Question for you web savvy operators

[Frostillicus]

I'm looking into getting a new web hosting service. I currently use a decent one, but I have absolutely no idea how to find a great one - I'm afraid of signing up with a new one only to find out something missing later on.  Or they might stick banner ads on my stuff, etc.   And running a search on google is scary.

Basically, I want a site I can make some experiments with - at least 100MB of storage, high bandwidth limit, fast servers.  I am doing a lot of flash stuff at work and it'd be great to experiment with scripts and server-side stuff.  Can't really do that with the one I"m on now.

Any recommendations?  What are good prices? Thanks for any input you might have

I signed up with 1and1.com
Special intro to their service is free. They offer premium services, as well.

I run my site, www.subarubrat.com from www.netfirms.com No complaints

[EndTwist]

try www.olternit.com

I'm running with them and have had no problems. Downtime is almost none.

Here's a cheap one for you.  
http://e-rice.net I have 2 sites with this web host.  Their prices are very very cheap.  I've never had a problem with them and I have been with them for over a year.

I followed Tick's lead and just signed up for 1and1.com's promotional offer. 3 years for free. 500MB space, 5GB xfer, .99 per GB over per mo. Cancel with no obligation anytime. Option to convert to $5/mo. after 3 years.

Um.....why can't I shake the feeling that I just got suckered? Ah, well. They don't ask for any billing info, so here it goes.... Guess they'll be hosting my upcoming Mission Control cab.

WOO HOO.....I think.

Agreed on 1and1. I signed up with them a while ago to host my cabinet site. No complaints whatsoever, great service, great price

I know someonw on 1and1 and he says it is great.

I have a site that pushes a decent amount of traffic that's hosted by poehosting.com.  Nary a problem with them.

Thanks guys for the tips - I signed up for 1and1.com a little over a week ago and transfered my domain.  A great deal.  500MB, 5gb transfer, all the bells and whistles (that I like), thanks Tick.  Good stuff.

1and1 are not offering the same deal anymore, I guess I'm a day late and a few dollars short.  Any other free or nearly free web host that can be recomended?  I need to save my pennies for upgrades on my Arcade.

My web site has been up with 1and1 for close to a year now. No complaints, and the price was right...free
