i have not been able to understand why a hosting company needs to have a NASCAR theme(?).

HostGator looks OK.

really, like i say reliability and service are priorities for me ahead of real low cost.

thanks, i found a number of really negative reviews for BlueHost, but similarly, who knows if those were just generated by their competition.

really what i need is reliable hosting. it seems so odd to me that they all seem to be competing on price more than anything. bad service can end up costing a small business much more than a few dollars extra month.

the closest i have gotten to committing is with HostGator. how are they?

yes, this is exactly the problem. WordPress resizes my images at uploading, and it also lowers quality substantially.

it seems there isn’t much on the WordPress.com forum.

a search for “image quality” returned the following pretty thin results:

a query that i might come back here with is the ease or difficulty with which i might switch to www.remarpro.com if i find a need to do so. for right now it looks as though .com is better option.

thanks, i did not even know about this distinction. it is all explained here.

this is one more new thing on top of a mountain of other stuff that i have to do–decide on www.remarpro.com vs. WordPress.com. sheesh!

well if anybody might know off-hand how to fix this for my WordPress.com hosted blog i would really appreciate any advice.

jriggs, if you saw my pictures next to the originals the difference would be clear. i have viewed in a few different browsers. the problem is definately on the hosting end.
