[TriLUG] OT: Suggestions for reliable, affordable web hosting

[Ron Kelley]

I would exercise caution with 1&1 hosting.  They are a decent provider, but if they are unable to process your bill for any reason (auto-pay problem, email addr change, etc), they immediately throw you over to their "collection agency", and you get a very nasty letter in the mail.  Do a quick google search on "1&1 collection agency" and you will see what I mean.


Thanks,

Do many web hosting companies provide discounted rates for non-profits?  If you don't want to clutter the list with OT traffic, please email me directly.
