[Hidden-tech] Recommendation for Web Hosting, Etc.

I will add two points:

Pick a firm that gives you a good feeling you will get the support and 
response you need,
local firms tend to be better at that IF they have a strong enough 
technical group and server infrastructure,
personally we have had good luck with Crocker at various levels.  We run 
our own servers, only
for our own use and major client support at http://www.tnrglobal.com

As for Network Solutions - we have been on the net for long before the 
current environment,
( we did our first domain in 1986) and had over 10 years experience with 
Netsol and
NEVER had a good experience.  It would pain me to explain in any detail, 
all I can
say is avoid them like the plague for domain or hosting.

And unless people can add unique information or local company's step up, 
this discussion
is now closed - continue at: forum at http://live.hidden-tech.net/

Also, all local hosting firms should make sure you are in the HT 
directory, I just saw 19
entries (read with care, not all are local)
