I've never heard of hosts charging setup fee's for hosting accounts.
The thing is you never know if a host will be good or bad until you try them yourself. I mean everyone needs are different. Do you have any other ones in mind?

Exactly. There are also some companies that have been around for quite a while (longer than 5 years) who are well respected, honest and successful who don't have 100% positive reviews and others who have very few if any reviews. There are also REAL web hosting companies with a happy customer base who don't even know WHT exists or customers that are too busy running their businesses to post reviews of their hosting company online. No company is going to be flawless 100% of the time. I guarantee you everyone on that list has had a customer who at one time or another was not happy about something with their service, whether the host was to blame or not, and they may simply have not taken the time to post a review.

I think he's just trying to point out that that list is far from comprehensive.

As an 11 year veteran of this IT industry, and owner of a REAL hosting and IT services company, I am amazed at how much "time some clients will "spend" looking to avoid a 5 to 15 dollar set up fee. That is time that they could spend making an extra sale or taking better care of their current clients. Or improving their own services.
The bottom line is that the company providing the service has to MAKE A PROFIT. Especially for REAL hosting companies. Who have REAL employees and REAL infrastructure to support.TeleSouth Network Inc.
