    Where have you been hosting your Wordpress blog(s) and where are you hosting it/them now?

    I used to use Dreamhost then HostGator

    I'm currently looking for another good US solution (cpanel, fantastico...) or something like servage (but better!)

    Any experience to share?

    I have hosting at HostedFX.com. I've had a good experience with them. It's a small host, but the support is quick and friendly.

    I host at WebAir. Great support. Transfer was painless. I have never had a problem. Worth every penny.

    I know them for years now

    Their TOS seem to be a bit complicated for me and they don't allow adult content (I may want to host some)

    If you want to build an adult blog on wordpress you will want dedicated or virtual, semi dedicated hosting. This is because wordpress will take out a lot of the server's resources when you have huge amounts of traffic. With a good adult blog you can expect hundreds of connections per second at some point in time. This makes it quite hard to grow as a lot of shared hosts will limit the number of connections they allow per second. In my view, if you want to start adult sites you should host them on your own servers. ExMasters.com is very good for that.

    On the other hand, if you want to host wordpress you can basically host it on most hosts out there. I have a lot on GoDaddy and on HostGator. Only had problems with GoDaddy because of the limitation I mentioned above with an ADULT site. With a regular site I never had problems. In the event that you start having problems, you should be making a lot of money with that blog and this basically means that you should buy a private server.

    I am hosting an adult website @ DreamHost

    Why did you prefer HostGator?

    Me too, been with them for six months, everything has been great. 24/7 chat support with real people is really a great thing too. The price is also unbeatable.

    I use PipeB.com - uptime is truly amazing and they don't oversell! I use their smallest plan (Pipe 10) since I don't actually need that much webspace or bandwidth and I only pay $2/month, lol.

    GoDaddy.
    I've heard bad things about them and I've had one or two problems, but I'm good for now.

    Is it a reseller? Is it your property?

    No we are not resellers. We have been providing webhosting for almost 2 years. You can also look for Prilep he also posts on this forum, but if you have any sales questions you can contact me.
