Where do you host your website, and why? Please give the country and the hosting company.

Domains.co.za primary (reliability and top notch support when shiat hits te fan)

OVH for international websites (affordable and punctual staff minus the time difference in Canada)
 
Vpsdime.com UK high spec vps for low price. & host1plus SA nice for small Linux boxes but gets expensive the more you need.
 
Godaddy (USA), Network Solutions (USA), 1and1 (USA), Bluehost (USA), Telasera (SA), Diamatrix (SA)

Don't trust any hosting 100% so multiple redundancy
 
Elitehost. Nice website, good prices, good service etc.

Hosted in SA.
 
Network Solutions and parent Web.com are among the most unethical, incompetent companies I have ever dealt with.

Agreed. They are very scummy

They still try and charge me $30 a year for a .com renewal. So I start the transfer process, before it completes (are you sure?), they offer me $10 . Very stupid , and crooked. My boss was paying this $30 a year until I pitched up

Currently using Domains.co.za as their Windows shared hosting is pretty cheap when you bundle a few of your sites together. Good service.

I might be needing international Windows hosting soon, so will keep an eye on this thread
 
Personal: Afrihost - cheap, great service.
Business: Hetzner - business decision.

Hetzner for most sites - Great service, great company.

Afrihost for some sites - Great company, used them since 1999 (they say they started in 2000, but were offering hosting in 99 already).
 
domains.co.za (SA) and godaddy (USA) for personal

Hetzner (Germany) for business
 
Afrihost - Great service. No down time in the past 5 years that I have been with them and they are always fast and efficient in replying to any queries
 
Hetzner for my business. Great service and they have both local and international servers.
