I've been using Ultima Hosts as my web host since April, 2007. The main reason I got a web host was so I could mess around a bunch of stuff that I couldn't of done otherwise (even though I spent many years as a web developer, I never really got into the admin stuff). I spent weeks searching for a good host, unfortunately I had no idea how to determine if a host was good or not so I ended up asking the ch 9 community for a recommendation and they led me to Ultima.
