    Hostgator is by far the best on that list to me. I had them for a long time and was great.

    I think it depends on the type of support you're looking for. I find if you go with a smaller hosting company you will be treated on a much more personal level which can be good especially if you're growing with the company.

    I like iPowerweb it is very easy to you and you get a ton of bandwidth for 7.95 a month.

    Yeah i'd vouch for HostGator too, just joined them the other day for a site+domain, my tip; use Google and search for 'hostgator coupons', i found one site with a $9.95 off coupon which effectively got me the domain free for this year :D

    according to your requirements, I'd suggest bluehost, not hostgator $10 plan... bluehost is more tolerant towards higher bandwidth usage than HG.

    Yes, HG is also good...if you want you can avail the offer in my sig below...

    Wow a lot of good plugs for hostgator. I have sites at radiant, verio, and 1and1. I'm very happy with 1and1, but would rate their phone support as B+ at best. For my next round of sites, I'll definitely give hostgator a look at.

    I'm using hostgator as my main provider and by far is the best host I tried.

    Also, I'm running a deal on my site http://www.thechosenlink.com
    If you buy through my affiliate link (and the commision is confirmed), you get $50 of advertising credit on the site that you will get back over time.

    Hello Mani,

    Host Gator seems to be great for many. I can offer you big discounts if you decide to go with them. I have just sent you a PM letting you know the details, so please reply if you need more information.

    Best of luck.
