    I use freespiritwebsites.com. They have several different packages, cheap prices, loads of features, and their support is very helpful. I have had three different websites hosted with them for almost a year and have never experienced a downtime in either the sites or my e-mail accounts.

    I pay $8.95 a month for their deluxe hosting package and currently have two websites hosted on that account.

    I wound up going with HostGator, but I've only been with them a month. That's not really enough time to gauge whether or not they will be a good choice in the long run.

    However, when I made the move from Blogger there was a bit of trouble with the domain. I logged into their "live help chat" and received some really great customer service. I got to ask as many questions as I wanted and the guy handled them one-by-one. If I can expect help like that, then I made the right decision.

    Edit: Oh yeah and my plan is $9.95 a month

    Go to Webhostingchoice.com and you can find 10 top level hosting providers and you can compare them with their offerings.

    Been at Hostgator for about a month. I use them because they are reliable, low cost, and have 24x7 telephone support, which has been invaluable at times. Their responsiveness on problems that cannot be solved quickly (e.g. a restore), can be very unpredictable at times. Not much I can do about this though.

    ok you hit that you get 2 FREE domains
    3 months FREE 4.99 amonth after
    Tech support is excellent
    the admin section is awesome EASY and alot of tools
    a lot great seo tools easy mysql all kinds of good things
    Plus I make a lot of affiliate sales so I have made money
    If a person orders that they charge 14.00 for the 2 domains
    and thats for 6 months 4.99 a month after that and BEST of all
    out of that 14.00 they give me 10 so I'd say thats a good one

    Also, whatever host company you go with, you might want to consider one that offers C-Panel. It's a user friendly interface that will allow you to set up and manage your site with ease (unless you're like me, and STILL bug people to help you).

    Edited to make sense!

    Good tech support though it is online it only takes a few minutes.

    I've had hosting accounts allover the place. But I've hosted with hostforweb.com for over 6 years now. They have the best support I've ever seen at any hosting company with absolutely zero competition in that regard. And it doesn't matter what kind of hosting you have. I got the same killer support from them when I had a little shared server acount as I do now with my dedicated account. The NOC guys there just flat out rock.
