Hi,

I am bit confused here.  I saw some posts here about domain name
registering, regarding godaddy.com.  Well I got a domain from them.  But
now the question comes for webhosting.  Domains is one thing, hosting is
another issue.

Checking google for reviews on godaddy.com webhosting plans - I see lots
of complaints.  But on their website, I am amazed at 100GB bandwidth and 1
or 2 gigs of space..and its on linux also :)  But should I go for them?

What is a good recommened webhosting?  I do need linux support (ssh,
sftp), shell access, Lots of bandwidth (100GB looks great) and minimum of
1gig of space.  The reason is that I have to put some big files to be
downloaded few times a month..so bandwidth is issue.  50GB is fine and
all..but 100GB or higher is sweet...and then most importantly the price is
a factor.  With godaddy I get it under 10 bucks per month.  But
reliability is also there?  Please suggest..

I looked at Canaca <-- 200GB bandwidth and 10gigs webspace for 4
bucks/month..but reviews for this are horrible - i mean really bad

Dreamhost? I could not find that much reviews on this?

There is Aplus.net and lunarpages.  But I get a lot less from this
compared to the previous ones.

So Ale'rs would you be kind to suggest me good decent webhosting
service...or Should I go with godaddy? or others on ....

Thanks once again :)
