Edit: Hired one while I was looking away. Thanks for the attention :)
I am in need of some advice from someone who has had any experience with web hosting.

A friend of mine needs to set up his new website, and asked if I knew of any reliable web hosts. Unfortunately, I only once was told about 1and1.com which, after further investigation, turns out to be a pretty shady business.

We were looking at several options, but we are not sure which one to go for. He found one that was apparently acceptable, FatCow. But I looked at it and I am not too convinced. So I am asking fellow TWHLers that have dealt with web hosting in the past: Do you know of a decent, reliable web host? What were you experiences?

Any information will be greatly appreciated :)

Dreamhost is what TWHL uses. It's pretty awesome, and it's cheap too.

If you go with Dreamhost, can you use my referral code? It costs nothing extra for the person signing up but it pays for a year of TWHL's hosting :)

The deal is: unlimited everything, one domain name incuded, for $10 a month. It's a pretty good deal.

Well. Turns out that my friend already hired dreamhost while I was looking away. With a referral code that wasn't Penguinboy's. Sorry, but thanks still for the suggestion.

I'll make sure to use it if I need a dreamhost service :)

Heh, no worries :P

Dreamhost is good and cheap, so it was a good choice!
