If you were sent to this page, you might have asked me to recommend a web host. Here are a few that I either currently deal with, have dealt with, or at least know enough about to recommend them. Disclosure: Some of these are affiliate links, but unlike your typical host rating site, these are sincere recommendations based on actual experience.

Liquid Web is a top-notch web host that owns and operates their own data centers. I’ve only used their shared hosting plans, but they’re also a popular choice for VPS and dedicated servers. They’ve got a great network with impressive uptime and they’re well knows for their quality support.

Steadfast Networks is another one of my favorite hosts. Steadfast owns their own data center and offers just about everything (shared, reseller, VPS, dedicated servers, etc…). Steadfast is hard to beat when it comes to support & reliability, all at a fair price. Steadfast definitely has the fast support response times I’ve ever experienced.  The shared and reseller hosting plans use the H-Sphere control panel (my favorite!), but you get to choose from several others with the dedicated severs & VPS.

IX Webhosting is another host I use. My favorite thing is that you get an IP for each domain, which makes them a great choice for failover DNS. I haven’t had any problems with them, but since that’s my primary usage with them, I’m not likely to push any limits.  Bonus points for using the H-Sphere control panel!

Dreamhost is where this site is hosted. Dreamhost probably offers the most bang for the buck. They’re really hard to beat when it comes to features & resources. You get unlimited domains, plenty of disk space and bandwidth, as well as shell access. In my opinion, their control panel is much nicer than CPanel, though it can be a little slow at times. Note: They do not offer phone support, if that matters–but most of the plans offer callbacks (I never use them).

ResellerZoom is the reseller division of HostingZoom. This is a very popular choice for CPanel reseller hosting. I used the Advanced Reseller plan and never had any problem, but I have read complaints about the budget plans, mostly related to limited resources. If you’re going to resell, spring for the Advanced or Failover plan.

HostGator. This is one that I’ve never personally used, yet considered almost every time I picked a host for a project. They’ve got a pretty solid reputation and offer pretty competitive packages.

I’m sure I missed a few, so I’ll add more as I think of them.
