Hi, I am new to webhosting, and am shopping for a reliable company. My main
concerns are very high uptime (I sell on eBay, and need my pics to be up
24/7--so 99.9% uptime vs. only 99% uptime makes a big difference to me!),
efficient and high-quality customer service, and decent price. I need at
least 75-100 MB of space and 3 GB bandwith. And I don't want a
"fly-by-night" company. I would prefer one that has been around for a while.

Does it matter if the company co-locates, or owns their own
servers/facility?

Have any of you tried the following:

Host Excellence, iPowerWeb, Lunar, IX Webhosting, or Your-Site??

Thanks for any advice!

and if this ng is not an appropriate one to find out this info, can you
direct me to one that is? I tried alt.web.hosting, but that one seems to be
full of spam.

thanks,

Stephanie

Warning I own staghosting so my view is heavily biased.

Free hosting, and genuine at that.

www.staghosting.com

100mb of space, 2 gig bandwidth (doubled if you host your own domain name).

The catch? You have to put two words on your first page (a link to one of
our sites).

The other catch? English Websites only.

Any more catches? No forum only sites.

Hope it helps, what do you have to lose? It's free
