Thanks to everyone who responded with a serious, constructive reply. I used to work in the industry. When I can have access to shared hosting for 1.15 a month for the first year, and 3.24 a month thereafter, for up to three web sites, then that seems to me to be worth a look. Of course, I need to review all these recommendations for companies to see what best serves my computing needs. Thanks again! Daniel Villarreal On 12/21/15 17:26, Nigel Auger wrote:
You may also want to check out dreamhost.com <http://dreamhost.com> if you don't mind using a US based service. You get shell access with their standard hosting plan and they seem to offer unlimited everything (data storage, data use, hosted web sites, users, etc.). You get one free domain and, I believe, unlimited subdomains ("something.dreamhosters.com <http://something.dreamhosters.com>") which are great for experimenting, informal blogging, etc.. I use the shell access regularly for socks proxy browsing and watching US based entertainment. If you are not in a rush, I suggest waiting for one of their promotions. I literally paid something like $10 for an entire year when I first started using them. Also, the lifehacker.com <http://lifehacker.com> blog usually reports when they have a deal on or when lifehacker themselves have a Dreamhost promotion code that readers can use.

I'm looking for web hosting, for my own projects... anyone have any recommendations?
Why not make your own? A Linux box makes an excellent server.
Making my own interests me, mainly for the experience. I'm not a computer guy but did set up a file server for the house at one point and would like to do it again. Adding a web server would be an interesting project, although it might be too much for my skill level.
Most distros have a webserver installed, if not by default, then selectable through whatever package management tool you use.
I have Apache running on the laptop I'm currently using as my main machine. I develop my sites locally and then upload them to hostgator when ready.
