I'm switching web hosts and I am looking for a good reliable web host to host my site. I was with 1and1, but they don't support php so i have decided to leave them. I am looking into bluehost or dreamhost but i can't decide which is better, so i was wondering what you guys think. What do you think is a really good web host that is reliable and supports the major programming languages (php, mysql, etc). money is no object as long as it is under $20/month

I would avoid United Hosting if their US service is anything like what I get in the UK. It's slow, and they charge extra for each additional domain you want to point to your account. I realise you're not currently looking at them, but don't! smile.gif

I liked Atomhost when I wasn't hosting things myself - their tech support is really good, and they're very nice to developers - if I ever needed a security feature tweaked, or a new Perl module installed(didn't do much non-stock PHP), it was a simple matter of sending them an e-mail, and then receiving an e-mail back that said "it's been done, go test it out".

They're also pretty flexible on billing options - I've paid them via credit card and Paypal - although you have to mention that you want Paypal when you sign up(or submit a support request).

I've been with MediaTemple for almost 2 years now, they are extremely reliable and their 24/7/365 customer support is unmatched. MT is a big name for developers, artists, and people with extreme demands.

The Grid-Service plan starts at $20 a month and it offers everything most people need.

Check it out at http://www.mediatemple.net

Otherwise I do have a referral link - http://www.mediatemple.net/go/order/?refdo...slangenfeld.com
