    My site is on a dedicated server at Hostgator and I'm pretty happy with their service. Still a bit pricey tho in my mind - I'm sure I could get the same spec'd server cheaper...

    I have the Baby Croc account and I hosted around 30 websites at the minute and I haven't had a single problem with them and I've been with them for around 6 months.

    I assure you, you won't be dissapointed :)

    Even though they blocked my account just after 10 minutes as they wanted to verify my details it wasn't much of a hassle after I send them my ID proof and they enabled my account within half hour.

    I've used HostGator for the last 3 years and I have not found any other hosting company that has the same bang for the buck. I have tried 4 other companies and I always seems to run into the same problem with them to many restrictions and not very rely able support service. A++ I recommend

    Host gator is the most over rated web host I have ever seen, they are popular because they are popular, it is self sustaining ;) There are much better options out there.

    Well in my opinion I use GatorHost bec I am running Adult sites too

    BUT, if you want something really good

    Try http://1and1.com

    1and1 is the world's largest hosting company, and the best hosting company as i know of

    I have account with 1and1, and i love it

    1and1's control panel is so easy to use and graphical
    1and1 also gives you so many tools to help your website rank high in SE
    example, simple Search engine, James Martell's NOn-technical Affiliate handbook for free, free static software, click and built, blog, and tons of more free features
    if you want to sign up with 1and1 make sure you choose the linux hosting, it's better

    Give it a shot, you will love it

    I have a baby croc account and I am extremely happy with both the hosting and the support. Some people say it's an overhyped company, but having dealt with different ones (like ipowerweb), I prefer hostgator.

    My experience with Hostgator was horrible so iwould stay away from them.

    1and1 was even worse so don't even consider them

    Hostgator refunded me when i payed them for some odd reason. I also did not like their customer support so i switched. To be honest its not the 'best', its just highly reputable...
