ahh.
Im currently with joyent but now need to move to a host that accepts paypal. Is anyone using a host with a good multiple site plan that takes paypal? i see that theres no recommended hosting page anymore.

Yes, since 2004. I’ve not used other hosting so I can’t compare — Dreamhost has always worked well for me. N.B. I just use them for a few, relatively low-traffic sites, on a shared hosting plan. Downtime has been pretty rare, and I have found their email support to be responsive and helpful. YMMV.

ahh! they’ve stopped taking pay pal as well…

Check out some of the hosts on this list. Most probably don’t accept Paypal though.

i probably will be soon. they seem to have a pretty good rep from what i’ve read on various sources.

heres some coupons as well (i checked the first two, ‘aso5’ and ‘aso15’. both still work). i don’t have an ASO account yet so no, they’re not affililate links to me

thanks iblastoff,
Im going to give a small orange a try for now.
Dreamhost has a good offer on virtual private servers at the moment though. Im going to change banks so i can get a debit card. There so hard to get here…anyway thanks

I think mediatemple accepts paypal.

UK hosting will be fast for you and I recommend any of these:
EUKhost
Orchard Hosting
Web-Mania

The last one accepts Paypal. Unfortunately you are a day late to get a year for £9.99

Edit: Orchard also now accept Paypal :)

hi zero,
thanks those look good but i went with the media temple grid service. At 200bucks/year for 100 sites it looks like the best value on the web even without factoring in the weak dollar exchange rate. Apparently its as stable as it gets as well. Also i immediately liked the control panel.
Cheers to everyone else that helped me in the search as well.

edited to say actually zero those deals look really good… oh well im happy enough.

Are you sure? I recently renewed my account with them using Paypal and the paypal option is still on my admin panel billing screen.
