Hi James! I understand your distrust and fully respect your opinion. However, when it comes to creative freedom without limitations (including technology) I firmly believe that these three components will give you that. Now, naturally a small Wordpress blog may not necessarily require an entire server for itself and can run on Windows as well as Linux. However, in reference to the grand creative potential in web design and web development today, Linux and PHP is the future; Web 2.0 in a nut shell. That's my true opinion, now I can just hope you'll respect it :-) rather than turning on conpiracy theories ;-) Cheers/Brian Brian´s last blog post..4 Pro-Bono Free Wordpress Themes

It is so hard to find a good host…I think I must have been though a zillion hosts. I have my sites on a dedicated server and I finally found a server that puts customer service first. If I am allowed to say so, I use WiredTree. I like that they are honest. For example, If the server is slow or something and I ask if I should upgrade something on the server, they will tell me ‘no’ even though they would make more money if I upgraded. Instead they try to fix the problem. Best server company ever.

Thanks for the post.

This article is misleading, you don’t need a dedicated sever to simply host a site or as the article puts it “creative freedom and an optimal inspirational atmosphere”.. I assume all the author intended from this post was to stuff keyowrds/links, in this case, well done.

I’m not a regular visitor here–you’ve made it to the front page of DZone.com, congratulations! –but may I suggest NearlyFreeSpeech?
http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net

I am not affiliated with them, but I have been using for hosting for a good year now and love it. Great for minimalistic websites and very cheap. You only pay for what you use, $1/GB (and the average cost per GB actually decreases as you use more) and $1/32 MB storage per month. The support team is wonderful and they are very open about server issues and DDoS downtimes–even if it only affects a few sites. It uses FreeBSD, similar to Linux but more secure. No cPanel, but there is a member control panel, ssh, and sftp access and more.

Check them out if you’re looking to review small/mid-sized hosting.

Downside: No https capability due to IP allocation restrictions. But most small/mid-sized hosting wouldn’t require it anyway.

Hey Ryan. That’s a great question. We actually don’t work with the largest web hosting providers like MT at the moment. We have chosen to work with small-medium businesses (though not those freaky fly by night operations) since they cater more towards very small shared sites.

We are also expanding our list to include some of the famous guns (Slicehost and Dreamhost) in the upcoming months.

And thanks to Adelle who allowed us at WHS to post! You go girl! (okay…I’m lame, i’ll stop now…)

MediaLayer is not a bad one.
But at webhostingsearch, why I see other sites as popular hosting, but not sites like MT, Dreamhost, Slicehost, Lasso and etc?

Thanks Kyle, your a regular around here so I wouldn’t assume you were trying to just post links for the sake of posting :) Feel free, that’s what it’s all about! Will check out “medialayer”.

I just found out about another hosting provider today that comes highly recommended.

They are called “Media Layer” and they claim “We can make your application SCREAM”

I want post a link to their website as I’m not trying to sell them to anyone, but if you’re interested just google their name “medialayer”.
