I need to find some very-cheap-but-professional webhosting for my commercial sites. inaki, I am very very happy for the hosting at Dreamchaos this year, but I promised myself that the next time there was an outage of more than an hour or two I was going to have to find another option.

I need a dozen or so email acounts/domain, some reasonable but not huge traffic allowance, and FTP access. Anyone have any good ideas?

EDIT: All set up, though the transfer's being a little kludgy. Thanks for the help!

While I can see you're already inundated with responses, I'd suggest seriously looking at TextDrive (http://www.textdrive.com). They're not the cheapest and if you compare their plans to other people's, your first reaction will almost certainly be, "Gosh, it's little bandwidth and little space." However, from working in the telecom industry for a while, I can tell you that's in large part because TextDrive is telling you what you're actually getting, and the other companies are telling you what they're oversubscribing their boxes to. It's very common to be selling 3x the space and bandwidth you actually have, because you know that most people will never use more than a fraction of what they're paying for. TextDrive doesn't do that.

The other thing TextDrive has is what I honestly believe is unsurpassed technical competence. They know their stuff better than just about anyone else out there, they're very easy to get support from, and nearly any wild thing you might want down the road, they can probably support. If you're sure you'll *never* actually need anything that involves programming, databases, etc., going with someone cheaper might be better, but for nearly anything that *does,* they're terrific.
