Who do you use to host your blog?

    I was just wondering where everyone has their blogs hosted?
    I've been using Dreamhost for years and honestly this past year there has been numerous database issues and over the past 2 months has just been running slow.

    I'm looking to move my blogs somewhere else though am not sure where I want to set them up at. If your happy with your current host I'd love any suggestions you may have.

    I'm on Hostgator. Been with them more than a year now. No downtime so far for my site.

    If you are having serious problems with Dreamhost, you could consider switching over to GoDaddy for a month, until you find the host you would like to switch to more permanently. One month is $6, I think, and you don't have to pay more than one month at a time. If you do, run a search at blogsearch.google.com for GoDaddy coupon codes and you might even be able knock a buck or two off.
    Just a thought for a temporary solution. Your host giving you loading errors might be turning your readers off.

    Hostgator, Bluehost and ASO seem to do quite well for WP blogs.

    I'm happy with Web Air. Got 40-something sites with them, and never had a problem.

    I use GoDaddy for my main site and Dreamhost for my test site.
    I'm not surprised Dreamhost has issues because I went there after they offered a mega deal. Two years unlimited hosting for 30 bucks or something like that.

    I'm sure thousands signed up as well.
