who provides good webhosting?
 

I think it's time for me to get back into technology.

But I don't want to do the free-if-you-ignore-our-ads approach. I'm willing to pay.

I would like PHP and some sort of database access. The more I look into things, the more I realize I'm probably going to be poking a bit with drupal or something very similar.

This is pretty small scale, probably just a personal website, portfolio and some other crap. I'd be okay with just a few hundred megs of storage and I doubt my bandwidth use will be very high.

In the past I had a buddy running a freebsd box in his parent's basement, and that worked really nicely. I don't need perfect uptime.

Are there any mom & pop sorts of joints doing something like that?

I have no idea whether they offer the specs you mentioned. But I run off of bluehost.com, and I've been happy.

I love icdsoft. I have three professional websites and two personal ones with them, and they rock.
