Web Hosting : What host to choose?

What host to choose?Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

This web hosting thread started by pena on 04 October 2008

I’ve been reading many hours on forums etc and found that from “Unlimited and cheap” hosts: HostGator > Lunarpages > HostMonster & BlueHost > Dreamhost. Other than that, I’ve really only looked for servage.net and some people seems to have problems with it.

So most important features for me:

- Price. No more than 10$/month (one domain and whois security must be included) and no additional costs.
- Uptime.
- Transfer speeds (at least 400kb/s, 500kb/s as minimum constant is good enough).
- Unlimited domains can be added (so I can host my friends small sites as well).
- 200-100Gb disk space is enough.
- At least 1Tb/month bandwidth.
- Host don’t shut down my sites and stuff if there’s photoshopped versions of images I don’t originally have rights to. For Example must be host that asks to remove them, not shutting down my sites and ending my contract.

I live in Scandinavia if that information matters (should I use European or North American host?).
