Does anyone know of any good web hosting services out there? All the free ones that I've seen seem to be bad(installs adware and such onto your computer) so I rather pay for something good. I'm planning to buy my own domain so I was just wondering what hosting service any of you would recommend?
Thanks! :)
ipowerweb.com
I also have the address of a website that rates all the sites out there so you can compare side by side, but that address is on my home computer. When I get home I'll see if I can find it.

GREAT site that reviews web hosters.
Di (BcBlondie) and I use Magicomm.net
Their prices are great (I had the $1 plan for a while) and for the dollar, you get 200mbs of space (more than enough for most people). If you find a better plan somewhere else, they'll happily offer it to you at the same price. Right now, I'm paying $4.95 a month for 2 gigs of space and 30 gigs of bandwidth. They also offer domain registration for $7.95 (or something like that). And of course, you get all the fancy stuff to play with (PHP, Mysql, Fantastico). Uptime is great too!
Thanks so much, I'll look into those! :)
Good thread at a good time for me - I'm in a Web design boot camp all this week during the evenings, and we were just talking about Web hosting and domain name buying tonight - this will all be useful to me once I start creating my own sites.
Another question that is sort of related, sort of unrelated - anyone know how to uninstall and reinstall trial versions of software? I'm not trying to be cheap, but I had Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 on the new Dell computer, and I didn't realize it was the trial edition until it was too late - I barely got to use it, and now I can't, and I'd love to get in there and create a few signatures, etc. I was just wondering if anyone had any good tips for being able to redo a trial period of software - how to clean up the registry of any traces of the software from the past, so you can download and reinstall another trial version.
Any help would be much appreciated - here or in PMs - I don't care either way. I've just Googled a ton of different things related to this and haven't had much luck coming up with an answer.
bumping up so someone may be able to answer my trial editions of software question...
Thanks in advance for anyone who knows anything...
I'm thinking about signing up and using this host:
http://www.startlogic.com/
Anyone know if they're good/bad? I e-mailed them with a question and they replied to me in like less than 5 minutes so I know they have an awesome support line. If I do sign up, I'll have to pay for the whole year which is around $90, but it's worth it because I'm planning to get my site officially up and running soon. I'm just simply looking for a decent host that has a webpage builder and also offers the bulletin board/forum so please let me know if you know of a good host offering these at a better price.
Thanks again! :)
I used to have the trial version of Jasc Paint Shop Pro for a while. Dunno if they've fixed this little bug with it or not, but once upon a time, if you set your computer's calendar back to a date that was still under the trial period, it would keep going until the calendar reached the date that the trial period expired again. I think I used the 30-day trial version for over a year before I finally got my grubby little mits on a copy of Photoshop LE that came with my tablet.
I use F5 Hosting.
Very nice and their support has been quick, friendly, and convienent.
I purchased my domain name from Name Secure.
