaximTech.com. I have approximately 10 client sites, there. Very flexible and responsive.
They also just launched a comprehensive multi-locality business directory...free everything. Just substitute your city in place of "atlanta" and press return. http://www.atlantabusinesslist.com

Currently I'm using Hostsnake. It's free with no ads, and practically unlimited bandwidth. I've had a bit of downtime with them, but nothing too major (free hosts are normally a lot worse, lol)...

For how long have you been using Hostsnake ?

Hands down, GoDaddy. Their products are affordable, hosting and databases are easy to use, and they call to check up on me every now and then and offer me discounts!

I use SiteBuildit.
Its a bit expensive at 299.00 per year. They don't have monthly options.
There is so much that one gets; domain registration, web hosting(no need to learn how FTP works).
No HTML, FTP, CGI, graphic or programming skills needed (although its compatible with FrontPage, DreamWeaver, GoLive, CSS, JS, Flash, anything you care to throw at it if you are advanced technically).
The beauty of Sitebuildit(at least for me) is the fact that they teach you what they refer to as; CTPM
Content - Creating keyword content focused web pages which will be SEO optimized.
Traffic - Driving traffic to these pages, targeted traffic
Preselling - Your traffic since its targeted, its presold. They come to your sites with a open mind, ready to buy. The owner Ken Evoy explains this philosophy beautifully.
Monetize - Presold traffic is then easier to monetize. ka-ching.
I have created my online opportunities review site with Sitebuildit. And I easily get organic traffic. I get this traffic because my pages are key word focused.
The disadvantage is that for 299.00 you can only host one domain. If you want another website, you would pop out another 299.00.
But its all worth the investment.

Not to be a pompous geek or anything, but Microsoft Office Live now has GoDaddy beat.
Everything (hosting, wysiwyg editor, domain name) all free for a year, with no commitment. And they do that check up every now and then thing. Actually my favorite part of that is there's one person (with a name and everything) who calls.

Nice Poll script. It looks like you retro-added the poll script itself? I voted for Host Gator in the poll.
I've commented a few times in this post over time. I've used and still use several hosts and I am always looking for new hosts to try. I've particularly enjoyed using Bluehost, Go Daddy, and Host Gator.
Lately I've been registering my domain name at Go Daddy and using Host Gator for the actual hosting.
It really depends what you are looking for and what you plan on doing with your hosting service.
It's good to compare services. Some folks just need a minimal amount of space while some need a lot for a long term project. Some need minimal bandwidth while some need quite a bit. Some are willing to pay less at the expense of additional top level domains under one account.
Some accounts come with many frills included in the price whereas some (like Go Daddy) charge extra for each additional frill. Some have a high up-time and nice server guts whereas some are a bit lacking in these two areas. Some come with PPC credits and some don't. Some have better support than others.
It's good to understand your needs and then find out which hosting packages can best serve those needs without breaking the bank. Take your time when determining a hosting package that is most suitable for you.
Good luck,
~Newbie Shield~

What does unlimited domains mean? That you can have multiple blogs or websites? I'm trying to make a decision on web host and it offers unlimited domains if I sign up for a year (host gator). If I sign up for a month it's 7.95 a month and only get 1 domain for $15 a year. I'm a newbie and wasn't sure if I should sign up for a year not knowing what I'm doing. I'm not sure what the best option is. Can someone advise? Ideas/ suggestions. Thanks.
Sonni

Does anyone know the answer to the question above and is willing to respond? The question on unlimited domains by Sonni.
Thanks

It simply means you can host multiple domain names (websites) under one account unlike many hosts where you have to sign up a new account for every additional website (domain name) you host with them.

Thanks for the response. I've looked everywhere trying to figure out domain, sub-domain, add-on domain, parked domain, registering a domain. Researched web hosts so that I can try to make informed decisions. Research, asking questions and reading has proven to keep me from making huge mistakes. It takes time but is worth it.

I got tired of the "advertising" popups and banners that I had no control over from some of the free hosting services years ago, so for the last couple of years, I've been using Webintellects (http://www.webintellects.com) for my personal site that I use mainly for keeping in touch with family, though I had plans to eventually be able to do other things as well. They have both Windows and Linux based systems to host from and offer a variety of options, depending on the plan you choose. I'm on the silver one myself and pay around $80 for both the hosting and domain registration.
I also use Blue Wire for other things, though.

I finally went with tiptopwebsite.com and had a friend do as that site instructed. I'm up and running well. Although I do need more animated pics to add to my writings.

I'm so glad I found this thread. Thanks for all the info eveyone!
I'm still in the research stage and haven't picked a hosting company yet. There is one that I've seen pop up on a few review sites that I don't think was mentioned here - StartLogic
Is anyone using them?
Newbie question -
I see some hosts offer mulitple and unlimited domain names. For instance:
Unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth @ $4.95/month (host unlimited domains)
Do the really do that at that price or are there usually additional charges as Vishal mentioned with Pair? I can't imagine that they would register your new domain name without additional charges.
Still looking ...

There will usually be some set-up charges associated. It would be best to contact their support department and inquire about it. That way you'll also get a good assessment of their support turn-around time.
