Today and tomorrow
- As Korean web hosting company, I had used for more than 10 years. But recently, stop the contract with the hosting company.
- Paid roughly $20 per month
- Restricted disk space, traffic, only one mySQL DB allowed
- No C-Panel, no script install
- Absolutely, no reason to spend money for this kind of service.
Bluehost.com
- Currently using this hosting.
- paying $6/month
- Unlimited space, traffic, email account, Database, literally no limited amount.
- C-Panel is easy to use for hosting management, and one of the best among other C-Panels.
- One click script istall, which cover almost 50s web applications, is so convenient, which is especially powerful because these application covers almost every open-source application out there. In this sense, Bluehost is one of the best.
- But, rather slow and force kill fast-cgi process which cause redmine (issue tracker) be much slow.
Hostgator.com
- Similar with Bluehost, sheap, unlimited amount, Panel and script install supplied.
- There is saying that redmine works faster in hostgator than in Bluehost, because hostgater support 'passenger' to be used.
- For this reason, Hostgator might be the next hosting service for me.
Discountasp.net
- One of my volunteering org. using it.
- Economic host for .Net web hosting. $10/month. (extra $10/m for MSSQL hosting)
- Not much function like Bluehost or Hostgator, but looks enough for .Net
godaddy.com
- $5.09(on sale)/m (with 1year contract) regardless Linux/Windows server
- Many leaved this site after GoDaddy publicly supported SOPA(Stop Online Privacy Act). LINK
- Godday 'Help pages' doen't work with Chrome properly in some menu.
- Used for MS hosting: a bit slow, but acceptable.
- Used for Linux: Slow and bumpy quite a lot. So, a site that I worked for retreated from it.
webhostforasp.net
- Price starts from $5/m (with 1year contract) (including 1 DB), which is so economic for ASP hosting.
- If I need to extend one more hosting other than linux, this might be good choice.
- fastest ping response out of 5 above.

Addition: For more serious service, Amazon and Rack Spaceam will be a good choice.
