MediaTemple is expensive because it deserves to be. The biggest testament is when I called customer support and the guy remembered me. I don't call them that much, I don't consider it creepy, rather, I consider it as good and amazing customer service reps who are passionate to work with you. They will run tests on your servers, they will set up "hello world" apps on your ruby/python services to show you how its deployed, etc. They debug your code and notify you when you tax the system abnormally, instead of closing your account... etc. By the way, MediaTemple admin panel is amazing...

Though, for sake of bang for buck, I'd go with DreamHost or HostGator... or again, Team 2502 will host you on our MediaTemple service..
See? I love them...

I choose my hosting plan from the site TheWebPole.com and I am actually quite happy with their services. I tried them with a shared hosting plan and then as my site grew, I upgraded to VPS. Now I am using 3 VPS from them now - 2 of which is Linux and one is Windows.

Re: Any good web hosting sites?

Throw another vote of confidence in for GoDaddy. We host the websites for Los Pollos Locos and SCRIW there (plus a bunch of sites at work), all running Wordpress. (Which, if you're starting a website, I'd highly recommend looking at. MUCH simpler, and anyone can update it. That gets important when your guy that hard-codes everything either gets sick, gets busy with non-robotics things, or graduates.)

Re: Any good web hosting sites?

I'll throw my $0.02 in here.
We use http://bluehost.com for hosting our site, and it's done everything we've tried to do well. Their hosting plans are pretty good for their prices, too. Our server handles our custom written CMS just fine.

Re: Any good web hosting sites?

My only suggestion is to stay away from 1&1. We are currently looking for another host due a hack attack and like virtually no customer support.

The hack attack was 1&1's fault ?

I will also vouch for bluehost. If you do not feel like custom making a CMS, they have SimpleScripts setup for whatever you will need. I think the speed could be a little bit better, but for the price, I can't really complain. If you start to feel the stress from new users, I have heard good reviews about http://mediatemple.net from friends.

Re: Any good web hosting sites?

No matter which webhosting provider you go with you have to check first that they offer a deal that compliments your needs and that they have a good support service. You will definitely come across problems where you will need them.
