Web Hosting

[andysocial]

Anyone have a good webhost suggestion? Mine (Virtualave) seems to be a little flaky at times. Currently, any externally linked file returns a 403 (Forbidden) error, although no such error was in evidence yesterday.

This may seem reasonable, if there were banner ads on my site that subsidized my bandwidth usage. There aren't. I pay for my hosting, there are no ads that I'm circumventing by posting a picture of a cake on my LJ, and I even pay for excess bandwidth usage (3 bucks last month, a bit more this month).

So, I'm considering moving to a different host, if the spurious 403 error becomes a corporate policy instead of a bug. Let me know what's a good, relatively cheap host. I'm paying about US$100/year now.

Update: Virtualave, with no email yet in response to my (quite bitchy) query into the reason for this random failure, has now resumed functioning normally with regard to external links. Whatever.

My fiance's business (http://www.newmillennium.net.au) does hosting, starting from Aussie $11/month. But....we're over in Australia and I'm sure it's more convinent for you to host with an American company......but the suggestion is there ;)

My all time fave was prohosting. I had excellent service from them, although I paid $20 a month - but I believe that was because I was getting 200 mb of drive space.
