The best hosting service i have found/seen is www.createspace.net I encourage everyone to check them out.

I've not had first-hand experience with the best or the worst.

I come to WHT because I'm still looking for the best and I wish to avoid the worst.

The worst host I've ever come across back in my young, dumb and full of...rum...days is Tentex, who have long since ridden off into the sunset on a three-legged donkey walking backwards.

The best host (and the only one I recommend for my clients) is Sectorlink (http://www.sectorlink.com). I do have the odd problem with the sites I have hosted there (odd problem being once every 4-6 weeks) but they always answer my questions and usually within an hour (in one case, they solved a problem on the server in 4 minutes. I haven't seen that before or since.)

Best: http://www.focalhosting.com
Great support/HONEST and fair.
Worse:That would start a battle here.
Hint:They run a lot of banner ads at the top.

I recommend Tina Peters' AffordableHOSt at http://www.affordablehost.com.

I also recommend Manny Quintiero's Global Internet (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GLISOL/GLOBAL INTERNET SOLUTIONS; they are two different companies!!). Global's site is at http://www.gloint.com.

If you are a ASP or Coldfusion person I think http://www.crystaltech.com is one of the best out there. Not the cheapest but good customer service and fast, stable servers.

I'm still with them - does the flame imply "worst"?

This thread is doubtless useful because it will provide a good list of leads and "red flags" for all the newbies.

However I feel we need to add a disclaimer here: "it all depends on best for what and worst for whom. A host from one person's "worst" list could make it to somebody's "best" list depending on the requirements. Also best this month can often be worst next month. Caveat emptor. Nil desperandum. May contain traces of nuts. Store away from direct sunlight..."

(sorry I got carried away there)
