Web Hosting : HELP! Shared Hosting Providers

By hostgator on Sep 12, 2008 in Discuss Hosting

Host unlimited blogs, websites for $4.95 only with this web host
or order a planet alpha dedicated server for less than $50 here

Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

After my days and days of research, even here on WHT, I’m still not sure which is my best choice for a shared hosting provider for my needs. I am NOT looking for the cheapest. I want the best and will pay for it. I’m a tech consultant (obviously not in the website arena) and will be hosting at least 3 sites (personal and business). Here is what I am looking for:

(I registered my domain names with Dotster and in 3 days I still can’t get anyone to answer the phone and the live chat has been a 15-20 minute wait just for an answer on their hosting plans, so round the clock support is important!)

24/7 support that is quick to respond
Reliability and high % of uptime
Great sitebuilder tools
A company that doesn’t oversell with UNLIMITED and cheap plans
A company that has high ratings in customer satisfaction
Ability to purchase my hosting plan online using Paypal is a plus

I’ve read about lots of nightmares here and I’d really like to avoid them. Until I started doing my research, I had NO IDEA how many hosting providers there are! I expected to make some comparisons and be able to make an informed decision, but this is confusing!
