Searching, another thread recommended hostgator. I have used godaddy and think it is shit.

This is for my friends organic farm, maybe this one would be appropriate:

I use Hostgator.

I like them. Very much. Customer service is excellent, have not experienced ANY downtime in two years.

Recommend them highly.

Wow. A recommendation from a MOD! Yeah I like the idea of Gator. Gotta have cPanel.

Anyone have experience with supergreenhosting? A search seems to confirm that they are OK, and it would be appropriate for the client.
