Host suggestions for a newbie
 

Hi all
Having considered advice I have received (on GFY) I have decided to set up my domain and initially host just my blogs one of which I aim to use as non-member content when I do set up my website.

In the long-term I plan to set up a paying site with still images, videos, blog, forum, ecommerce and no doubt other stuff I discover and learn about along the way.

I'd like to call upon your experience and ask for suggestions of who I could choose for my host.

I am looking for a host which:
[LIST=1][*]Isn't too expensive for me as a newbie BUT[*]I can grow with and expand my website without having to change host[*]Great support as no doubt I will need some hand holding and screw things up occasionally (I really must get into the habit of backing up work before fiddling with it!)[*]I host several mainstream sites with Just Host so am familiar with CPanel and Fantastico and like the fact this enables me to access the back-end of my site from any computer wherever I am but then again I am quite willing to learn new systems. [LIST/]

Just found out that Phatservers are taken over by a new company :D See sig for info..

Hi Yvette if you want that personal touch and experiance with ten years of hosting adult sites then check out www.adult-website-hosting.com ran by DWHS the server are made for adult sites and run fast and reliable. We have ten years doing this and still have our first customer.

Good luck with your search.

Credit where it's due, Hostgator are damn good with 24 hours live support. I could warn you about some of the above but perhaps they've improved since I used to use them.

I'm not trying to get you to click a referral link or anything, then I wouldn't look honest. Hostgator have been so good to me and helpful that I'll always chip in for them

Use anything but dreamhost. check out dreamhoststatus.com :) quite entertaining
