I used Micfo in the past and had good experiences with them. They are a descent host and I have no complaints. I did, however, recently switch everything over to an Arvixe reseller account and I love it. It is very simple to use and their reviews and my experience with the up-time has been awesome.

Get a scalable burstable hosting company if thats what you are worried about.

hostgator.com
surpashosting.com
wiredtree.com (VPS)

i am in godaddy.com and own-free-website.com

I'm currently with byethost - they seem to do well by me and service is great - they are not noobs like most hosts so i cannot complain.

Although IF U SEEM THE NAME AZHOSTY << PLEASE STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM they will steal your money and not provide ANY REAL SERVICE

I am using Hostgator without any problem since last 6 months

I'm currently with FatCow shared hosting/yearly plan. Their support is more than satisfactory. No issues to report. Big difference from my previous host.

What is the difference I wonder? Moreover that seems you call that one as big difference

Sorry, maybe it was not clear from my previous reply that my previous host lacked on support and had lots of downtime issues. With the FatCow guys I get my money's worth.

Currently with Fasthosts ( uk )
I have a 40£ /month dedicated server.
seems ok.
quite fast duo, unlimited bandwidth and its linux altho you can choose windows.

Currently hosting with Rackspace Cloud and have a few personal hosting accounts with Streamline.net, 34sp.com and MyriadNetwork. I always struggle to find a good reliable host but Rackspace Cloud (formerly Mosso) has certainly been improving over the last few months. When I initially signed up it felt like they treated their customers as guinea pigs for testing their system, downtime was unbearable and certainly not suitable for an ecommerce site

Unlimited or unmetered? I believe they are 2 different kind and you need to understand that while using them

check out the below links for best hosting..

i am using hostgator.com.

I am now using bluehost and hostmonster. So far so good.
I think the main issue would be CPU time consumption. If you use too much CPU time, your sites would be inaccessible for a period of time.

I own a dedicated server at hivelocity. The only reason I bought from them is because they're known to be the best dedicated server provider and they have almost 100% up time. I've had the server for about 3 months and I am only receiving minor issues once in a while.

If you've only been with them for 3 months...I would consider "once in a while" out of 3 months to be an issue...that's 90 days... issues "once in a while" would be acceptable like out of a year...or 2 years....

I am currently with BlueHost... my hosting with them expires very soon however I plan on renewing it.

As I said, they were minor issues so no biggie.
My site has never been down though.

Im using Made2own for all my sites right now, been with them for about 3 years with no complaints, I highly recommend them.
