I will no longer be able to host IP's myself, so sometime soon
I'll need to find a host. Ideally it would be able to
run php/mysql and include tons of storage. Oh ya, and cheap!
Who do you use?

https://www.dreamhost.com

https://www.mediatemple.net

https://www.textdrive.com

I use all three for various projects and clients.

Thanks Naz, I was hoping you'd chime in!

+1 for mediatemple, but it can get a little pricey depending on what you need from them.

Not that I know much about this but Nearly Free Speech.net is really cheap, at least for my uses, and they've got an interesting system.

another vote for MT.

After several clunkers, I finally settled on https://www.edmunds-enterprises.com/linux/index.php

They seem to have some expertise in house, whereas the others just ran off the shelf systems and network access, and didn't have a clue if a special need or question arose.

monkey: drop me a line if you would like to talk to the guys who do my hosting (https://nsihosting.com). They own their own racks, very cheap, excellent support, and they will do custom installs/work if needs be. Its great having the root-owners on AIM 24/7 incase something goes wrong, you need a patch/upgrade installed, etc

I use site5.com, and it's pretty kickass.. nice prices too imo.

i use pair.com for some of my work, and my own server for the a lot of the rest. depending on the space requirements, i might be able to help you out. send me a PM.

I use mediatemple. 24 hour support, they're always upgrading the service, dependable...

a friend runs logjamming.com.

dreamhost is the best web host i've ever used.

been using them for about 6 years for personal and business stuff. they offer almost everything one could ever want, and up your storage and bandwidth by a certain amount ever week. good stuff.

Evan -- damn, forgot Loren still ran that site.

loren actually got bought out. it's still josh (lorens partner/killoggs dude) and two other guys. it's getting pretty pro now i guess. josh actually was bought out too, then bought controlling stake in the company that bought him and loren out. i dont get it all. it's still basically run by 3 punk dudes though.

Cari.net is running some crazy deals on dedicated, if you're into that kind of thing.

for $60/mo you get: 3.0ghz Celeron D 64, 1gb ram, 160gb sata, 1200gb b/w, fedora core

godaddy.com is cheap and has tons of transfer/space and no setup fee. Downside is the support you have to wait like 10-15 minutes for. I wouldn't need support so I'm okay with that if I get everything I could ever want for $4 a month or something stupid like that.

i've got godaddy, it's cheap, but over all kind of so-so. the godaddy website itself is craptastically clumsy, which makes it a pain to get to the "control panel" for an account. as for the service itself, it can be pretty slow.

ive been using www.cedant.com alot.. i love that its really easy to get someone one the phone, and everythign works smoothly and the bandwidth is unlimited on my accounts

im using midphase they are in chicago. helpful support and good deals - at least complete overkill for me. my needs are pretty basic.
marc (marklesparkle) i think also used dreamhost
i think we tried to move a site from godaddy and they would not release the domain or something to keep it from moving to the new host, also midphase.

Doteasy.

$25/year for a domain name, 100mb storage, 1gb monthly traffic
or
$10/month for a domain name, 20gb storage, unmetered monthly traffic <-- what I have

Don't use doteasy. I had them for a while and used them for two clients. Hell. One of my domains is stuck there and two of my domains I lost because they didn't unlock them in time, eventhough they said they would. Bad news. Servers went up and down a bit too often for my liking too.

Based in Canada so tech support is a bit iffy at times.
