Seeks Info: Best Hosting Experience

[pds]

I've been using Dreamhost for a while now after learning about it here. I used to think I was doing well on price _and_ service, but saw today that unlimited disk space and bandwidth are the norm for half what I pay. I run my personal site (to keep family and friends abreast of our traveling) and three sites that I set up a few years back for schools and classrooms.

On one hand, It works, so why fix it? I make back what I spend and the Dreamhost newsletters can be rather entertaining but all of a sudden the price seems high.

So - an informal, open poll.
Who is your webhoster, and why do you stick with them?

When I first started out, I used GoDaddy, I payed about $3 a month for 5 GB of space. Then I switched to FastHosts which is made specifically for reseller hosting, but I just use it for personal use because I got unlimited everything for one whole year free. However FastHosts is extremely slow, so you get what you pay for....

I use 1and1 for my youth group and they're alright, they seem a bit unprofessional on some parts. They also tend to really slow, definitely not worth the $9 a month for it.

For our family we use FatCow which we pay $7 a month and they are very good, they offer unlimited everything and all they're service is worth the $7. We have used them since 1998.

I know people that have Dreamhost and I've heard pretty good reviews.

Now, so I can save money. I run my own web server at home with Mac OS X 10.5 Server, so far it works flawlessly.

I use Bluehost (http://www.bluehost.com/) which has been cheap and pretty good. Not massive transfer speeds I admit but sufficient and their management and setup is easy. They use cpanel and simplescripts, which is a good system.

I also have used GoDaddy and it was an appalling experience.

I use serverlogistics.com. I like 'em. They don't offer the most features or space, and they don't have the lowest price around, but I am under the specific mindset that you get what you pay for.

I also host a very small site through GoDaddy for about $3 a month, like icemanjc. No troubles or worries with that account, but I would look elsewhere for more robust hosting services.
