I am currently with Powweb. Are any of you really happy with your webhost? Why do you like them so much? I am disliking Powweb at this point because they have a MySQL problem that has been going on for over 3 months and they seem either incapable or unwilling to fix it. The result is that they have speed problems on their sites that utilize MySQL and it's a big issue. I'm talking 1 to 3 minute loading times. So I'm about to take a loss on the money I just paid them last month for a year of service and go elsewhere.

I had been dealing with them since they were a small company (since about 2000) and they were great then, but since they've been taken over by Endurance, they are horrid. I was unaware because I spent a couple of years just maintaining the account and not putting a site up and now that I'm trying to put a site up, I encounter the nightmare that they have become.

I had heard good things about siteground.com, but after doing some research, they seem really limited and quick to shut you down so I don't want to trade one migraine for another. bluehost.com also seems to have a good reputation. Does anyone have an opinion?
Here are some opinions on Powweb at epinions.
Share your good experiences! Also, if you've got a bad situation that you'd like to get off your chest, share that as well.
