    My friend wants to build a personal website including a blog (wordress) a wiki and probably a forum. Which web host do you think is best? He found theMagicHost. How about it?

    Check out HostGator, Lunarpages, or HostMonster / Bluehost.

    Free will generally come with their own drawbacks.

    If you want something reliable, check out the hosting packs at domains.impactservices.in. Still, if you are not satisfied with the plans, send email to get customized plan.

    Yes, DreamHost is the best and it is cheap as it comes to price. You can get a $50 discount from your 1 year order, by registering through my signature link.

    I would have to recommend Hostgator as well. I'm currently using them and they give you unlimited free ad-on domains which basically means you can have as many domains hosted on your account as you wish. They give you fantastico as well where you can install Wordpress.

    Plus you can get a discount by using special name they have every month.

    Sometimes I experience downtime with HG, but overall I recommend them.

    I use hostmonster and their customer service is accessible and helpful most of the time.

    They have wordpress and SMF + PHPbb forum software although they do not host ASP.

    It's inexpensive and you have a large amount of space.

    Hostgator would be my first recommendation, i have had reseller and dedi box's with them, also Apthost is very good, they have just upgraded all their servers and have great uptime now.
