Ugh . . . need a new webhost. Suggestions?

At that price for good service they have to make cuts somewhere.


Speaking of affordable hosts cutting corners that are required...

I looked at 1&1's page and on the Microsoft sections it says it supports ASP pages, on the Linux section it doesn't mention PHP pages.

I know this is a dumb question, but if I don't see it I won't assume it.

Does 1&1 support PHP pages?



I’m out growing my current host, and I don’t want to pay for a business package for a personal website.
Powpow actually looked good and the password update every three months would have been motivation for me to actually update my site every 3 months.
But not having to update the password for good service would be better.

saint:
I have a dedicated server with 1&1 so it has whatever I want on it :) That said, I can't fathom a Linux box *not* having PHP. Still you're better off asking them first...

Yes PHP and mySQL works great. I have no problem running Joomla, phpBB, or anything else on my $4.99 1&1 site.

My personal sites are hosted on www.hostforweb.com .. great company I've dealt with for coming on 5 years now. $9.99 package is great, can host several domains, fast support system, etc.

Good lord, if your looking for something inexpensive, check out JustHost.com.  They were really highly rated by a few websites that like name the best ten hosts (never know whether those are for real or paid-for, but shrug).  Anyway, they seemed to offer a ton for a very low price so I clicked the "continue" button on the homepage under the Website Transfer.  Looked around a little, but I'm not in a huge hurry so I tried to navigate away from the page and they offered me 50% off, which took another dollar/month off the current promotional price.  So it's only $2.95/month.

And I asked them if I could use the SimpleViewer photo gallery software and they said that while they only support three gallery software packages, they would certainly help me install SimpleViewer myself -- I just couldn't get tech support for it. 


edit: BTW, remember that I've been paying $7/month (which I considered a good deal) for PowWeb hosting, so this forced password changing cloud may turn out to have a rather nice silver lining.
