I was with GoDaddy for years and consistently had lots of problems that would take sometimes up to three weeks to fix. In the mean time, the site was down.

More recently I've hosted with Brinkster. Great service, no downtime.Good price.

>Got a friend of mine who is going to start a small business. Would like recommendations for a place to host it. Nice if they have website templates and built-in file transfers. No need for eCommerce and all that for now.
