TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Someone suggested Bluehost. I used them for a year, by which time they
began the "nickel and dime" approach to increase their revenue. When I
tried to inquire, I found their responsiveness to my inquiry to be
severely lacking--in general, their tech support was not the best.
I looked into quite a few more sites, and found that many had some
serious issues with support, as reported by various users and former
users.
I edited an ebook for a productivity site owner, who has a number of
sites that generate a fair amount of traffic. In that book, he relates
his satisfaction with Hostgator.
I explored them myself, and had a very favorable first impression. I
am in process of setting up a new blog with them, and thus far they
have been super responsive to answering any questions I had. Thus, so
far at least, I can recommend them very highly.
By the way, the ebook author also suggested using a separate site
registrar so if you ever should feel the need to move the host, it is
simple to do--the host can't play games with your registration to try
to keep you around, as Bluehost did with me. He recommends Namecheap
as the registrar he uses.
