I searched the forums for this but there doesn't seem to be many recent posts and perhaps some new hosts have sprung up recently that folks might like to recommend. (So no one lectures me on searching the forum first.)

And please, no one suggest dedicated hosting, because I'm just not willing to shell out that much money when I have no idea how much traffic I'll be generating up the road--but right now I know for sure that I don't need that much!

Here's a few I've found that offer a lot for less (which isn't neccessarily good or bad, of course)

http://powweb.com/

http://hostrocket.com/

http://www.deadserious.net/

http://www.ipowerweb.com/

http://jumpline.com/

Maybe one or two of you wouldn't mind doing at least a cursory comparison of a couple of these for me, just to let me know if you think they'd be adequate for hosting a site of approximately 50,000 links (at it's biggest, I imagine), light on graphics. Or perhaps you know of something better but still inexpensive....

(BTW, I've already contacted a couple of these, like Deadserious and ipowerweb, and they've told me they would have no problem hosting a Links SQL site.)

Any help much appreciated!



P.S. Seems like I've stumbled on a lot of posts by people having trouble with virtual hosts. Should I avoid them?
