Title: I need a new hosting service. ;-;

http://www.bluehost.com/ (http://bluehost.com) or http://www.dreamhost.com/ (http://dreamhost.com)?
Or if anyone have better hosting suggestions, I'm open for any.  ;)

http://cirtexhosting.com/shared.shtml is who I'd be going with :)

Dreamhost are somewhat ok if you don't care about slowness or downtime. I can't speak for bluehost but I know if you're going to be scripting that they have pretty tight CPU limits.

Generally (say if you're paying $5-10 per month) anything that offers you over 100GB of space and like 5TB of bandwidth (or unlimited, stay away) is bullshit.

I like confusing newbies who think all that matters for an active site is space and bandwidth when I tell them I pay $50 a month for 15GB of space and 500GB monthly bandwidth :)

It doesn't seem to say it there, but do you think it supports Wordpress Roph? :)

Wordpress just requires PHP & mySQL. pretty much every host out there supports wordpress.

what do you really need, besides wordpress?

How much space do you really think you'll use?

you get free 3gb's with wordpress.org but if you feel like wanting a host, go for it :)

Alright, I'll pretty much settle with Roph's suggestion. Thanks guys :3
I'm going to use it for putting up some live site demos and practice grounds and whatnot.
Might just whip up a site for project Leviathan if my time lets me ;-;

Again, thanks guys :3
