I use Streamline and have been very satisfied. Like another said, initial
loading can be a bit slow but not bad. It's reasonably cheap for their
"unlimited" deal. I chose this because I want to upload a lot of images so
space might be an issue. I like the fact that the reasonable price isn't
achieved by inflicting adverts on my site :-) I pay for two years at a
time to get the best price!

I suspect that, with care, the "power" offering with 1.5GB of space would
suffice for most FH users.

I use the Linux server option rather than Windows server because that way I
get some facilities that I want that are not available on Windows (though I
use Windows for building my site).

Some hosts charge more for "Front Page Extensions" and they are normally
only available on Windows server hosts. I dislike proprietary extensions
like these, so don't use them, though I understand the attraction for some
users.

There are a number of good, free aids to website construction out there. I
find HTML-Kit's free version quite useful.
