Web hosting

Chris Gray asked:


I run four sites (soon one more) and I’m paying around $50 a year to host each of them. I notice that the speeds aren’t crash hot, but neither is the price I’m paying for them. The speed isn’t an issue but for one site, though the new site I’m starting will need decent speeds to keep up. Storage on both services is plenty, so speed is my only concern.

Is dedicated hosting (ie, one box that hosts all my sites) worth the $180 p/m cost, or are there cheaper alternatives for comparable speeds? I don’t want to commit to something that expensive without knowing if I’m going overboard. Alternatives (or recommended dedicated hosts) welcome

I am after some recomendations on web hosting companys.

The current webhost I am with is unreliable and has had alot of downtime over the last month and has informed me that both my site will be down for about 6 hours today which isnt on!

I have a business to run here and I need to improve my up-time for my customers, and the only way to do it is to change hosts.
