So, I have had my website hosted for a couple of years with yahoo small business. Within the past two to three months I have run into several problems with them, spent hours on hold, and have been nothing but dissappointed. Currently the problem is that my website won't display my pictures properly due to an image cache problem on their end (they already admitted to it being their problem over the phone). Previously it was a problem with running php on their hosting, something that took them several days to fix, and even then it was iffy. I'm getting really sick of all of these problems, and am looking for a new host. Here's my issue:

It seems to me like 99% of all of the "website host rating" sites are owned by the sites themselves.

So, currently I am looking at hostnine.com or hostgator.com

Anyone familiar with these, or have other suggestions?

My requirements:
Can handle a mostly flash website, including a php flash form. VERY VERY HIGH or unlimited hosting space and bandwidth, lets me pay once a month or once every three months (not a years worth or more, too much $$$), allows me to keep a wordpress blog, can have multiple ftp logins, and prefferably lets me host multiple domains in one account.

Thoughts?

American Data Technologies www.localweb.com 7 years with only one 2 hour long downtime about 5 years ago. Pricey but if you're serious, they rock. Excellent support too.

I am with LunarPages and find them the best. Economical and more than enough space and programmes for your needs.

Not sure if it fits your needs, but I am with smugmug. They are specially designed for photographers. The yearly fee is around $150.00. That may seem like alot but within the first 3 months I have made over $200.00 from parents of the sports I shoot, and I don't feel like I am that good yet. I am not sure if you can use flash with them but their customer service, both to you and your clients, is awesome. You can take a look at my site if you like (it's not as good as others I have seen because I SUCK at html). If you decide to go with them you can use a couple bucks by using my referal # db57MnDYkv9Yw
