For Dutch hosting I highly recommend http://versio.nl. They are cheap (USA-like pricing) and you get superb hosting in terms of quality and speed. Their support is good, too.

I have some sites running there and I can say I'm very impressed. Lots of bang for your buck.

I must say, cheap indeed (starting at €0,50 Oo) but also limiting (bandwith, storage space and it doesn't even say anything about SSL).
And a shitload of domain names (starting at 25) is fun, but I don't think I'll use that much.

I'd like to point out that there is no such thing as "Unlimited" Bandwidth or Disk Space. No Hard Drives exist with Infinite storage space. Usually "Unlimited" is a synonym for a Fair Use Policy; which depends on the hoster itsself what's allowed. Usually when use a lot of Disc Space or Traffic, your hoster will start bitching.

25 domains is what you can host on your account. I think that 9/10 users will never host that much domains, so don't worry too much about it. I'd like to point out that you shouldn't confuse this with 25 domain names being included, it's just the abillity to host those domain names.

SSL is supported; the Server has a Shared Certificate but this is Self-Signed and therefore won't be trusted by any Web Browser at all (Imagine going to an airport with your own, self crafted Passport, Customs wouldn't trust that either; only if that Passport is issued by a trusted authority, will Customs trust that Passport). For a *real*, legit SSL Cert you need a Dedicated IP address, for which Versio wants €3,- monthly, which equates to €36,- per year. Also, all prices listed are excluding VAT. (Exclusief BTW, dus prijs * 1.19)

Also, exactly why would you desire SSL? It's not really needed except for Web Shops or the like. If you intend on running a Web Shop, I would advise against hosting it on Shared Hosting, but would rather have a VPS with it's own IP, this offers much more freedom and speed, but desires more knowledge of Linux.

Finally, 20 GB Data Traffic per month is quite a lot and so is 1,5 GB of Disc Space, especially for that kind of money. It's only €6,- (Or €7,16 incl. VAT) for a year, I don't think you can really go wrong with that and give them a try.

If you're still doubting, check out the reviews on ISPGids: http://www.ispgids.com/ervaringen/versio (Be advised: This site is in Dutch and therefore not interesting for a lot of readers)

Every so often, I get this positive feeling that humanity can somehow, possibly attain pure awesomeness, and enlightenment, and that there is light at the end of the road for us all. However, I only need to go to the latest HUD thread at RenForums to remind me of how dumb I was for thinking such stupid things.
