    So I'm holding my nose and gonna get a shared hosting account.

    (Sorry to sound a snob, maybe I am and tx God there are some of us left :p )

    Fact is, I'm a VPS kinda guy but need a shared host for a tech book I'm commissioned to write.

    So.

    Who?

    I was with Lunarpages a while off. Thought they were pretty good 'till they lost my db. Not an option.

    HostGator?

    Or who?

    I want cheap as chips. And that's about it. I'll only really be playing with cPanel .. aah, so I need that too.

    But it would be nice to have some sort of reliability, and I need one of the 'big boys' 'cos many of the target audience for this tome will have that kind of host.

    Suggestions gratefully received, thank you.

    HostGator has great shared hosting if it's in your price range.

    Your best solution would be looking into HostGator solutions. They can offer you reliable and affordable virtual private servers.

    I recommend HostGator or JustHost. JustHost offers you up to 50% discount in their plans.

    I recommend hostgator, they have great support, 24.7.365 livechat & phone + ticket support.

    STEP 1: First month 0.00$ if you order through: http://www.gowithcoupons.com/hostgator.com/

    STEP 2: Click on the chicago coupon, you will be redirected to the site!
    STEP 3: Click web hosting, order through that page then & use coupon chicago.. you will get -25.00$ on any web hostign plan
    the expensivest plan is 14.95$ monthly & the middle is 9.95$(i recommend you using that) with the coupon that's -25.00 so 0.00$ :)

    Regards,

    G.
