Hi Peachey, thank you. I hear GoDaddy is for those who don't need technical support, ie. those who can handle their own problems. Yes, I also hear that Dreamhost is good.
What do I mean by "I have to set up my own database manually"? Usually when you set up your wiki, the program will help you install your database. But with Hostgator, it says that there is no database. I asked Hostgator about it and they say I didn't create my database. I have to go to Cpanel and then create the database, using the Database Wizard. I don't have this problem with my two other webhosts.
I am now looking at Serverpoint.com, previously known as APlusHosting.com. It's price is midrange, not the cheapest nor the most expensive. But I am tired of technical problems, so I don't mind paying a bit more.

Hi, can anyone recommend me a good *multi-domain webhost* to host my Mediawiki? I am with Siteground. They are good but they are now asking me
to
upgrade to VPS hosting @ US$99 a month although I only use 0.5% of my
hard
disk allocation and 0.3% of my bandwidth allocation.
I tried Hostgator but the installation is not automatic. I have to set up
my
own database manually and I am worried that there will be many features
that
they can't handle, just like my local webhost in Malaysia. They just give you a hosting and that's it! Hostgator honored their money-back guarantee and promptly refund my money.

You might like to look at Minthost http://minthost.co.uk/ and i've heard of GoDaddy and DreamHost success stories, but what do you mean by "I have to set up my own database manually"?
