I would like to take a few moments to thank (and recommend) the webhost which hosts TakeItApart, HostPC.
Hosting disassembly images is quite bandwidth intensive, and HostPC’s reasonably generous bandwidth quotas allows TakeItApart to continue. Last July TakeItApart was able to survive — and remain operational — during a BBC mention and digg front-page promotion largely because of HostPC’s stable servers. It may be a bit pricier than other webhosts per gigabyte of bandwidth transfer, but they make up for it with real, reachable service people. I’ve never had a service ticket go more than twelve hours without a response, and have even spoken (via phone) with the owner when a rare outage occurred last spring.
HostPC is based near Syracuse, NY with a datacenter in Florida. They’re currently undergoing some sort of rebranding to be called “Yareo” (strange, I know), but they stress they will remain the same. Unlike large corporate hosts which have unreachable service and inconsistent uptime, it has been my experience that HostPC tries to personally serve its customers. I urge anyone looking to switch hosts or start a website to give them a try.
EDIT: It seems that for an indeterminate amount of time HostPC is offering free hosting. (100MB space/2GB bandwidth) Not huge, but a nice start for someone looking to experiment with a webhost with PHP/MySQL/Perl/Ruby on Rails.
