To be quite honest guys hosting server yourself is probaly more affordable in the long run and you have way more control then one remotely. Most of my domains are through 000domains which i do love their speed and support but to be honest i now do it all from home its cheaper more reliable and its easier to monitor attacks. Its also funner (if thats a word) to try and track the hackers back through all the proxies and then attack them its like a mini wargame

1. Liquid Web
2. A Small Orange

(for VPS hosting. Switched for shared)

leet, I agree. The only problem with that is that it's less convenient and a lot of us aren't tech savvy enough to do it ourselves.

I am looking for the Bluehost is better but it's very expensive.

After being hosted with HostGator for a few months now, I would like to give them a thumbs up.

For small sites I think A Small Orange is the best choice. It's far more expensive than competition but then again you get much better performance and support than the cheaper ones. They also are better with things that typically are ignored such as maximum mysql connections etc.

I ran a rather large scale site (which is now very much dead because I didn't and refused to offer something my competition eventually got) which hosted large files for download and it would basically max out people's connections. It would chug up about 30-40gb of bandwidth a day (some days depending on "large" releases it could go up to 100-120). In any case in my experience it was much busier than other sites I have participated in. I used www.gfxgaming.com as my host. Not very well known but GREAT performance.

Well, a very good host is www.godaddy.com (http://www.godaddy.com), there very good. Just a little hard to use with the FTP Client uploads.
