    Well
    I am deciding which host to go for and I want to host a minimum of 2 domains on the package.

    I have seen nice value for money with dreamhost $90 of coupon. HOWEVER there are rumours flying around that they are not secure as wordpress sites are getting hacked (if i was to install a blog on one of my domains i'd be pretty screwed).

    hostgator there is a nice 1p for first month hosting coupon, but after that its $10 a month min.. but I haven't seen many flaws in their security

    What would you suggest?
    thanks
    chris

    I suggest you go with hostgator, I think they are cheaper than dreamhost (not for sure) and very reliable. You should make a poll.

    probs in the long term but within 1 year dreamhost is cheaper due to the $90 off promo code.

    And poll added ;)

    Buying a year of hosting is never a good idea.

    in my opinion i'd go with hostgator. i couldn't ask for better service with them. price isn't too bad though i have a reseller account so mine is a bit up there. and the only thing about dreamhost that i don't like is not having cpanel. you have to use their retarded little dabase manager and well it's just a pain in the rump.

    Also try www.hostmonster.com

    I am using them right now and the support is excellent. There are cheaper than dreamhost and hostgator. I have contacted support more than 10times and my sister is with them too and i would put my money on them for budget hosting with excellent customer support
