[Hidden-tech] Looking for reasonable Web host

[Wesley Rosner]

I realize this is a virtual world and the location of our hosting  
companies don't matter in any tangible way to many or all of us on this  
list.  I do think however that there are two main factors lost when we  
shop strictly on price.  First, is the opportunity to support other  
local businesses that have worked very hard to build solid dependable  
solutions for the area.  While my company offers hosting I would point  
to the Crockers of the area that have really really invested in  
infrastructure.  Second, many of our clients will be left to deal with  
the hosting company we choose for them.  In this case I find my  
customers do prefer local, and the knowledge they can get a human being  
on the phone when they need to.

For the rest of us, well I guess cheapest is best.
