Choosing a web hosting service is #1 issue for a webmaster.  Not only to make sure that the website works well and all visitors are able to surf without any problem, but also that email works, stats are generated, and I can publish it easily.  Plus, on our portfolio of websites, we have a whole group of bloggers.  They just know how to publish and if they have a problem they need help.  That is why, it is important for me to have good customer service.

So when I checked the top ten list at Technorati recently, I saw that Dreamhost is a hot term.  Now let me confess that we host all (except one) of our websites with HostForWeb and we are extremely pleased.  They are quite cheap (most of our websites are on the five bucks a month plan) and have been pretty good with email (though not telephone) customer service.  But Dreamhost beats them big time.  There is simply no comparison.  So I might give them a try with our new domains that we launch.
