Cheap webhosting

[jzhang1013]

I'm currently using dreamhost, its cheap and it provides me with a lot of server space/bandwidth, mySQL, a free domain name for around $50 a year. However, dreamhst sucks with communication, upload speeds when I am out of the US really really sucks (I travel a lot), sometimes its not really reliable.

Is there any other webhost out there that can best dreamhost for a max budget $50?

Thanks,
John

I usually recommend Ipower. They own quite a few hosting properties, so you would definitely have choices. They're cheap too.

What about bluehost or lunarhost?

You may also want to look at Site5. I've hosted with them before, and overall, a good quality host with some very affordable plans.

I always recommend Godaddy.com they have tons of extras and pretty low prices, plus great up time.

GoDaddy sucks... really they do.

Well, GoDaddy is first and foremost a domain registrar. Web hosting is simply a secondary part of their business. Personally I'd never register my domain and host my site at the same company- why not diversify I say.

I actually DO host AND register the domain via the same company... simply because the company I host through offers a pretty sweet deal on domain registration! LOL

No comments on bluehost? when it first came out it got a lot of hype thats why I'm looking into them.

I also got a lot of recommendations on hostgator.
