Long time LunarPages user. Very little down time and great customer service. I host about 12 different websites on my single hosting account.

i got dreamhost for $30 (or whatever) for 2 years...unlimited everything

works well enough for basic stuff

I've been using http://nosupportlinuxhosting for my personal bullshit website since October. for $1/month you cant get no cheaper than this!!!

7/25/2011 5:33:22 PM

I host with SoftLayer (dedicated), HostGator (VPS), and MediaTemple (Shared "Grid Service")

No issues with any of them.

^^ Tell me more. I don't think I've ever used support but I can't image a lot of benefits at $1/mo. *edit* went ahead and signed up to look through. so far I don't see anything negative for my ultimately simple needs

Dreamhost & Hostgator for me thus far but I'll probably drop it altogether soon.

Shared, 1GB disk space, 10GB of bandwidth. Each website can set up 3 databases and 25 email accounts. No SSL/HTTPS

https://www.lithiumhosting.com has a $1/month plan that's more fully-featured

[Edited on July 26, 2011 at 12:19 AM. Reason : $10 for a year if you pay in advance]

my crazy awesome dreamhost deal runs out at the end of december/early january and i need another crazy awesome deal

i host 6 or 7 sites, but none of them are high traffic, though most of them have a database associated with them...i occasionally use them for file storage, but not a whole lot, so anything 10GB and over should be fine

i'm happy enough with dreamhost, but i don't think they offer great deals for renewals, just for new customers

^ yeah, i saw that...$7/month is okay, but not a crazy awesome deal, IMO

12/12/2011 2:23:33 PM

Lithium hosting, $1/month

[Edited on December 12, 2011 at 3:19 PM. Reason : ^^ is $1/month, too]

12/12/2011 3:19:20 PM

^ again, the problem is that i have 6-7 sites...none of them are especially high bandwidth, but if i'm going to pay $7+/month for the domains individually, i might as well get one of any number of $7-8/month unlimited plans (which also usually come with more features and support)

12/13/2011 8:03:00 AM

in case anyone cares, bluehost/hostmonster is $3.95/month (2-year contract, i went with 3-year just because) for unlimited everything

$142.20 for 3 years of basic reseller hosting (which i needed for my 7 - soon to be 8 - domains, even if i'm not actually reselling anything) and a free domain...not bad, IMO

I have a reseller account through HostGator that I use to host my own stuff. I can host sites for dirt cheap and it's not a shoddy operation, it's HostGator hosting repackaged. So if you're interested in hosting PM me and I can probably beat whatever else you're looking at.

12/28/2011 11:43:33 PM

I always used enable. no problems with that at all

so what's the current best deal in dedicated/VPS hosting? I need a host that'll let me install Ubuntu 11.10, LAMP, and doesn't cost a ridiculous amount of money. I think I could probably get by with 512 MB of RAM. What do you guys recommend? Linode has a $20/month option that seems like the best option.

bump. nosupportlinuxhosting still reputable?
