Once again, I forget about domain renewal and this website crashes and burns around January 4th. I blame Netrillium for my problems. Their obnoxiousness as a hosting provider (e.g. renewing my hosting for me even though I cancelled it last year, ignoring my increasingly plaintive helpdesk tickets) is exceeded only by the obnoxiousness of their website, which plays a little drumroll every time it refreshes. Lately, I have been working a lot with Lunarpages, for a client, which comes with lots of little perks and amazing tech support, but also costs four times as much as my hosting provider, 1and1.com. 1and1 is pretty much the Wal-Mart of webhosting, except along with being dirt-cheap and as outsourced as possible, they’re also dependable and don’t annihilate small-town economies. So I am pleased with them.

Well, personally I really like Dreamhost, many of my favorite online entities chose this as their home. One perk for webdesigners… if you wind up buying your clients domain name, you get somewhere around 70 bucks as a referral. Woo
_BG if you wind up going with dreamhost, my gmail address would be the referral.
Oh, they also give you more space than you’ll ever need, and increase it by some gig or two every month.

But they are more expensive!
Let us not forget about the small town mom and pop hosting providers.

Erm, yes.
