I haven't heard anything about any of the major webhosts banning/refusing to take conservatives money. As long as your content is legal and not adult in nature all the big colos/webhosts will take you.

As conservatives, what are your experiences with webhosts?

Stay away from TRIPOD at any price.

The biggest concern for a web host is getting paid. The politics of a web site really don't matter, short of obvious taboos.

much of the internet is populated by liberal-to-extremely-leftwing individuals and their webhosting and service enterprises

I haven't found that to be the case at all. Actually the Internet is a great gift for democracy, where many diverse ideas can be opined and debated at length. You just have to choose your websites, thats all. In no way is it dominated by views from the left nor right nor horizontal nor vertical nor 45 degree angle nor ..... nuff said.

The political disposition of clientele shouldn't matter to a professional service provider. A business where such parameters would factor should be avoided, IMHO. Unless of course the price is just right. :-)

Anyway, I recommend checking out Verio webhosting. This site is co-located with Verio[1] and I've had nothing but a positively remarkable experience. Though I am coming from UUNET/WorldCom, where a root canal would be a positive experience, but I digress.

[1] Co-location isn't the same as webhosting, and in fact, are two separate divisions within Verio. But I figure the professionalism and courtesy I've experienced in the one would probably apply to the other as well.

All I can say - I have 20+ web sites hosted with:

http://www.forwardweb.com

for several years now - only rare problems, but ForwardWeb jumps on them and fixes everything quickly.

Not mine !

Hosting Matters (http://hostmatters.com/) is used by conservative bloggers such as Powerline, InstaPundit, Captain's Quarters etc.

What matters most in a hosting service are dependability and service. Politics shouldn't enter into it.

In the past I signed up my clients on APLUS.net, and they have been rock solid.

Over the last couple years I have been signing clients up with IPOWER.com. They are just as good as APLUS, cheaper, and offer more features.

I've been using Ipowerweb for several years now. I have several web sites with them and have never, ever had the slightest problem. They usually offer 3 Gig host, 40 gig/month bandwidth for under $100.00 per year including web domain registration. Enjoy!

I use Network Solutions. These guys pretty much run the Internet (as far as registering domains). They've been nothing but fair, and have never questioned my or my clients' content. And they only charge $9.95 a month for 3 GB of space, 50 GB of transfers and 25 mailboxes.

I use a service called Campaign Site Builder, run by Chuck Muth, a strong conservative political consultant. The service is targeted toward campaigns, but I have found it works fine for a conservative leaning site that includes several topics. You can scope out my site at www.libertycall.us. Or you can check out information on the service at http://www.campaignsecrets.com/cmd.asp?af=281743. It is also much cheaper that all other services I checked. I strongly recommend it.
