Web hosting companies that I have tried and found them reliable, fast and user friendly:

• aPlus.net, now Codero, is web hosting I use. This site is hosted there. I have a dedicated server with them.
• BlueHost
• GoDaddy – I read some negative feedback about their hosting, but my personal experience is quite positive.
• HostGator – HostGator is a very popular, feature rich and not expensive ($4.95) hosting service.
• HostMonster
• Lunarpages

These links are affiliate links. I receive a compensation from the company when you buy hosting after clicking on my link. If you don’t want me to get compensated, simply go to their website without clicking on my link. Usually, adding dot com to the company name will give you a correct address.
