Need cheap hosting... Should I buy 1 year plan from someone or cheaper to go month to month?

Where is the bests ace to buy from?

I'm using bluehost shared hosting

Legit? Bulletproof? What are you planning to do?

I use hostgator Which has never given me problems. Bluehost is good,Hostwinds is very good depends what you want.

Dreamhost is definitely the best of all the hosts I've tried (godaddy, hostgator, hostable, netfirms and doteasy). It's got more features than any other hosts (stuff like ruby on rails, perl etc.). They even offer free 50gb backups. When you sign up, you get a free 2 week trial.

If you use someone's affiliate coupon, you can even get a $50-100 discount

Hostgator is decent but not as good as dreamhost.

Never use godaddy's hosting. It will make you want to kill yourself.

HostGator has been loyal to me for the past 7 years or so.
Best server speed that I have ever used.

I've used -
HostGator
GoDaddy
1&1
and a few others that where offshore.
