Ive been with my stupid webhost since 2002 or something.
I can't stand them anymore. I need to switch. What does anyone here use? Do ppl still have websites?

just keep in mind, with SEO's speed is what you need, im with (mt) I have both their grid and their wordpress hosting, their wp hosting is fast as fuck, their grid is slow as fuck but still faster than bluehost, I was on bluehost last year for a few months, but they were so slow I went back to (mt)

I've been a Linode VPS customer for over 6 years, no complaints at all, but you need to configure it from scratch.

Google App Engine all day. It's free up to a certain threshold, which is quite large. Easily large enough for portfolio sites and a decent portion of small businesses.
Their docs are a bit on the technical side (as opposed to some hosts which do everything for you), which may scare off people not comfortable with some basic scripting.
It supports PHP, Python, Java, Go, and can do VM's. The VM's aren't on the free tier though (I think).
If you had an all javascript portfolio site, for example, you would just use the Python version, and it's simple http server. It really is piss easy to get going once you get a grip on their methods.
Can't beat free!
- You can mix and match servers too. I have a project with a go backend server / python frontend server.section_014
