There is a compromise on cheap and reliable fast hosting. Most people think they need more resources than they actually do. If you go with an openvz hosting provider and you have a simple website, 64 MB will probably do the job. However, make sure you can upgrade with the provider easily, for when you need more. Ask if you can try the VPS out for a few days to make sure it suites our needs, many will let you.

As for the blue host and godaddy, submit a ticket after your a customer and see how long it takes you to get a response. The problem with large hosting companies is that you are one of 5 million customers, and your place in line is about 3 million.

Very well said. If you need peace of mind choosing a reliable web hosting provider is the only way. I have found a web hosting company that sells a plan (don’t ask if it has unlimited resource, because this is a commodity nowadays) that offers 5 terabyte of diskspace and 500 terabytes bandwidth per month just for 50 dollars and this isn’t a year by year fee but it is onetime fee for lifetime! Tell me who on earth will count on this firm? You have to wait in order this provider to close to say that it is a scam? Don’t you get it that it is ridiculous to trust this kind of practices? Web hosting is far more complicated than just diskspace and bandwidth. If you are completely ignorant of web hosting industry (my personal website) you can’t create a company by just outsourcing everything. Common sense and researching is your only weapon to the constantly expanding war of web hosting offers.

The best web hosting I recommend for bloggers is Hostgator. Base from experience, hostgator has 100% uptime. I never ever experienced any downtime for the past 8 months.

While there are no “perfect” hosts, some of them have established their names in the hosting industry that could be considered the most reliable ones. I never go for people offering hosting on Digital Point, after hearing so many horrific stories of people getting scammed, slow unresponsive servers and overselling. After all, many of them are resellers of other hosting companies selling their services on DP.

I host my sites on Hostgator, which is undoubtedly the best out of all mainstream hosting companies in terms of up time and customer support. They also oversell, but they know how to do their stuff.

I have myself written a post about how hosting companies are misleading innocent customers by using the “Unlimited” marketing jargon. If its allowed, here is the post link: http://www.domainmarvelous.com/featured_articles/unlimited-domain-hosting-how-unlimited/

Rule of the thumb:
Pay a few extra dollars with reputable hosts and never regret….
or
pay cheap now and get updated on your cursing 101 lessons…

I don’t believe in unlimited hosting at all. If there were really unlimited 2.99/month plans, then why do people bother paying $200+/month for dedicated servers? Nice post.

PS: What was wrong with your old host? Weren’t you using HostedFX?
