I am a web designer with a business and need a very reliable hosting provider. I work with flash, fireworks, dreamweaver, and photoshop cs2. At first I was with yahoo until I foun out they did not allow .htaccess files, with globat, my site was down too much, I am with go daddy right now and I am trying to use a simple .htacces and .htpasswd file to protect a directory and the screen pops up, but it won't let me into my site. I have a business to run and don't have time for issues like these. i know that my code is correct and have tried several times, I even copied and pasted. Tech support was uinable to diagnose prob also. Any suggestions for another hosting provider that will allow monthly payments. i don't want to lock in anywhere until I know I will be satisfied.

http://www.DependableHost.net is the host for you! Because you are a designer - get one of their reseller accounts (starts at around $20) and you can host unlimited domains, maintain complete control over them - and have a seperate login for the clients as well. .htaccess is totally compatible.
I HIGHLY recommend http://www.DependableHost.net - I've gone thru all the "big" hosts - and the customer service and knowledge slacks so much because they've got phone calls coming 24x7x365. I've found DependableHost.net and I'll never switch away. As soon as you get your account, you're assigned a "service rep" who is dedicated to your account. I get a phone call every month or so from him asking how things are and if everything is working ok. I also got a christmas card this past week personally signed by him.
I've never had my site go down once and I've been with them for 1.5 years now!
You can try them for 30 days free now! Give 'em a shot! I Guarantee that you'll be impressed!

You should check out hostgator. They have great support and are very reliable. They also offer great value. You can host unlimited domains for $10 a month. Use their live support or 800 number and ask about your problem with .htaccess. You should always contact any provider you are considering and ask a question or two to check out their support and make sure you can contact them. Here is a link. Good luck!
