    hey,

    I'm looking for a good hoster for my portfolio my last one was quite ok but the server crushed and the support was really bad so I'm looking for a new good one.

    can you recomend me a good hoster where I can pay via paypal and that is not to expensive?

    thx in advance

    Can you be a bit more specific on your requirements? Such as operating system platform, scripting requirements, storage and transfer requirements, e.t.c.

    People will find it easier to give you advice if you provide this information. :)

    oh sry :D

    well I think operating platform should be linux I don't need that much :D

    unlimited bandwidth and msql databeases would be good. I don't need that much diskspace for now but I might start some projects in the next time so I don't know how much I will need.

    can't tell you more I'm a kind of newbie in the hosting area

    There's no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, and I'd be very wary of any company telling you differently. Companies that offer "unlimited" bandwidth generally have extremely strict limitations on CPU quota and inode limits; just to be on the safe side.

    Find a provider which offers an ample amount, at least they're more realistic in their offerings then.

    What is your monthly budget?

    Now you can think about it, 10x12=120 a year you will be wasiting, when $22 will cover the full year. the 98$ can go into advertising or even towards your internet bill?:-D

    Use Hostgator. They're not expensive at all.
