 * I’m currently hosted by IXWebhosting which is really unreliable. We’re going 
   through yet another period of frequent downtime and server slowdowns.
 * So, I’m looking for a new webhost. I need affordable – I just host a few personal
   blogs and a few other things. I’m not a business so I want to keep the costs 
   down. But I really would like a reliable host.
 * When I search for host reviews, I’m mostly finding spam. I need some honest opinions
   and recommendations.

 * I use HostDepartment…for the most part they are reliable, I suppose, and they
   are cheap for sure, but I just recently got hacked/defaced (am still defaced,
   actually), and so, I don’t know…
 * Maybe you’re better off without them? =/ Still, look into them they have lots
   of packages, maybe something will fit you.

 * I have used Hostgator for a number of years and find them very good. Not the 
   absolute cheapest possible, but reasonably priced, reliable, with good tech support.

 * Thanks – I’ve seen some ads for Hostgator. Good tech support would be a bonus.
 * Sairah? How has HostDepartment responded to your hacking?

 * If you’re looking at several small sites, try nearlyfreespeech.net
    Lacks some
   features that most hosts have, but has other features that no hosts have. The
   best bit: it’s pay-as-you-go.

 * Zazen, since the last time I posted, the support has gotten back to me. They 
   didn’t fix the problem, but it was partly my mistake. Still, they offered a nice
   where-to-go-from-here solution that worked and I am up and running again- but
   this time I won’t be changing the permissions in my themes files! =)
 * They are cheap, have lots of great features and tech support is…well, they respond
   to tickets within 6 hours (or claim to try to, at any rate). If you’re thinking
   of using them just remember that to post tickets, they have a separate section
   which is not the same as the link you would click through your cpanel. That’s
   what took me so long. >.>;
 * You can e-mail me or however you PM on this thing if you’re interested….I _would_
   recommend them.

 * Sairah and ousep – thank you. I will explore these hosts and see which bests 
   meets my needs – I still have a little time to decide. I am happy to keep taking
   recommendations, too!
