Web Hosting Service
I am looking to have my design portfolio online… so what’s your favorite web hosting service? If you’ve tried a couple, please elaborate on why you prefer a specific one… also, if you know of any web hosting you would definitely NOT recommend, please mention it as well.
Thank you.

I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html
1. You get a free domain from them (actually 2 if you use the promo code, more about that later)
2. They now offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth + 50 GB of backup space
3. You can host unlimited number of domains (sites) on a single account
4. They have a great custom control panel with OneClick installs of all the popular software like Wordpress, Joomla, Forums, Galleries…
5. Their standard price is $119.40/year ($9.95/month if you pay yearly) but you can use the promo code: PLUS (at sign up page) and get a $50 discount + 2 Free Domain names
6. This way you get them for $69.40/year ($5.78/month)
I’ve been hosting about 20 sites on a single account for over 2 years now and they’ve been great so far. I don’t think they have phone support but their email/ticket support works great. I’ve used it 2 times so far, and I got a response from them, and had a problem resolved in less than 10 minutes both times.

http://www.domain.com has a free sitebuilder tool with their hosting plans that can help you get your portfolio up fast.
They also have a hosting compare page at http://www.domain.com/hosting/ to give you an idea of the different types and plans of web hosting you can select to meet your needs.
They have web analytics, spam protection, anti-virus protection, email forwarding, email accounts, hosting for up to an unlimited number of domains, great support and uptime and an application vault filled with programs you can use like WordPress, b2evolution, Gallery and more.

Dreamhost.com
I like them because they are very reasonably priced and have huge bandwidth limits (right now its unlimited). They give you so many features, too many to lay out here. They use Open Source technologies, I can get shell access to my virtual server.
They also have a great admin panel that’s so good, I’ve never had to talk to a human. They are automated, and their automation works!
Dreamhost is no gimmick. Its a rock solid hosting company that’s been around for a very long time. (11 years). I’m hosting about 8 domains on a single account. One of them has moderately high traffic, and I’ve never had a single problem with them.
If you pay for 1 year in advance, its only $9.95 per month with no setup fees. Seriously, its unlimited. hosting space & bandwidth. Do whatever you want, as big as you want.

The best web hosting company in the world that won may awards was Host Gator. They have won awards for their reliability, customer service specially and many other, But they are a little pricy as you can imagin ($7.95 per month). There are many good web hosting companies out there that are very good too. It’s like saying what is the best car, one will say BMW and other will say Mercedes. If you are looking for a very good web hosting there is a very good web hosting company that offers a unlimited hosting (unlimited storage, bandwidth, MySQL and …) for $3.98 per month! plus you get ton of free software for free. This price is for limited time only. You can find their link on the front page of this web site in the special offers section: ( you can find the host gator link on the front page too)http://webhostinginf.com/
Best of luck!

If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months’ time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.
I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.
Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend…
They offer hosting of “unlimited domains” and you will get massive webspace of 1500000 MB (1500 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer “a free Domain Name” and installing service called “Fantastico”. By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer “Free Website Builder” as well.
Visit the site to check details.

You should avoid hosts that offer “unlimited” space/bandwidth as this is somewhat of a scam. You should also avoid hosts that offer ridiculous amounts of space/bandwidth, such as 10GB space for only $5/month. Hosts like this overload and oversell servers, and are bad news for anyone who wants reliability.
You should also avoid answers here that send you to review sites, as those sites make money off commissions and rank hosts based on how much money they’ll get paid, not on how good they are. You should avoid answers here that look like they are affiliate links as well, for the same reason.
Hostamina.com is exactly what you need. Support is great! They will help you set up your website, and they will provide you with any help you need. Note that I am not using an affiliate link or sending you to a review site.
They are my PREFERRED web host.http://www.hostamina.com

http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($3.99 /month).
But if you’re looking for the best service on the web, take a look at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . As an experienced webmaster I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them. Their service is really great and easy to use.

I would like to tell you about free web hosting service I use now.
Register here: http://www.000webhost.com/70505.html
They give 350 MB of disk space and 100 GB data transfer. I am now using them for about 3 months and never seen any downtime of server problems. There is no any kind of advertising on my pages too, so I think its worth to signup.
