Might be worth looking back through this forum a page or two.. someone asked just that question fairly recently and got a lot of genuine replies.

I was going to say www.venturesonline.com also. Good call SiteKeeper! Yeah, VenturesOnline.com is definately top notch in my opinion, but they are rather expensive.

I personally have to recommend http://www.fluidhosting.com though - They are THE BEST host i've ever come across, and i've been with a lot of hosts. Their prices are high, but their support is excellent, uptime flawless and they are an internap host. Highly recommended.

Both venturesonline and fluidhosting are good choices though, can't go wrong! Stay away from anything unlimited, except for options (domains, emails, ect.)

My vote would have to go to fluidhosting too.

fishingman just remember that because someone has posted a url on this thread it doesnt mean the host is "great". A lot of the best hosts dont even use WHT or possibly dont even have customers here.

look at pair.com for example - top class hosting and not a mention.

I like one of our beloved mods signature for a response here:

There is no 'best' host. There is only the host that's best for you.

AMEN!

Oh and just because a host has a good rep on here it does not guarantee you an enjoyable relationship.

Honestly I suggest you confirm/deny any and all recommendations with your own investigation. Contact the prospective host confirm/deny any claims. Read their TOS/AUP ask questions. See how long they take to reply. Are they friendly, helpful to you?
Check their Whois record is anyone accountable, reachable? Moreover pay attention to what they do not answer . . .


Good luck with your search!

Highly recommended
