Click through for a useful discussion on finding the right website hosting company if you use Movable Type.

In the first weeks of October, 2004, LMT conducted a survey of Movable Type users regarding their web hosts. The survey had 234 responses and participants were drawn from visitors to Learning Movable Type, the MT Support Forums, and the MT Professional Network. The 234 responses represented more than a 130 different web hosts. Of these web hosts, only 20 had 2 or more responses. For the purpose of identifying the most MT-friendly web hosts, I have chosen to focus on those web hosts that had multiple responses (3 or more), to help give the resulting data more relevance.

Of the 234 respondents, 90% were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their web host, and 90% would be very likely or somewhat likely to recommend the web host to another. There was very little differentiation among satisfaction ratings for the most popular web hosts. However, there was a wide range of responses when questioned specifically about reliability, support responsiveness, and MT-focus.
