I have recently been through an EXTREMELY stressfull hosting experience.
So I have some STRONG suggestions.

If your income and business relies on your site being up...
If you want to be able to sleep at night...
Don't go cheap and don't take the advice or one or 2 people...
Do through research at Web Hosting Talk

That forum is filled with REAL host reviews that contain both good and bad for almost any host you can think of. And if someone complains they have to prove to mods that are hosted with that host to insure its not just another hosting company trying to tear down a competitor.

It IS true that every host out there has unhappy customers.
Even Lexus customers sometimes get a lemon.

Some hosts are good at shared and not at dedicated.
Some excel at VPS but don't do other hosting well.
AND some hosts that have had good rep for a long time
go down hill and there support is no longer any good.

HOWEVER if you do deep research at WHT you will see the patterns.

BE SURE TO READ THE COMMENTS IN THE BLOG BELOW.
Several of us that are fairly big bloggers have been having hosting problems.
There are some important host warnings, things to look out for and check with your host about especially if you use WordPress and some good recommendations about solid hosts.

The Worst Mistake A Webhost Can Make… | Andy Beard - Niche Marketing

If your site is earning good money and you want to sleep at night
you REALLY need to research before selecting a host or moving to a new one.
Some of the recommendations in that thread about the ways to research are priceless.

I want to say some more about this because it is a fantastic resource about web hosting. It would benefit a lot of people if they would look into some of the vast amount of information it contains.

In an effort to try to provide people with some very useful information that they might not be aware of, I'm going to start highlighting some of the articles so that possibly some people will read them and see how helpful they are. Then they will realize there are 401 articles and they are are extremely helpful. They provide people with information that many people aren't aware of and it help them with just about any web hosting issue they can think of.

I will start with this one: Ask Your Prospective Web Host the Right Questions.

There are some very important questions that people should ask. Most people only ask some basic questions and ignore some real important ones they should ask because they aren't aware of them. You will find them in this article. Take a look and see how many of these question you would ask and also make yourself aware of them so you will know what to ask when looking for a web hosting company.

I have heard from a couple of people who found the "Ask Your Prospective Web Host the Right Questions" very helpful and they learned some things they were not aware of.

I thought I would highlight another helpful article in this great source in hopes that a few people will read it since it is also very helpful.

As I previously said, just about everything you could ever want to know about web hosting is covered in great detail in this source and it does a very good job.

Switching hosts can be a very big pain. There is so much that needs to be considered in order to do it right. This is a link to an article from this source which does a fantastic job of covering everything in "Web Hosting - Points to Remember When Switching Web Hosts." Just scroll down the page a little to see the article.
