I saw on the community profile that Dream Host is recommended, but I've been doing some internet review searches and they seem to have a good number of really bad reviews.

Does anyone have any other solid recommendations for web hosting? Currently I'm just wanting to create my own personal website for showing my work, etc - for potential employers to look at.

ETA: I also currently live in Ireland so I don't know if location will matter for recommendations. Like if the hosting is in the US, will my speeds be affected? I might be back in the US in several months, but not sure yet.

ETA: Thanks all for your comments and recommendations. I ended up going with InMotion because they seemed highly rated all 'round and they weren't outrageously expensive.

I am currently with Startlogic and I've unfortunately learned the hardware that they aren't as good as they once were or people said they are. As of October 16, Startlogic started 'migrating' users to a new platform. My migration date has come and gone. I am still not able to manually migrate my site to the new platform either. Tech Support still hasn't gotten back to me.

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that could give me some recommendations.

I'm looking for a provider with these features:

• >50 GB Storage
• >1TB Bandwidth
• PHP 5
• AJAX
• MySQL 5
• FTP
• SSH
• Word Press
• Photo Gallery
• Multiple domains
• cPanel

If Word Press or Photo Gallery aren't included that's fine. As long as I can install them on my own that'd be fine.
