What is the best hosting for me ?

I wrote some small project using html and css on my pc. Now i'm looking for hosting where I can just transfer all my files to. The thing is - all the hostings that I know are providing some editors to make it easier to build a web site, but what I need is JUST an empty space to locate my work ... Please suggest some hostings for me =)

The web host I use for my simple proof of concept projects is host gator. They have really cheap packages and the online chat support is amazing. Now they also have the quick install option once you start getting messing around with stuff like wordpress.

hostgator.com

I use hostgator too as a testbed of sorts. I just have their micro-plan or whatever it is, like $10 a month going month to month. I've had good luck with them so far, and the one time I contacted their support I got a response and a resolution pretty fast from a human. Yay.

At this point I don't think I've logged in to my Hostgator account in months. I have the FTP credentials saved in CyberDuck, so when I need to make changes to the files on the server, that's all I use to get it done.

I changed to A Small Orange 6 months ago and it has been wonderful. 24/7 live support and the prices are very competitive. I have the Cloud VPS service so I can manage sites for multiple clients easily. If you are just playing around with your own site and personal projects they have a "tiny" shared hosting plan for $35/year.

I've heard nothing but good things about A Small Orange. It gets more and more intriguing to use them.
