Unix Hosting

Our picks for the top Unix-based web hosts.

Top Shared Unix Web Hosts

Unix is the most popular web platform, in whatever flavor you find it. When I say "unix hosting", I include linux, the sundry BSDs, and the proprietary unixes. By my way of thinking, unix is unix and unix hosting is unix hosting, by whatever name.

There are some excellent deals out there if you can find them. There are, sadly, also lots of hosts that overcharge and underdeliver. I hope that my reviews will help guide you to the former and steer you clear of the latter.

Here are my choices for the best in shared Unix hosting.
