Hostmonster might be good if you're just creating a web site for personal use, but if you're building a professional site its not.
I manage several web sites for my clients and hosted all of them.

Ive had so many problems, Hostmonster forces you to contact their tech sup to set up certain features that other hosts allow you to do yourself.

Unfortunately, I spoke to other webmasters/web designers who had the same problem with them.
