Hi all:
>Last month a thread about good hosting companies ran and I got some great 
info and found a new hosting company that I'm very pleased with (Black 
Sun).  I was wondering if we could pick it back up again.  I do not like to 
host any more than five sites with any one hosting company (long dreadful 
story as to the reason) so I'm always looking for good hosting 
services.  I'd like to see comments from everyone, but for my own needs I'm 
interested in hosting services offered to web developers in the USA.

I have been very pleased with WestHost located in Vancouver WA, USA and have several clients and several of my own web pages located on this site. I chose them because I live in WA and in case I had to call I didn't want a large phone bill. They have 24x7hr tech service via email. However, I should start using another service as you said above re having all your eggs in one basket.

HOWEVER, I have had nothing but trouble with a freebie site one of my clients wanted to use, called FaithSite.com--a christian site no less. Their software is not only a big pain to deal with which means I'll have to recode every page if we ever move it in the future. And worst of all, the "purchased" domain name they sold my client went into their name and not hers, and this is still not resolved after 6 months or more. It has really sworn me off of freebie sites.

take care,
Lori
