Hello All,

  I am looking for a good, low cost web host for a low-volume e-commerce site I am setting up.  I need to keep the costs low since I expect to be operating at very low sales volumes for at least the next year.  I will be able to get some decent tax benefits from the site so am not too concerned about running at a loss for the time being.
  I consider myself pretty savvy at checking into products and service providers using Google but all my techniques are confounded when trying to research web hosts.  Most or all of them provide web PR services and from what I have seen them do for themselves I think I would rate them quite highly on this aspect of their businesses.  The usual background checks such as Googling "hostname + lawsuit", "hostname + sucks" "webhost review" or "hostname + fraud" seem to be completely confounded by these companies' tactics.  Most companies seem to have loaded the net with flase blogs lavishing strangely similar glowing reviews and even blogs that at first seem to contain negative reviews but instead heap lavish praise on the web host.  Even trying to find a page with honest reviews seems impossible since Google searches for reviews just return pages and pages of links to various "reviewers" who are in fact resellers who make a commission off selling or directing people to web hosts.

I could just go with an expensive host from a big name like yahoo or even my own ISP but these expensive hosts seem to be more directed at low-tech users who need a lot of support and easy to use interface but not a lot of features.  Since I am now completely paranoid over anything I read on other blogs on this subject I am turning to Bermuda Rocks in hopes of getting some advice and suggestions from some techies I know are legit.  Anybody have a host they would recommend?

I'm actually looking as well - heard good things about bluehost but I'm always open to other opinions

www.newonion.com is hosted on Dreamhost.  I have been very happy with their service and price.

Hi Guys I always work with WebHost4Life, is not a cheap service but i can say it's awesome. Never go down, huge panel you can administer your IIS and everything and you can run both Php or NET.
I pay around 1 hundred every year for a shared server that is preatty good in my opinion.
Also the spam filter for your mailbox works very good.
