Website hosting provider

Does anyone know of an excellent website hosting provider who works with WordPress in an an Apache/Linux environment? And is reasonably priced?

Someone here recommended uk-based 34sp.com a long time ago and I tried them and have been with them for 2 or 3 years now. Seem very good and cheap too just under 28 quid a year (http://www.34sp.com/personal-hosting) . Not in China though, but for an extra 10 pounds a year you can get your own IP address which makes it unlikely that your site will be banned by the Great Fire Wall. They have a script that will install wordpress on your site for you too.

To quote H.L. Mencken...
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

You can check www.sinohosting.net , based in Shanghai but with clients in Beijing as well. You can choose between China and Overseas/US hosting.

Re: Website hosting provider

OP. if this is to put up a new nongminer website, i still don't think it would be safe hosting it on a chinese server. big brother would take it down eventually. your best bet would be to host it on something that they would never block because of the number of local users. e.g. facebook.

Words have a spirit of their own, watch out they they don't come back to haunt you.

Shocking maybe, but you will have your site back to your idea of normal in less than 36 hours. A check of the site reveals this message, You didn't think it was that easy, did you? See you soon Wink

Re: Website hosting provider

if only i earned RMB 1 for every insult hurled.

Or perhaps I could charge per expletive.

Best yet, I could take ebay-style bids for certain key terms and ideas, like:

-- Bobby pays per smiley
-- Alex The Droog pays per reference to anal sex
-- Herojuana pays for each usage of the term Chinese person
-- holabaloo pays for each post about the killing of disabled infants
-- Aier2 pays for each reference to the nongminer

I'll be rich!
