    Sorry in advance if I've posted this in the wrong forum.

    I am looking for a cheap hosting service with a good selection of features and good support and would appreciate some advice. Has anyone got any suggestions?

    What's the consensus about GoDaddy - good or bad?

    I personally use www.hosix.com for cheap web hosting. I know the people involved which gives me someone to yell at if I have a problem.

    I use bluehost.com Its cheap and they are easy to get in touch with if you need to talk to someone. I did a lot of comparison shopping and this was the best choice for me. I host 6 different websites under one account for $6.95 (total) a month and I just called to find out about hosting more domains and they said I could add 5 more for $5. That works out to $1.08 per site per month! :)

    Here are a couple features but you might want to go to bluehost.com for more details :
    15 Gigabyte Hosting Space
    Free Domain Forever!
    web hostingHost 6 Domains on 1 Account!!!
    2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
    400 GIGS of Transfer
    Free Site Builder
    24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support...

    sorry... I thought I was above the law ;) I was actually testing you guys out to see how long it would take you to catch it... Just under 3 minutes before I got reported, not bad!

    JK I had that affiliate link on my blog and copied the URL forgetting that you're not supposed to do that.:eek:

    It won't happen again I promise. Bluehost.com is still my favorite choice though and they are the hosting company that I use.

    Thanks for all your help guys. I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is paying NZ$30 a month at the moment (about US$20) to host a small website. He was looking at going with GoDaddy, but I warned him off that because I have a GoDaddy "mess around" account and I've found it almost impossible to connect to their FTP in the evenings NZ time (which I assume is daytime in the US).

    I like LunarPages... however only if you are small.

    Hosting-Q.com is my offereing. Includes a lot-- even JSP support. What's different-- my base is small so I offer software consulting and management services at reduced rates.

    I am looking for small business owners who want an online blogging presence.

    Q...

    I use jodohost.com and for $15 I have 9 domains and 35GB of transfer. Very reliable service, amazing support. The have also cheaper plans starting from $5, aldo Windows hosting, reseller etc. I do not write it for some afiliate comission. Write for they're really good and at last I'm satisfied after trying more than dozen other hostings. How it works? You can check in my footer.
