which hosting companies have you noticed come w/ the most features...price excluded

i guess my post wasn't very interesting...i just can't seem to filter through all this mess. there are just way too many hosts. obviously i want the most for my money but i want to stay from reseller accounts. my experience w/ them has been aweful.

Do you have examples of an awful experience with a reseller.
If you do your research it shouldn't matter a lot if it is a reseller or not. Obviously some children out there take advantage of the accesability of a reseller account but they should be easy enough to weed out.

To answer your question, most hosts will offer similar features. Choose a few hosts in your price range and compare what they are offering. A Cpanel host might offer different things than an Ensim host but they will be similar.
I think you should approach your search by determining what you need and then shop for hosts that fit your needs. If your needs are modest why worry about all of the bells and whistles.

I agree with blue here.

Many hosts offer similar features.

As blue stated, the most you can do, with so many hosts being available, is choose two that fit your budget, and go from there.

I would also recommend figuring out, in advance, what you need, and what you don't need.
