          Slacker007's response made me look at NameCheap. It is another possibility that looks even cheaper: [Shared Hosting Plans - Namecheap.](https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/)

            In addition to my earlier reply, this may be useful: [10 Best Web Hosting Services (40+ Hosts Compared) | HostingFacts.com](https://hostingfacts.com). Don't know if it is any good, since everything on the web is biased by money now, but it may be a good place to start. Actually, since they recommend HostGator I'd say the list is crap. I had them years ago and their service was abysmal, unless they turned a very tight corner. But the list might still get you started.

                  I've used HostGator for years and they have good uptime and decent rates. I agree their customer service has a lot of room for improvement. Then again, I run on their Windows hosting platform. They are obviously more LAMP stack oriented (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and their Windows services play second fiddle. But I have worked with several web hosts recently and HostGator is certainly not alone in their shift away from more automated and less personal customer service. Bud Staniek

                      I use Dreamhost [^] I just run ICMP mail though they support SMTP, and a small static website and a Wordpress site. They are pretty cheap and I've had no issues with them over the years.

                          GoDaddy used to be good. It isn't anymore and it is expensive. NameCheap is good, but I didn't get a plan with email. Although a little more expensive, Hostway is good. I've been using them, I'd guess, for 20 years. Web hosting Services & VPS solutions from Hostway[^] I have 2 domains with Hostway and one with NameCheap

                              Here (UK) most hosting is far too cheap. I've used a variety of hosts; they all started absolutely brilliantly, bending over backwards to help, great communications. Once they grow (on the back of good reviews) they have too many clients for the number of support staff they can afford. Service levels plummet, and any sense of being "valued" as a customer goes out of the window. I had one who, when my client hit the contracted max database size, just deleted the database. (No "would you like to upgrade", no warning). Just came in one morning, no database. And this on a system where we were charging (significant) real money for a real service. Another one "upgraded" the database, again without warning. My (another) client's app went down. I detected (very quickly) they'd switched from MySql to MariaDB. "It's just the new name" they lied. "It's 100% compatible" they lied. Fortunately the app changes weren't great on that occasion, but the site was down for most of a day. This week another host had a problem with their disk storage. After 4 hours downtime, they restored from backup - overwriting the original disk. This was on a RAID setup, the point of which is to mitigate against corruption! Had they restored to a NEW disk, we might have stood a chance of recovering the day's data. Instead my client had to pay 5 staff to re-enter a day's transactions, working until gone midnight and starting again at 7am. All of these hosts were charging under £5/month ($6USD) and at that price, they can afford to take maybe a 2-minute support call from a client a month. Even if the last incident had restored to a new disk, it wouldn't have been worth it for them to take the time to try and restore one client's data. So my view now is that, if there is any value at all in the sites you're hosting, it's pointless going with "budget" shared hosting. (All the hosting choices above were my clients', by the way, looking to get "good value".) Am now looking for a reasonable VPS hosting environment (so at least they won't "upgrade" databases / security software etc) but primary consideration is tech support: Are they available, will they actively engage during incidents, and do they have the tech knowledge, authority and even just plain interest to actually do anything when needed?

                                  GoDaddy's about the worst - really expensive. Cheap come-ons to get in newbies and then they, for the most part, "got 'em" as transferring is beyond what most are willing to do (a well known business axiom). Then they sock it to them with high renewals.

                                    I use NameCheap to host a website (ca. US$ 30/yr) and four domains. Includes free email forwards - even if you don't buy anything from them. They assume you're smarter than a GoDaddy customer so it's a little less straight forward. I adapted to CPanael pretty quickly.
