I wanted to know as well as providing other bloggers with a list of web hosting services that are recommended by other bloggers incase that someone might not be satisfied by his current hosting service and needs to switch to some other company.

Which web hosting -(preferably to be with C-Panel)- do you recommend to other bloggers, and why? Don't forget to put down the link!

GoDaddy - I switched from a well-meaning local/regional provider a few years ago, and GoDaddy was, at that time the best combination of reliability, low price, and good tech support.

That's www.godaddy.com/

They've also got one of the worst-looking commercial websites I've seen, but that I can live with.

I use GoDaddy for Web hosting and email now, and have had a very satisfactory experience.

As for hosting blogs, I use Blogger. It's part of the Google group: and I don't mind working with an 800-pound gorilla.

Reliability is good, maintenance outages are brief and (usually) announced hours ahead of time, and I've found that my posts get indexed within an hour or two of posting. Often less.

And you can't beat the price: free.

That's www.blogger.com/

hostgator.com - using it now, fairly cheap and the service is pretty good.

asmallorange.com - previously used it. good personal service, a little bit more than hostgator.

both hosting services use cpanel and fantastico.

I have to say, I really dislike Blogger. It's difficult to post comments to someone else's Blogger blog unless you already have an account, the theme options are ... lackluster, and I don't like the formatting of the admin interface. I'm a MUCH bigger fan of Wordpress:
www.wordpress.com which is much more versatile.

I use a modified Wordpress install on www.bluehost.com on my blog at www.drivendaily.org and have no complaints. Their customer support has been top-notch, I've had 1/2 hour of downtime total (they were maintaining their system), it's very inexpensive, and they use SimpleScripts so you can install Wordpress (or most other software) with a nice, simple interface that my grandmother could work her way through.
