Is this host any good ...Do you reccomend something ells?

[zenyora]

hey guys...its been a awhile since iv been on ...but iam back at last ..
anyway ..i have to build a site to put my portfolio on and iv been looking around and i found millions and millions that offer the same thing but difference prices(1-2$) which is not a big deal..so i guess what it comes down to is reliability ..which makes me wonder about this Webhostingpad.com - Reliable web hosting for only $4.95/mo) are they any good...have any one used them before?
i found them here Top 10 Web Hosting Reviews - Best Web Hosts 2007 and they have good reviews...
on this forums i found allot of people who asked about hosting got redirected to monster host (are they really good?)

as far as my whole project goes its very simple ..1) a site that is going to be my site (portfolio resume and sample work )

2) a site for our personal project (announcements...progress..etc)/ forum.

now would i be able to host then on the same account or do i have to get 2 different accounts . i mean as far as space i think i have enough (1500GIG) but about bandwidth?
also that place offers free domain for life ..does that mean the period iam with them ?
now as far as getting 3 domain do you know if any good packages like that ?
sorry about the many questions but this is my first site(iam a 3d modeler) so iam not very familiar with web hosting packages...
Thanks

I dont know about that host. But i have used Limitless and they are great.

Limitless Hosting | Limitless Shared and Reseller Hosting

With the Reseller account there you could do both. You could have your portfolio up on 1 site and then create a new account and put up a forum.

The free domain for life is only your life with them. To get 3 domains i would suggest something like namecheap or godaddy to get them yourself and manage them yourself rather than leave that up to someone else.

I personally know the guy who runs limitless and he is more than willing to help you get things rolling with support tickets and such.

Make a list of hosting providers and check them first by contacting their staff, then by search on the forums.
Look into Hostgator.com Hatchling plan- lots of resources, good support.
marblehost.com- a free domain name included in case you pay for 3 months ahead, response time guarantee.

How long are you with them?

I have been with Limitless since they came to be in Jan. Before that they were number1hosting.net and i was with them for 2 years.

Makaveli213 they should pay you, im gonna sign up with them now because Unlimited hosting is so cheap.

I have that option open to me but i have since shut down my site and now let a friend use my hosting. So i let him pay for it.

Unlimited hosting is so cheap but it's not reliable.

That depends on the people you go thru. With the host i suggested there has been at most 2 hours of downtime in the 3 years i have used them. That was due to a Server upgrade. Like i had previously stated i know this person who runs it. His own site runs off of it. So it is very reliable.

Ive never done paid hosting before, i just signed up for a basic account, $3.95, but how do i pay? I dont get it.

Edit: I see now, but it wont let me pay without adding a credit or debit card. I dont have one nor can i get one...

I I'm using 1&1 hosting as of now. You should check them out.

*Figured it out.

I think that there are a lot of companies offering not expesive solutions. But not all of them provide quality service. I would name Web Hosting Space @ $10.95/ year ! and Shell provider, irc vps, webhosting, ircd provider, Dedicated Servers, hosting as the ones that can satisfy you as by price as by service quality
