hosting advice

Aloha,

I need some hosting advice.

I'm currently using elevated hosting. The things I like about them:

1. Great customer service, very fast replies to emails and very helpful
2. Very good stats and very good uptime
3. Low price - $7.99/mo for base plan at 50MB storage and 2GB bandwidth

This is all I have needed so far (yes I am small fry; I'm not even using half my bandwidth yet). I'm finally going to break down and build some avs sites though, and I want to use .htaccess to prevent hotlinking.

EH doesn't offer .htaccess (Windows/IIS) but has similar product for $20 setup and extra $10/month, so this would increase my monthly cost. Also I will prolly start exceeding 2GB/mo BW and the overage charge is $4.00/GB unless I bump up my plan.

So should I stay with EH or should I move to a host that offers .htaccess? If you think I should move, who would you recommend, keeping in mind the three things I like about EH above.

Mahalo
