My current host service has expired and I'm looking for a new one. I've been to many review websites already but more feedback is always appreciated.

I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest but something reliable and is non bogged down because it's oversold.

I'd need some mysql/php capabilities to run things like a blog and photo gallery.

Thanks.

Ian, LunarPages gets my highest recommendation - great pricing, packages, support. Excellent user admin panel too. I've been using them since 2001 and my site regularly serves up 100GB/month. Check 'em out, you can't go wrong here...

I'm currently using DreamHost, and they seem to be extremely good. Plus if you look around their forums you can get around $97 off of the first year price, or some other deal. They have a lot of features and the space and bandwidth increases weekly, and their prices are pretty good. If you do decide to check them out use this link to help support me:

Hope this helps

Here's a second for dreamhost. I originally went with another host because I read reviews of them being "oversold" and whatnot, but after working on a site for a couple of friends of mine that was hosted there, I ended up being quite impressed with their hosting. I switched my hosting there shortly after. A few of the neat features that aren't usually run of the mill that I really liked where the no-cost SSH access and the ability to host CVS/SVN repos. Add that to their incredibly cheap pricing and it's a great deal. So far, I haven't noticed any downtime on any of my sites hosted there. I couldn't be happier.

I'm going to have to recommend 1 and 1. Great prices.

Always up. Fast and one of the best. $200 a year with Gold service.

Hostway

I'm hosted by Brinkster. They're introducing new features regularly, and have nice free offers sometimes (I signed up and got 3 free domains for life). The user panel and settings is non-cluttered like a lot of other hosts.

I actually have some stuff on Lunarpages and Dreamhost already and they're not quite "there". LP has always had some email issues and dreamhost has had some issues on 2 sites in the past few weeks. I'm wondering if there's better.

I would like to add about 1&1 that for $60 a year, you get 2 free domain names, and 120GB of space. for $30 a year you get 1 free domain and 10GB of space. good deal if you ask me.

Haha. After I recommend dreamhost, they have a huge outage tonight, the first I've experienced with them though.

ixwebhosting seems to get great reviews...a lot for the money, too. i've been looking for a host service myself and am seriously considering these guys.
