Okay, I'm back and going thru these replies.

GoDaddy is one that I need to get away from.  Yes, they are very=20
reliable, but run things in a non-standard way, and their webmail (which=20
is all I use them for currently) is bloated and annoying. I like really=20
lightweight webmail apps, and Horde etc works nicely.  GoDaddy also had=20
the major annoyance of having to click through a dozen pages of add-ons=20
whenever I renew something.

Kionic (where I have a couple domains hosted currently) has changed for=20
the worse.  Lots of downtime, especially with email, support changed to=20
operate only on weekdays now, etc.

I'm avoiding running anything myself, and prefer to become an end-user=20
now, so I'm steering away from VPS.  I don't mind paying a bit more for=20
good uptime, and a faster server.  Also, I'm probably going to setup a=20
small e-commerce store on one of these domains, so having ZenCart or=20
similar is a plus.

Of all the suggestions so far, lunarpages is looking pretty good. I can=20
reach someone at this time (in case of a crisis) and they have all the=20
features I need... $20/mth is fine.  I'm actually thinking of splitting=20
up some of these domains over a couple hosts as in the past, a server=20
down means all of my domains are shutdown.  I'm generally worried about=20
hosts that allow unlimited bandwidth, as it will probably mean others=20
will abuse it and slow down the server, but I'll take it for a spin I=20
guess.  Dreamhost also looks good so a couple basic websites will=20
probably go there.

Thanks,
-Neil.
