Thanks alot, after going with many budget providers in the past, ive come to realise that you really -need- to shell out for a slightly more expensive provider if you want good support.
And when it comes down to it, you -need- good support, no matter who you are, if it takes them days upon days to get your package started up or they only seem to reply to tickets once a day, you're not going to be in for a good ride.

Nice thread. Main thing we have to confirm when choosing a webhost is
primary service of the web host is hosting the business.
the host is flexible in its server types, supported languages, and features.

"Research" is the first and foremost step. Select few companies on the basis of their reviews on internet (primarily discussion forums) and then go for inspecting their Ticket/or customer Support. I don't have people in my contacts which can help me to choose best possible company, but I have WHT with me.

Ultimately you need a reliable web hosting with good support. Anyone could manipulate everything including reviews. Until you check it out, you would not know. Better check with them their policy of payment, refund policy, network uptime and commitment they provide you and then decide web hosting to choose.

Very true and sometimes web hosts may have a button or icon on their site that allows users to see their uptime. Whether the up-time is managed by their own software or through a 3rd party site which can certainly help with putting the mind at ease. But again don't necessarily base your choice solely on that. These are just tools that you can put in place to help with determining the right host for you. There should always be multiple factors when determining the web host for you.

The "unlimited" claim is just nonsense, and this is often the case when advertise with shared hosting, web hosts do this because the knoe most small websites will never ever hit their limits, and offering "unlimited" is just a great way to advertise to them because they're completely oblivious to their actual needs.
I must rather prefer web hosts that will give you a data allowance, I remmember reading a incidence of hostmonster booting a website without warning because they excedded their files quantity limit which was in their small print, they offer unlimited storage, and then offer capped file size, and file quantity limits.. You can do the math and workout the max # of files x file size limit = max storage space, but apparantly it's OK for them to advertise unlimited storage space

I can't tell how many horror stories I have heard in regards to the unsuspecting public being "sucked" into unlimited this and that features. People feel if that they can get that in a plan, they are all set for everything they need down the road.
Having disk space and bandwidth are irrelevant to stability. So if every person that is on the same shared server as you have unlimited this and that, how would you expect the performance of that particular server to turn out? Seeing offers such as that should alone be enough to lead you away. Always figure at least 50-100 accounts on a shared server MINIMAL! Take into affect that each user can have unlimited resources is just plain silly. There isn't enough drive slots to accommodate everyone! Nor is there a 5FT data cable running from that server!
All the best!

What I've seen is a host put THEIR domain on an uptime check, yet they have their own domain on a server somewhere else. It's misleading as all (insert choice word here). Ionhosting was one such offender. The actual servers could be down for days (and they were!) and the uptime checker would still show 99.9% because the domain was on another machine with another host.

I couldn't agree more with you and I'm sure anyone else reading this article. Even if you know how to manage your site from every aspect, if issues occur that only the host can resolve, what good is your plan/account to you when you can't perform the necessary functions that you need to when your site is down OR you are experiencing issues that only root or administrator can resolve.
Thanks for the reply.

Sixfooterbaby: You won't need a dedicated server if this is start-up website. If you can e-mail me the details of exactly what type of dating script your using, I can better provide some answers but it sounds like for now, any sort of general hosting will work for you. Let me know if I can help.
