OTish - Web Hosting - Who do you use?
Hi all,
I'm looking to host 3 very small low traffic websites - looking for web hosting suggestions. Don't need anything fancy, but needs to be reliable and cheap.
Can anyone recommend a web host? Thank you

I have been using 1&1 for my sites for a number of years without a problem. I have mail accounts with them too for my eponymous businesses .com and .co.uk accounts.
I have found them reliable and reasonably priced. Have recommended them to others. I am not too high tech and don't pay for IT support and have been able to use their very easy-to-use website design tools to produce a good site and their optimisation tools to get a good Google return (No 1 in the world just using my name without quotes).
That's my 2p (2c if you speak American).
Just a satisfied user. No other commercial links to them.

Justhost.com is one, internetplanners.com is another I use. I only have one site active at the moment and that is at internetplanner.com. Not had any issues with either.

I use https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ to hose my personal site, which is basically just a photo of me. It costs a few bucks a year. Like, literally, $3 or so.

You could always host on a server (or VM) at home like us ubernerds.
I do this because I need to test web sites that are built on multiple versions of multiple OSes.

I use and rave about KnownHost. They only do vps hosting and above so they are more for moderately advanced sites. I have been with them over ten years and support is second to none. I now have a vps and one dedicated server with them, no problems.
