[Hidden-tech] Inexpensive ISP / Hosting service recommendations?

[Diane Clancy]

Hi David,

I am delighted with my host .... Dreamhost.com 
Sometimes they have big specials ... and my 
hosting was about $70 per year for 2 years ... 
unlimited sites!!  And WordPress one click 
installs!  Their tech support is by email ... and 
it is fantastic!!  I have had people stay over on 
a shift to help me with something ... and it is 
24/7 support - great from my experience.

Their forms are pretty easy - much easier than 
GoDaddy (I did some forms for a client hosted 
there).  They have a free shopping cart ... but 
most of them do  They are a green host - so they 
are carbon neutral if I remember right.

Small and wanting to stay small, not be bought out.

The amount of storage was through the roof - just 
gigantic!  The registration process for domain 
names is simple as pie (well, ok, simpler).

If you use them, you could be referred by me and 
I would get a credit - unless you get a fantastic 
deal - which hopefully you would get a current 
deal instead.

I also work on someone's site using Bluehost.com 
and they seem fine.  Much better than my 
experiences at GoDaddy.  I forget which other 
ones my clients use ... there were sort of ok - 
but Dreamhost I love!

Good luck deciding!

They do have a special - looks the one I got - 
very very good I think!!  Look at the bandwidth 
and storage!!
     *  500 GB Disk Storage
     * 5 TB Monthly Bandwidth
     * Plus many more features!
     * Sign up now for $5.95/mo*
* depending on pre-payment.

To me, I would do this ... and with this special 
no referral, so I have absolutely nothing to gain!
