Can anyone recommend a web-hosting service?
I'm struggling with one now with whom I've had an account for a couple of months. I've been unsuccessful at uploading a FrontPage file (I've only been dabbling at it, but I need to "get serious" here soon). I've sent helpdesk requests but haven't found them too helpful. So I'm looking around for another web-hosting service that may be a little easier to understand and use.

Any suggestions?

1. Homestead has a pretty good WYSIWYG program
I have a few friends that use it and swear by it.

It's www.homestead.com

3. Avoid Frontpage like the plague.
What a horrid program.

Personally I'm juts mooching my friend's Yahoo hosting, designing everything in Dreamweaver, and uploading via FTP.

4. I'd prefer Dreamweaver, but have access to FrontPage
I've taken workshops in Dreamweaver and found it quite usable. I'm open to any other page-design package, though.

9. Thanks! I put it on my "list of things to check out" this week.
I haven't been too pressed to get my website up and running yet, but I'm aiming for the end of summer and haven't had too much luck with my present company.

10. interXstream
I've never had any significant down time and any problems have been taken care of immediately. You get one person handling your account and I have yet to hear the mantra of other hosting companies...'it must be on your end, our equipment is working properly'.

Decent prices, cpanel and lots of scripts and programs.

12. I have used netfirms in the past..
I never had any problems with them but I switched to https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ instead.

If you go through the link below you can get your first year at netfirms for $10.
http://www.netfirms.com/maxpc

And they support Frontpage Extensions. And I would also suggest to run away from Frontpage as quickly as possible.

18. "good customer service"
That's a big plus. The company I'm with now tends to give me cryptic messages that leave me more confused than before.

I'll take a look at this site. Thanks for the info! :hi:

14. I get one from a friend of mine who owns some accounts with a hosting service
Even an idiot like me can figure it out and I never have a problem with anything. Of course, my site is not very complicate. It costs me about $35 per year with this guy.

17. www.yohost.com
I've had a couple sites with them for over two years and never had a problem-- EVER. Plus the owner is a solid progressive and occasional DU poster, too.
