It's a nice interface. But I think most of the big hosts are better.

I gotta have CPanel hosting.
Why is that? What does CPanel offer?

What do you need to do that's that complicated? web hosting is pretty trivial. even with no panel, you only need to know a minimal ammount of commands and sql.

I've always wondered this myself. Since I do most of my hosting via SSH to Linux and there is pretty much nothing to be done, I'm curious what benefits cPanel brings. Mostly you just copy files and set up new databases, right?

I have heard good things about DreamHost. They seem like a good place to look.
For us we need special hosting that most of those cannot offer. So we look at hosts like Heroku, Elastic Beanstalk, Joyent and OpenShift.

I am looking at Dreamhost. I am not looking forward to moving my website from one host to another, though
-
I saw DreamHost has SSD drives for all their webhosting plans. Think that will make a big difference in page load times?
-
@IRJ Some. But many hosts are doing this. It depends on how much load is on the shared storage. Ram plays a role in apache fetching pages as well as SQL queries.

Not a lot. Web servers rarely hit the disks.

Especially since I used caching on my site.

Exactly. And the OS caches nearly everything too. And what it doesn't, the DB does.
