Webhosting

on: November 16, 2007, 06:39:57 pm
Well I did a search ad found a thread which didn't have much help in it. So i'm starting this one.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of some good places for webhosting for a portfolio. I've done some research but am unsure of what is trustworthy as I've found wicked deals for extremely cheap where as most places offer a quarter of the options for 3 times the price. So I'm just curious what you guys use or recommend.

currently i'm torn between these two.

Not a fan of big hosts personally. I use http://www.liquenox.net/ for both ptoing.net and wayofthepixel.net and the service there is excellent.
Plus they are a bit cheaper than laughing squid.

Be careful of oversellers, no such thing as unlimited b/w, space, etc.

Try asking around webhostingtalk forums
