Webhosting companies and services

Can anyone recommend a good web hosting service. I bought a domain through yahoo but think their price for the web hosting service is a bit high (12 USD a month) so wondering if anyone has a cheaper option they can recommend. I really only want it to post pictures and info to for family and friends.

Thanks,
Babs

try http://www.westhost.com. I pay 6.99$ (per month) for a two year hosting contract. I have been with them for years and they are fine.

Go Daddy

$3.95 Per month for tons of stuff

Hi

A website I help moderate is looking out for a new host. I don't know all the technical details myself but I hope what's below is sufficient:

Php4 (or 5)
Mysql 3.24 or above
Excess of 2GB of space, the more, the better
Currently spending $20 per month

Any of you IT bods recommend anywhere?

I highly recommend Hosting Unlimited.

Been with them for a number of years now and am very, very happy with the service.

I'm on the Elite package for £69.95 per year (~ $127).

2,000 MB of Unix Web Space
30 GB of Monthly Bandwidth
Unlimited POP3 E-mail Accounts
Unlimited MySQL Databases
Unlimited Subdomains
Microsoft FrontPage Extensions Installed
Advanced Site Stats
cPanel & Fantastico Auto-Installer

Thanks for the replies, I'll start looking!!

Cheers!

Check with your internet provider. We get spacing for free from them. I'm afraid I'm not sure how big it is, but it does the trick for us.

I said "F-that" to web hosting companies many years ago, and decided to Collocate a huge & powerfull server with a tier 1 provider.

The up side of the deal:

1. I get whatever hardware I want (And own it)
2. 24x7x365 Monitoring and reboots
3. All the HD Space/email addresses/software/etc I can ever need

All for 150 Eur or so a month
(Very cheap if you rent out space to others)

anymore suggestions for a host?
thanks.

One seem to be pretty good value. I think I'll be signing up with these chaps unless I come across any better deals within the next few days.

I use www.anhosting.com. Right now it's $5.95, and comes with 750 gig space, 7500 gig transfer per month and PHP, Perl, Python, GCC, Ruby on Rails (RoR). Frankly, I have no idea how they do it for this cost. They even let me SSH in, at which point I can install my own stuff on the box (not root though, only in my home directory).

Their support is pretty quick too.

I used to have my site hosted with Powweb and never had any complaints either!

@Hutcho
Cause they load 4-6 (Or more) customers off one physical server.

They probably load even more than that onto one. Still, it's like 4 euros a month, seems like it's a competitive business to be in.
