web hosting recommendation

The response is the same, icdsoft.com. They have a business plan of ten bucks a month, offering 999MB webspace and 15GB bandwidth. That's more than I'll ever need, but hey, if your site is that popular, more power to you. 
Edited to add: I've seen other Mac users recommending 1and1.com. They are certainly cheap... even cheaper than icdsoft.com.

I use Server Logistics, at http://www.serverlogistics.com. You can sign up online without hassle -- $10/month, 100MB web space, POP/IMAP email accounts, PHP, CGI, MySQL database, SSH, FTP, SFTP, 5GB transfer per month. Perfect for a medium-sized site. That's their minimum package, so if you need more, they've got it.
All hosted with Mac OS X Server, so if you like the platform, they've got it. They also distribute packages for PHP, MySQL and Apache and offer Mac OS X specific installers for each, in case you wanna host something with your own machine.
Not the greatest deal in the world, but their uptime is phenomenal and support is top-notch.

I use ICDSoft and A Small Orange and I'm happier with A Small Orange.

Can't beat Lunar Pages. For $7.95 / month you get 1,000 MB of space, 999 email addresses, 40 GB data transfer quota, complete customization. The only downside I've had so far is that they don't support WebDAV, the technology needed for publishing iCal calendars.

http://textdrive.com/ - easily the best host on the internet. Priced well, with absolutely fantastic service. I don't think I've had an issue that wasn't responded to within 1 hour, and never had to wait on anything from them. The servers were up for four months straight until about a week ago, when some hardware issues at the server farm came up. Buy this service.
Heh, it seems like Twister has a good eye for webhosts. It's through him that I first heard of icdsoft, the webhost I recommended in this thread.
Small Orange is calling my attention, but even the five dollar deal might be more than I need, and it comes at 20 bucks more per year (I pay 40 bucks a year at ICDSOFT as an old customer). Their 30 bucks deal doesn't offer enough webspace for me.
I have 3 sites on icdsoft.
You will particularly find their support staff most helpful. Their weak point is that they will not delivery maintenance schedules to your mailbox. You have to get this info from their site.
I've tried others (not those listed in this thread) and regret I did.

If you go with icdsoft.com, you'll save 20 bucks every year after the first year, compared to asmallorange.com. The first year you'll pay the same amount of money ($60) for less features, but some of those features seem like overkill for what I think your needs are, Bella, keeping in mind you only use up 50MB webspace and probably less than 1GB bandwidth.
In conclusion... if you see your site still being alive in two years, you'll be better off with ICDSoft.com. If it's too much of an uncertainty, asmallorange.com might suit you best.
