z2ac2k: Go Daddy is cheap but my god they are horrible at logging in and out. SLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW and half of the time it errors out. Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes, GoDaddy is very slow for domain registration also.

I use Hostgator and have had no problems with the server. However, when I did have to call them on a billing issue their customer service was not very good. I did get it cleared up, they blamed paypal and paypal blamed them. I still don't know what happened. All I know is, it's OK now.
There is only one domain/hosting service that I have heard bad things about on a consistent basis and that is Godaddy. There is a forum called, I kid you not, NODaddy where all the people who have been jacked around by Godaddy go and share their horror stories. If you are thinking about using Godaddy I would check out what is what at Nodaddy.

I can't fault HostMonster - who've grown like Topsy since I've been with them over the last 2 years. I needed hosting for a myriad of minisites and larger sites plus test projects and it's great for this kind of stuff due to the 'unlimited domains' and 'unlimited bandwidth' offer at around $5.95pm (on special just now) - I sometimes wonder how other pricier alternatives get any business at all. Naturaly it has the latest cPanel, I like their 'unlimited' ftp system, fully fantastico featured and much else...support (very infrequently needed) has been good and quick...happy to recommend them.
I have some domains with Godaddy - but REALLY dislike their interminable sales pages and rather wish I didn't have them there as I've heard too many bad things...about loss of domains and sites being shut down and all that stuff...
I've heard good stuff about bluehost, and ThinkHost looks interesting (one of the 'green' hosts) - and also heard regulr positive feedback about Hostgator any of which I'd take a closer look at if I moved from Hostmonster...though I can't see why I would!
Naturally it's also horses for course - as the type of host mentioned above is good if you want to write and publish your own html/php/css based sites...But this requires some learning if it's new to you. Naturally a site could just be a Wordpress blog - uploaded to the home domain via fantastico - the work of moments and then that fairly simple 'content management' system to get used to. But I am also now a big fan of Terapad which is slisker and better featured than Wp (imho) and has some particular benefits for those who want to get a crisp, professional-looking website up with minium fuss and and using easy to learn building interface (with no need for any serious html knowledge)

I am comparatively new to being a webmaster. But I can definitely put a good word in for Weebly. They are free, but you can buy domains through them. And there are other upgrade options also.
Very straightforward, reliable. Better than a couple of paid hosts I have used.
Highly recommended for the newbie.

For how long have you been using Weebly?

Just stumbled across a potential hosting candidate tonight.
Has anyone tried Omnis? It looks similar to Host Gator, Blue Host, and Host Monster.

I use merchantmoms.com
It is great for wahm. There is a great support system (forum) and the storeadmin has great tools for you to use like a section for wholesale if you offer it, there is a FAQ creator, Articles Creator, Affiliate Program creator and so forth.
The fees to start off were 12.99 per month when I started about three years ago. I don't think they changed.
There link is www.merchantmoms.com

I have Bluehost for about 2 months now and they are great. I received a personal phone call from a real person thanking me for signing up with them. And the one question i did have was answered via email within 15 minutes of me sending it.

It is not on the list above but one of my favourites here in the UK is 123 reg hosting.
However go daddy is the favourite among a lot of people I know.

I see allot of "cheap" providers here. I deal with register.com and the hosting there is great! It has Cpanel and I can call them 24/7. Sure they ask too many questions but I spose they're taking more of an interest in helping me then any other web company has.

I have decided to go with dreamhost myself. I got a good deal because they had a special going on when I signed up. Unlimited pages and bandwidth I think. Its around 12 dollars a month and though I just started with the company an online friend of mine has been using dream host for several years and it has been really reliable.

I just recently signed up with Pow Web. They are having a sale - buy six months and get six months free. I received a call from a real person thanking me and offering assistance if needed. I am still working on my site, haven't uploaded it yet, so I don't know if there are or will be any problems, but the price was good, and you can have unlimited domains, bandwidth, etc.

I am just beginning in this world of owning my own webpage. Any suggestions for the new kid on the block. I have read all the posts under this thread and there are alot of things to consider when choosing a hosting company.

dpace: ...there are alot of things to consider when choosing a hosting company.
As an initial idea, there are alot of things to consider, but I think key factors would be
o your time-frame
o how much information will you be showing
o how many visitors do you expect
When you have an idea of these amounts you can compare
o webhosts costs per month/year
o data storage required
o bandwidth required
Once you do this, then webhosting sights can be compared. Free or paid hosting sites.
Then come other things that I would consider in hindsight...

I chose Global Domains International.For $10 a month, you get to pick your domain name yourself, you get 10 web pages, 10 email address to match your domain name, a site builder to build your site, a great forum where there is a lot of info and help, and the best part...there is an income potential with it. Using this site, I am able to have a few diffent income streams coming in. With the economy the way it is, it is a blessing! Thats my choice.

Hostgator!
Hostgator is the best. They have the best packages for the least amount of money. Service is great, support is great, unlimited subdomains. It can't be beat.

I used to use Godaddy, but I've changed over to Hostgator. You can host unlimited domains with unlimited bandwidth for $7.95 a month. Its hard to beat that!

I use www.Synthasite.com . They have 100% free websites and 100% free hosting. They have all the bells and whistles the big boys have and yes you can use Google Analytics too. The service is first rate.
I also use www.Godaddy.com. and www.DotEasy.com . They're great.

I use relichost. They start extremely cheap at 6 pounds per year (about $8-9 per year) I have had extremely good luck with them as in virtually no downtime and have been with them for 3 years now.

There are obviously hundreds of good hosts out there, most offering great deals and good value for money.
However, the way to tell a good host, in my opinion, is how they respond to a crisis. How do they react to critical problems?
Hopefully you will never have to find out, but if you do, you will soon find out if your host really cuts the mustard!

I currently use Powweb,
It only costs me less than $50 a year,
and it is quite stable,
so I recommend it.

I currently use godaddy because that's where I purchased my domains and they came with free hosting. I had some problems in the very beginning but that was my own fault.
Some day I hope to be able to upgrade
