Hosting - Are Streamline.net anygood?

can anyone recommend streamline?
Ive had a look and looks pretty good but not sure as im kinda new to all this

I currently have 1 website - which i have with Yahoo Small Business which is about $12 a month, and i get 5GB of webspace (which ive almost used up so was looking for one with (10GB-Unlimited)

Also im making a website for a friend, and hopefully a portfolio which ill be doing soon! - plus im making some websites for uni projects which i would also have plenty of room for!

I was looking at the £79.99 package which works out at about £6.67 a month - so roughly same as im paying now, but my friend will be paying for his site too - so will work out cheaper for me!

i have several domains (UK and US ones) on other websites which i could transfer across free too.

sounds good but just wanted to hear others opinions if they are or have been with them

I also have a gallery (php) which was set up and want to add a forum to one or more of the sites, from what i read that should be ok - hopefully!

Web Hosting by DreamHost Web Hosting: Web Sites, Domain Registration, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, all on Debian Linux!

I used to use these guys, work out very cheap if you search Google for a $96 coupon. Go for their cheapest package, as you wouldn't really need anything more than that, can't think of anyone that does.

Thanks! that looks good, with the coupon, paying 2 yrs comes to $94.80 - very cheap compared to others i was looking at.

what about for the future if i build sites for others and they want to edit / change files themself, can they have separate ftp/control panel or is it all together. - no need yet but you never know in a years time

Dreamhost allow you to create user accounts to access just that site's control panel, ftp and mysql I believe. I wouldn't buy 2 years, as there isn't much more of a discount. Buy 1 year, and if you like it stay with them.

For a years hosting at £10, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
