Hi Guys,
I'm in the market for a new web host for my boat site. Who's where? Why do you like your host? How much? I want to step up from mysite.com to something a little better. Thanks!

A lot of folks are using blogs to do what you are on mysite. There are a number of them to chose from. If you know HTML you can do some really cool stuff. I don't, and my eyes glaze over when folks start explaining it to me.

I use webhostingpad.com - mainly for email. They are pretty inexpensive. I've not gotten around to building a site, but they do have most of the popular tools available and they are easily installed through the cpanel driven control panel.

I use Liquid Web. They have a ton of apps you can add to your site. I've been with them for 7 or 8 years and they have NEVER been down. They have at least three data centers around the country that share the load. My site is $14.95/mth. You can get cheaper sites but they don't have all the bells, whistles, and backup. I get 1GB of disk space with 60GB of upload per month and 2 free domains. $24.95/mth will get you 2.5 GB of disk space with 160GB/mth upload and 5 free domains.

They have ALWAYS done what they said they would do, they don't seem to over inflate their ads, and what you see seems to be what you get.

I've been using Godaddy for the last 4 years, and I'm very happy. They're reliable, fairly priced and have great support. As my business has grown, we've gone from several hosted accounts to one dedicated server, and now two dedicated servers. For you, there really are many good options. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use Globat.com. Terrible. Total nightmare.

Don't overlook your ISP provider. I was surprised to find that mine provides two gigs as part of my standard service. The only drawback I've run into is adding a slideshow... they don't support all the php or whatever it is extensions that the slideshow programs require.
