      check out Lunarpages i use them, i used to use hostrocket till they booted me for too much traffic and charged 85.00 for bandwidth overages. They took it back and refunded my money eventually but it was a gay mess.

      Also i had a site that got DDOS attacks and they didnt have any ways to bock them. theres a machine that can do it but its like mad expensive. but check to see what happens if you get DDOS'ed. you can usually guage from their responses how seriously they take your uptime and stuff. if they dont knwo your probably gonna get screwed if it happens to you.

      I hve used several others but Lunarpages is the bomb. I loved HR,they had huge pipes and superfast servers. Redundant OC12 loops made it an obvious choice, but Lunars on OC3's so thats not bad either. But HR has lame security protocols if siomethign does happen to you. they just shut you down for a day then re-up you and if your still hit they shut you donw again. With Lunar they got the hookup to keep you going strong.

      Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it. :)

    • I've used Dreamhost and been really happy with them. I am pretty new to the website stuff and had to figure out a lot on my own and they made the annoying tough stuff pretty easy. They've got one-click installs and Joomla is one of those, so it's easy to set up. It also sets up the mysql database for you.

      They give plenty of space (both bandwidth and storage) and they have pretty good uptime. They went through a spell of some hardware issues, but they really don't mess around too much. They replaced a lot and my sites have been up 99.9% of the time.

      Here's a link to some of my pages and our promo code. The promo code should save you $50 (I'm not gonna lie, we get about $40 off of our bill if you sign up). The Promo code is "GTSKYDIVE".

      www.collegeskydiving.com

      I just joined the template club, so some of the site templates are the old ones I had. I'm in the middle of upgrading.

      Hope this helps,
      Ben

    • I'm happy to note that I am now with Rochen. I just got my account activated and I think my site will launch as expected.

      Thanks for the suggestions. I took the time to really evaluate each hosting services and in the final analysis, one important fact remains: if joomla.org is hosted by rochen, that is more than enough reason to make the move there.

      Cheers!
