It's time, it think, to get a site up and running again.
I think it will be more of a blog and online journal this time.
Any web hosts you all can recomend?
Currently I am looking at:
http://www.ixwebhosting.com/

Thoughts???

A friend of mine swears by Linode. They give you a virtual Linux server
with a distro of your choice, and you can install/set up anything you
want inside that system. It's pretty cool for $20/month, if it's what
you're looking for.

I've used ixwebhosting.com for the last 3 years and have been pretty
happy with them.
They offer both Unix and Windows machines - I'm on a Unix because I'm
more comfortable with them.
I'm pretty lightweight - but have 2 domains and 6 sub-domains.
I use Go Daddy for my domain registry, though.

I use DROA.com for my domain registry.
I am not looking for anything massive, just a place to stick a blog.
I think IX is the place to go :)
Thanks all for the input thus far.

Is "works correctly" a feature? ;-)
Seriously, though, I'm not sure what all the company gives you access
to, but typically, a Unix machine would have SSH access for secure
copying/remotely working on the command line. Stuff like that.

Actually it is a Linux server, and the main difference I can see is
price...The Linux hosting plan is 3.95/Month and the NT hosting plan
is 8.95/Month. The only thing the NT plan seems to give you that the
Linux do not is SQL and Microsoft specific apps; none of wich I will
need....
It would seem I have made up my mind...

Whoa... Linux hosting without MySQL installed? That's... bizarre, to
say the least. I wonder why not?

Oh, it do have SQL on the Linux package.
The NT plan is needed only of you want
ASP, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server or MS Access databases.

And, in my humble opinion, there are much better alternatives to all of
those!
