What I am asking for are recommendations from people who have personal experience over a long period of time with a web hosting service they would recommend.
I have been with a web hosting service in Florida named FutureQuest since about 1998. I chose them at the time because they had an exceptional review in an in-print, major monthly PC magazine and they have lived up to that reputation -- except in the last year. In the last year, I have experienced many mail server down times, the most recent of which is in its third day of ZERO mail. Neither their pop nor smtp servers nor web mail are working.
So now I am looking for a new, reliable service.
I don't really need much, a pop mail server and a small amount of web space. I do need some web space but not much as I don't have a web site per se, but I do occasionally upload a file or two for someone to download.
So, for those of you who might have long-standing experience with a reliable web host, whom would you recommend?
