	Dreamhost gets mostly good reviews, whereas some of the other large 
WHC's get mostly bad reviews, e.g., 1&1 and GoDaddy. RackShack (or 
RackSpace? Cannot remember) gets mixed reviews. HostGator is another 
option, except that they use (or _formerly_ used) cPanel, which was full 
of security vulnerabilities, leading to several, severe compromises on 
HostGator's network. I probably would not choose HostGator. Then there 
is the Planet (in Houston?) -- don't know much about them.

	Interestingly, the magazine "Web Host Industry Review" is a _lousy_ 
source of information on the Web hosting industry, contrary to what one 
might think.
