Does anyone know if the $20 a month for their cheapest shared hosting package is worth it? I'm moving hosts from Swivelhost, and was looking at them as an option (because I know they are reliable). I know I won't use the space, but is it fast and is the support really that great?

There are threads on WHT about them, so visit the forum and use a search option there. It's one of the threads.

My personal recommendation is shared hosting from webhopstingbuzz.com, cheap, feature-rich with free domain names.

From what I know, there was issues with the Grid-Service when it was first launched, but those problems have long been rectified now... although I personally can't vouch for that as I have a Dedicated-Virtual server with (mt) and have only ever had that. Needless to say I have had no problems with my (dv) and the few times I did need to contact support, they were great.

Was great for ages for me ...

But now support times SUCK, and my control panel won't even let me delete domains so I've got around 60 all stuck in my thing ... it's hard to find the sites I've still got.

I have always had a good service from Host Gator?
Why not try them.
