Update: AllureHost is no more. I've moved to StableHost and I'm happy with them.
I looked at many other webhosting choices. Nobody seemed to know much about allurehost. But when I found out I could configure what I wanted for only a few dollars a month, I figured I'd try it.
I was happily surprised! The few questions and problems were responded to quickly. The servers seem to be up all the time and are fast.
