magicz.com is really good. Their support is ace... and they also charge in NZD if you want Their NZ website URL is http://www.magicz.co.nz

Gearhost is also good. They have very good prices, but if you dont live in the US, support is pretty bad cuz they dont respond to requests/emails very fast. If you live in the US you can call them
Gearhost is also Windows hosting... which i dont really like

Thanks for the links, I'll be sure to check them out

I've narrowed it down to about 5 so far, but am stuck on a domain name at the moment, have only checked about 100 so far lol hopefully can find one that relates to my sites soon.

I've been asked to post who I decide on and why, so I will once I'm up and running, but I can say now that with exchange rates the way they are, price will be a big factor.

Busy, did you ever decide?

We use aletia.com and are totally pleased with them!

what about dim8.net?

I think dim8.net is real good. The only problem is that the basic package does not support ASP. For 50 bucks a year you get CGI/MySQL databage, control panel. I have been using them for a year now an they have been pretty good.

They answer very quickly to the customers questions and concerns. This is what I believe, unless someone else believes the contrary.

I suggest tera-byte.com . its a very dependable service for 9.99/month .

http://www.venturesonline.com is the best host I've ever been with, and I've been with quite a few over the years. I promise you won't find an unhappy customer, it's incredible how much these guys are liked. And for good reason.

Busy,
I know how it is to try and get good hosting. Here in Australia the hosts are all v.expensive and the offerings are not that grand. I am with seem.co.uk and they are ok, bit of downtime i am not happy about though.

All I will say is dont forget UK hosting. Simple reason, they are cheaper with exchange rates taken in to account for people like you and I in the southern hemisphere.

Try http://www.experthost.com

Cheap, excellent servers and superb support..

Thanks all for the replies

Wish choosing a host was as easy as 123

things like cold fusion, asp etc I dont know at the moment but hope to venture into later on so I'm trying to get as much as I can for my dollar, which the exchange rate doesnt help, about 40cents to the US dollar

even trying to find a domain name isnt easy, i've tried at least 100 names so far, no way am I paying more than the standard rate for a name lol (yeah I know I'm a cheap skate )
