    1.what webhosting you are currently using
    2.pros of that webhost
    3.cons of that webhost
    4.how much you pay each month or each year.

    please, disclose as much as you can. but you don't have to tell the whole story. just short one. Thank you very much.

    What type of hosting? If its a reseller account I have been using OTSH for over 2years for my none proxy related sites. Never had a problem except when they upgraded php versions this problem was because some of my site did like the update but they sorted quickly.

    1)I've been with Dreamhost for a long time. Referral: http://www.dreamhost.com/

    2)They're amazing. They even allow porn sites. They give you a lot of control... a lot (php.ini, crontab/shell, etc), weekly/monthly bandwidth/space increases. Cheap. Custom Control Panel. Tech support is always good and thorough. Usually quick. Very knowledgeable, and not out-sourced. I believe based in Los Angeles. Always helpful, even when I break stuff. They have their own datacenters, with redundant internet feeds. They truly are one-of-a-kind host - built from the ground up. Not just another reseller.

    3)No standard control panel such as cPanel or Plesk or anything. Sometimes things break. Not often. But they are very transparent with their customers, which I appreciate a lot. They keep a blog as well and a separate site for server/network status:
    http://www.dreamhoststatus.com
    http://blog.dreamhost.com


    4)About $9 for standard shared hosting. I pay extra $30~40 for scalable virtual private hosting.

    Hi, atomsplash, as far as I know, giving affiliate links in the post violates the DP rules. ;)

    Ok, thanks. I read this:
    Don't spam the forum with things like:
    
        * Affiliate links (they are allowed in signatures though)
    Code (markup):
    I didn't think I was being spammy, but now I know. Thanks guys.

    lol - well here are my details:
    1. Sixty6 Hosting
    2. The pros are that they offer a toll-free number for support, so anyone can get support during business hours (and off, if they leave a voice message).
    3. The cons for some people is that they do put a price on service, while you can get cheaper plans (with virtually no support) but more space.
    4. We pay a lot of money for dedicated servers per month.
    Hope that was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions :)

    I wasn't going to self-promote, but now that it's been done before :)

    My name is David, I'm from HostingWOW. I'm going to be completely honest about our company in this review.
    The pros include an incredibly stable server, with a lot of cpanel extras (unlimited features, RVSkins, Fantastico, RVSiteBuilder) and excellent pricing. We also have a toll free number to reach me at almost any time of the day.
    The cons are that we don't offer 24/7 support, and support responses can take up to 8 hours. Our uptime fluctuates, but we do maintain our 99.9% uptime guarantee promise (If it goes below 99.9%, you'll either receive a refund or get the next month of service free).

    To contact me, you can PM me at any time, you can call me on our toll free number at 1-866-519-9559 Ext. 702 , email me at , or add me on msn at that address.

    Look forward to hearing from you! :)

    If you're going to advertise your own services, at least be honest about it. Of course you use them... you are the host.

    I bought a Dreamhost package on this forum.

    Dirt Cheatp - only 12$ a year
    I have 10 Gb space, 250 GB bandwidth

    The best part, Dreamhost Control Panel (Extremely easy and flexible)
    I can host unlimited domains and subdomains
    i can create unlimited users, Shell accounts and FTP accounts
    I can create unlimited SQL databases.

    This is what I call real freedom.

    And the servers are blazing fast. At 12$ a year, it is a FANTASTIC DEAL...

    I strongly recommend it.

    If you want to host a website or blog, anything under 3000 pages, PM me, I may be able to assist.
