What webhost to use?

    Hello all!
    I want to have my blog at Wordpress instead of Blogger, but which webhost can you recommend? The host should have some sort of programme included where I can upload themes, since I cant make my own themes. I checked out Wordpress' own recommendations of hosts, and now I wanna know what you guys use, and can recommend!
    Thx for your attention
    Best regards Mia

    I can offer you hosting if you're interested.

    How much diskspace and bandwidth do you need?

    2GB Space & 50GB Bandwidth for $10 a month.

    Thanks,

    I use MediaTemple and it's awesome. Really recommend it. Support is great, uptime is great, control panel is great. Pretty much what I want, the way I want it.

    Mia you should have given a budget so that we can recommend you hosting as per your budget.

    Go to dreamhost.com, I am using dreamhost and its great. Use one of their 97$ off coupons and you'll get a great deal at a fraction of the price, atleast for the first year.

    I use NetpreneurHost.com --- pretty good host if you ask me, not a second of downtime and the owner is really cool.

    I can offer you hosting at QBEM if you are interested. Wordpress themes are fully supported because you manage it all. Just get a free theme from WP website or other source upload it and you are ready to use it.

    Anyone use these domains:

    www.bluehost.com
    www.anhosting.com

    Those are the ones recommended by Wordpress (including others), but do you think they are good?
