Most of the "TOP x sites" list hosts based on how much their affiliate payout is or how much the host pays the review site to be listed. They are not the unbiased lists that you think they are.

As for the best 5 shared hosts, you can't say "X is best" when you haven't tried Y or Z, they could be even better.

Host can't recommend to them-self (against the forum rules) and probably nobody is going to recommend to their competition .
The only host that I used and can recommend is venturesonline.com, but they do not exist anymore under that name, now is data393.com, but don't know how the service is now under the new management. My experience was over 5 years ago.

Huh? Do you even read these forums. Plenty of hosts recommend others that they have tested or know are reliable...

To the OP; There is no Best host, only the best for You as SWR says. 99.5% of those so-called 'top 10' lists are simply bought. Don't trust them

I suggest checking out the offers section, find some hosts within your budget and that offer what you want. Then, search their names on WHT and read the reviews. Remember, try and stay away from $8 a month for 11gb space, 400gb like offers

Hope that helps

I read some forums.

No, sorry, I don't read these forums, I just signed up

As far as host recommending other host, unless they used their services, that's against the rules.
And I don't know many host being hosted by other host, unless they are new on the business or resellers.

I strongly agree what has been said here: my best is not your best. The recommendation - if you're going to get one - is going to vary case by case.

Do find support or reliability important? What kind of site did you mean by "200 active users"?
