I have heard many people talk about which host is the best suited for links and offers the most for your money.

To start off my story...for the past year or so I have been hosting my sites on all the "too good to be true" $5-$15 hosts...well i found out they really are too good to be true! Everything from 6 down times in a month to no support rseonse in 3 WEEKS!!

So a few months back I started looking around and found a host which is amazing. I saw them on one of those host collection sites and started reading the reviews and they were all specacular. I went to the site and checked it out and my ideal hosting plan was $23.95. Like some of you I thought this was a little expensive. So I thought it over...it had ALL the features I could need and more. Not only that but it allowed "add-on domains", for $5/month you can host as many more domains you want on the same account...all with email and more! So, I went for it and signed up...and things just got better. Their control panel is amazing...you can do everything from change your own MX records to domain pointers...add services...and the list goes on and on. Between the panel and the great FAQs why would you need support? Well one time I had a question and got a response same afternoon i sent it!

I cannot even tell you how much I love this host...I have been looking for it for three years! I don't work for the company and i am not affiliated with them (except my site being hosted with them), this is my own personal story I wanted to share.

If you are serious about your site, go for it! The name of the company is Dreamhost...you can check out the site by going to www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?ichecker

If you have been hosted with this company please feel free to share your comments!

Thanks to all and good luck,
Ryan

I was hosted by them at one point and they started getting slack on their tech support after a while. Not sure how they are now, but I definately wouldn't go back.

I am still looking for a good site and the best I have found so far would be www.hostchoice.com or www.siteone.net

I know the owners of hostchoice and they are pretty decent, and siteone has very fast lines.

How long ago was that?

I have been with them a few months and it has been excellent. Even in the past people have told me they were great. Are we talking about the same company?

about 4 months ago I was there. Stayed for about a month. Maybe enough people left where they now treat their customers with respect. don't know. Personally I think I am switching to siteone. They seem to have very fast lines and I haven't seen any problems with them yet.

I have been with them for almost a year. They always try to respond to technical support questions within 24 hours. In my case, my questions ranged from Perl, CGI, htaccess, mySQL and Java to MX changes. Even setting up a secure server was not a problem.

As far as Links is concerned, I keep doing a Build All to test the changes to my templates. No problem there too.
