Today I purchased the domain name for tomtoronto.ca, as well as web hosting services from Hostpapa.ca. After filling out the purchasing forms I was contacted within 20 minutes or so to confirm it. I missed the cell call, so they sent me an email about two minutes later.

So far the minimal interaction I have had with Hostpapa’s staff has been excellent. The response time is the fastest I’ve yet encountered, and the staff is courteous and helpful. I hope this trend continues, because I’m certain to have questions in the near future!

If you’re looking for a web host, take a look at Hostpapa’s site. You get a lot of bandwith and storage space, 99.9% uptime guarantee and a free domain registration. The three factors that swayed me were: 1) It’s Canadian; 2) It’s 100% green energy powered (by wind, I believe); and 3) They have phone and email support with a lot of availability.

Oh did I mention it’s cheap? Hostpapa and I have this in common. With a coupon I found through google, it’ll end up costing about $5.11 a month before taxes for the next three years.

Enough with the promotion. What it means is that this website will soon be moving! Stay tuned for a new and improved PR for the People,  links and details to follow.

In the meantime, if you are paying for a blog, which host are you with? Any recommendations or hosts to avoid? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments!
