wouldn't we want to not include them as a good hosting candidate? Or

Only Geocities.

Both Yahoo web hosting and Godaddy web hosting seem to get fairly high
marks. Or, i.e., not a whole lot of negative remarks.

I have several sites and domains with MacHighway. They're in Colorado,
answer their own phones, and have always made things perfect. No snafus.
They resell enom. The value they bring is huge. Their prices are not.
I'd even call them cheap. I moved my accounts from 11 and have been
thrilled
Try looking at www.yola.com.
Depending on what your're doing it might be just fine. I wouldn't consider
it ready for prime time though. I don't think there is an easy way to
backup your site, yet.
Read through the support forum to see what issues users are having.

I use 1and1.com for $10/mo. They are constantly adding features. They
even have cheaper plans.

Geocities is that it is *free*. Does anyone have a suggestion for

I've heard of nothing but trouble from free hosting. But for a long
term family site that may be the cheapest way to go (you may still
have to pay for the domain name). However, these days you need to
consider the newer Web 2.0 solutions like Facebook and Myspace
instead of an independent website.
Which brings up the capacity issue. I liked your site... was interested
in the guineas and the tractors ... but had a hard time changing pages
because of the long latency...
When you visit your site, you are probably seeing cached pages speedily
but the rest of us have to wait ...

Is there any site which tests and rates web hosting sites re: page
loading latency// CPU load averages, bandwidth, customer support etc.

What problems did you have at 11? What should I be watching out for?

I regularly participate in 4 different hosting forums and we're used
to hearing people moving from 11 with nothing but complaints. Of
course, those are the ones that leave - the ones that are having
trouble.
The main reason I didn't go with them for my sites is because they're

How can you tell who doesn't oversell their servers?

The semi-flip answer: The ones that are out of business don't. To stay
competitive with the likes of discounters like 11, they all have to
put hundreds of accounts on shared servers nowadays.

We haven't heard back from the OP yet, telling us just what he needs.
I still think if we're talking a small site, he may be better off with
a [free] blog or Myspace site. Much easier for the average person to
create and maintain. They don't even have to learn what FTP is, much
less oddities like

Possibly you were hearing people from Boston who happened
