Which web hosting do you use?

There are many web hosts around the web. Is there any host that specializes their services for real estate bloggers and webmasters?

Which web hosting are you using and why?

Do not use Godaddy, Yahoo, ATT or your internet access provider!! They have no idea what they are doing (as far as hosting goes anyway). You will want a apache/linux (not Windows) server for the most flexibility.

Many hosts offer 'Fantastico' which is a fairly rich set of applications that are easy to install from your control panel. Including WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, phpBB, OS Commerce, PHProjekt and Open-Realty (among others), These are easy to install but will need some customization to be consistent with your brand.

You should not pay more than $10 a month.

Do not user DreamHost or should I called them DeadHost or Dyinghost.
They have inactivated my account and others too w/o any reasons given and worst of all, they do not have phone support.

Lesson learn: get a hosting where you live(support the local economy) and best of all get one where they have phone support.

By far the best host I have ever used. I am a web designer, and I also offer hosting to my clients. Hostgator has been amazing for me for the past few years. Godaddy servers are overstuffed and slow. This is just my opinion of course, and there are a ton of great hosting companies out there.

I do all my domain registrations with Godaddy, but the mind numbing control panel is getting old. I am looking to move my domains. Any opinions on a better registrar?

Yeah, having different IPs would be the benefit i'm sure. I will check out name.com.

Thanks,

This guy wrote a good article on how to choose a good web hosting for your need.
Pretty fun to read...How to Choose? | Website Hosting reviewed and ranked

and I totally agree with him/her

I prefer HOST GATOR.

All the shared servers and the VPS (virtual private servers) servers at 1849WebHosting dot com are PCI DSS compliant! This is critical for anyone who wants an eCommerce website. For those that don't, PCI compliance still affords the best security peace of mind you can get from any hosting company!
