I would like to host my own personal site - need PHP, mySQL and a lot of bandwidth. I have two .ca domain name and would like to move them to the same host.

I would like know what are your best and most recommended hosts out there?

Thank you.

If you're looking for a good alternative, I support everything above and I charge less than $40/year. I'm hosted with theplanet.com, a major backbone of the US network. http://www.theplanet.com/

The server is a quad-CPU Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz with 2GB of RAM. etc etc, I don't need to go into specs...

PM me for more details, it's more so just to help you out. :) You get cPanel, fantastico, phpBB, the works. Stats are through awstats, cron options, you name it. :)

My minimium plan is 100MB space/1GB bw a month, and goes up from there, you can pick and choose your size plan.

No outside referrals

It's all about DreamHost! (http://www.dreamhost.com/)

I think a bunch of RFDers use them (I found out about them here) and they've been great. There was a promo code ("777")to use to get your first year for only ten bucks, but I think that's expired.

What do you consider "a lot of bandwidth" If it's over 1TB/month I may be able to help you out.

I am not sure what a lot means, but it all depends on traffic. At first I can be low, but if there is traffic, it should be upped. When it comes to numbers, I do not know that either.

Kind of hard to recommend you a host if you don't know approximately how much you need.

And it does not really depend on traffic, it depends more on how big your site is. If it's one full of downloadable videos, it will use more bandwidth than a site with just HTML files, even with less traffic.
