When I look at shared hosting I see companies such as godaddy, hostgator, bluehost. Should I be looking at them for shared hosting?

While the definition of best is subjective I wouldn't list a solution that the OP couldn't manage or maintain on their own without additional cost and/or overhead as the 'best' option.
It could be the best if the OP was a server administrator and/or wanted/enjoyed working with the server itself and managing it. If the OP has no interest in any of this then it would be pretty far from the 'best' solution for the OP.
Now I'm assuming the OP isn't a server administrator otherwise they likely wouldn't be here asking these questions - they'd have already sorted out a solution on their own.
Realistically not every site needs a VPS or Dedicated Server. In many cases it is extreme overkill and a waste of time/money/power/cooling/energy/thought. Personally I always advise the most reasonably priced service you can afford. No sense in spending $xxx/mo when $xx/mo or even $x/mo will do the job.
All of this said always maintain your own off-provider backups no matter who the provider is or what they promise. And no, for the record, storing your backups on the same server [even on a separate disk / network attached disk] is not sufficient to save you from catastrophe. Furthermore it's good to have a plan should your primary provider totally fail catastrophically - like plans on how you'd restore previously mentioned backups to a new provider quickly.Last edited by Mike - MDDHosting; 04-27-2016 at 12:22 PM.

Thank you. No I am not a server administrator or even remotely interested in becoming one. In the past the most that I have done is resell and having it all set up for me I just needed to use the plesk parallel panel to add a domain, set up an email, autoresponder etc. That is pretty much all i want to do. Would like to have the option to continue to add sites easily and emails... just no fussing with techie stuff. I like to contact an administrator if there are problems.... not that i've had any in the past. My guy was AMAZING, and the server fast and no downtime etc for over a decade (that I KNEW of.). So, I really would like someone else to say "just ftp up your sites, click on this button to set up your emails etc." and it will all happen quickly. I would point my domain names to the new server info and call it a day. AND have my own IP. I will read up more of the threads too to see. I did like the looks of a plan like the Business Pro on the Cloud at bluehost I just need to check out what my best options are cost and service wise.

Those are the pit bottom of hosting, avoid them like plague.
When talking about Canada, Crocweb and their upstream provider OVH are the first names coming to my mind; they both have a rather good reputation and are active - Crocweb is, I don't remember if OVH is - on WHT as well.My "ranking" is kidding.
I'm just a humble client, here to seek help and guidance from the true experts.
