ICDSoft: Why I recommend this webhost

ICDsoft is my web hosting service of choice

I've used ICDSoft to host my main website since Feb 2003, and I've recommended it to my mother for her educational software business. (If you recommend something to Mom it had better be good.)

Highlights of My Account

~ Tons of storage space/data transfer (1GB/20GB per month for the basic account, twice that for the business account)
~ compact, efficient, easy-to-use control panel for file upload and many other goodies
~ They'll register a domain name for your site for $5. One-time-fee.
~ You can add 15 different subdomains (e.g. in addition to www.sporks.com, you could have my.sporks.com, steel.sporks.com, plastic.sporks.com)
~ Set up and manage an unlimited number of mailboxes, up to 30 different mailing lists.
~ RELIABILITY. The only time it's ever gone down, the entire net infrastructure of Hong Kong had gone on the blink. That doesn't happen often. (It just so happens my website is actually housed on one of their Hong Kong division servers. They've got some in the US, some scattered overseas.)
~ Good online tech support. They answer email within twenty minutes or so, 24/7.
~ Backup and Restore functions, not that I've ever needed (or used) em. Good for a business to do once in a while, though.
~ A lot more features I've never gotten around to using... sql support, PHP, lots of handy little scripts, traceroute, and other things of use to real techies

Price

There's a business account if you need more bandwidth/storage space. It's $10/month.

My account is $5/month. Very, very reasonable for this kind of service.

Always Improving

They've also slowly upped my account features over the years without upping the price. It used to be something like 100MB of storage space. That blossomed quickly to 333, and now it's a gig. Every time I fill up half my storage space, they seem to up the size of it. Neat! Also, it used to be only 5 subdomains; now it's 15. Other tools and features are getting added all the time.
