Ugh . . . need a new webhost. Suggestions?
shmokes:
I have been with Powweb.com for years, and have really like them a lot, but they have implemented a policy of forcing password changes (for accessing account settings, FTP, etc.) like every three months. I told them I wanted to opt out and they said it was not possible because they control all that with a global script and they couldn't change mine without changing everyone's. So I told them to change everyone's -- that not even my bank or credit cards force me to change my password and that we should have the option of turning off password expiration. There's no reason not to have it default to forcing password expiration, but to have an option in the account settings control panel to change how often it expires or to turn off expiration altogether. For everyone.
Anyway, he wouldn't budge so I told him to cancel my account. Now I need a new provider. Is anybody extraordinarily happy with their (very inexpensive) web host? I don't need much. Web hosting with email addresses, FTP, picture gallery software (especially Simple Viewer).

I've been happy with godaddy.com. I've been with them for at least two (maybe three) years, and haven't had any problems. I'm not sure how they compare cost-wise with other hosting providers, but it was comparable to my prior provider, and the service and features are tons better.
I don't know if they have a picture gallery built in, but my site uses WordPress blogging software (which GoDaddy can install for you very easily). Through that, I've gotten a nice, easy-to-use picture gallery plugin.
They have e-mail addresses and FTP as well.

I use http://www.accuwebhosting.com. Their tech support is in India I think, but if you know what you are doing and don't need them much it's fine. Not sure about the image gallery thing though -- that sounds like a nice feature.

I'm with 1 & 1 .com and I couldn't be happier with it. I signed up with the $4.99 per month plan years ago and it came with 2 free domains. They give you 120GB of disk space and 1.2TB of monthly bandwidth. You can install full websites and has php and mysql running on the server.
There's a lower plan for $3.99 per month, but it only gives you 10GB of disk space with 30GB of transfer.
