Hosts?

[thespisgeoff]

Anyone have any recommendations for webhosts I should look into as I'm building my resume site?

We use godaddy at work, so that's all I know - but I really, really hate their own design,and find it hard to spend money with people who don't care that their site looks like Egghead from 1995.

So...any thoughts?

I use Esosoft. No frills, but they're generally pretty good at support on the few times I've needed them.

I use Gate. I haven't had really any trouble with them.

I use 1and1. Good tools. Always up.

I personally use Dreamhost. Their web portal for account management is very deep, and a lot of popular website utilities like WordPress (which IMO is a very powerful and versatile blog template engine that would be great for a professional website if you didn't want to design it yourself) and Gallery are installed into your homedir for you with the click of a button.

now that sounds nice.... I can play with the big boys at work using Dreamweaver, but don't have half the same capability at home. so...i'll check 'em out.

I am more "pro Wordpress" than "pro Dreamhost". I haven't used the service enough to know whether or not its good, and you could install wordpress on any of the services recommended to you by everyone else very easily.

I dont' even like that layout, but as you can see its very clean and organized. Please excuse the fact I haven't populated it w/ anything (embarrassing headline excluded).

Right- and I know enough to tool around with WP just 'bout anywhere.

But yes, that is a nice, clean design.

https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ has looked promising, and can be dirt cheap for low-volume hosting. I haven't used it myself yet, though I want to switch from godaddy myself.
