[support] hosting

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Simone,

I'd base my hosting decisions on the level of service, and also the 
price. If you need service, I'd recommend spending a little more money, 
as the higher priced hosting plans generally come with better service.

As to the latency issues wrt hosting in Europe or the States, I'll let 
someone else answer that. My feeling/experience is that it won't make 
much difference on a good host, but I'd like to hear from someone who 
has more experience in that area on this.

WRT recommendations in the hosting forums on d.o -- my recommendation 
there is to stay away. Unfortunately, unbiased information from the 
hosting forums on d.o is hard to come by. Often, people recommend 
hosting companies because they have an affiliate relationship, and get 
money when people sign up.

Cheers,

Bill
