Suggestions needed - Whats the best web hosting service to use?

one.com is very cheap and more than good enough if you plan to use iWeb. If you use this link you join the referral plan and you'll get 3Gb webspace extra.
Just keep in mind iWeb is no longer supported by apple, as long as you have a mac that can run it you are safe but remember you enter a dead end street if you start using it.

I used your link from that very old post, so you should be receiving +3 GB. I looked at everyone mentioned in this thread and one.com seems to be the best value to me. (Use the link to get an additional 3 GB) The current offer is one year for $13.80.

My personal website is currently at iPage but I have to tell you they make a significant increase in price between that introductory year and the second year. I will admit that my hosting with iPage has been excellent. Prior to iPage, I used 000webhost. It's a free hosting site with no advertising. However, I often hit the upload limit.

Yeah EIG have been gradually buying up a lot of large hosts and then "upgrading" their clients onto their lower end (and more contended) infrastructure.

I'd find it difficult to recommend anyone who they own currently.

If my input is of any value, I'm currently using Digital Ocean for just about everything now.

Same here, Digital Ocean are outstanding.

Before you define the best web host, you need to know your website first. If you have a small personal website just with few pages and simple striping, you don't need to think about using VPS or dedicated hosting service.

Thanks for sharing..
