What is considered the Best Host?

[mo4am]

What does everyone consider to be the Best Host? What features should an excellent web host offer? All feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

The first one that usually comes to mind is Rackspace when talking about hosting. And yes they are outrageous as far as cost goes. There are some very reliable value hosts that are inexpensive, but as with most things you generally get what you pay for.

The "best host" also comes down to what are the requirements of the site or application. If I am producing a small brochure-ware site, then the best host is going to be a reliable value host that may not have all the extra options or multiple channels of support.

If it is an enterprise app for a fortune 500 company, then reliability and support are my main objectives since there will certainly be budget room for an upper tier host.

Whenever choose the web hosting company..check with these points:

-> server speed
-> support 24/7/365
-> server up time gaurantee
-> Read TOS of the hosting company
-> Good features with reliable cost

I think that should be web hosting provider which is not oversold and that should be the one with good support team and affrodable (not cheap in any case) prices.
I would name http://www.pinellashosting.com/ as the one which are in this defination measures.
I would recommend OP do not pass them and be sure once you try you wiwill never regret

Best hosting provider ... that's something like marblehost.com.
They provide their services on a professional level which are well-supported and monitored.
Pricing is modest and services are feature-rich.

TheBlueKingdom.com is also a great hosting site with 99/9% uptime, 24/7/365 support and terrific customization options for about $4 which meets a lot of the criteria mentioned above.

One of the features that an excellent web host should offer is Free Advertising Credit such as Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing Credit.

Self hosted images have a faster load time since your web server does not have to access multiple resources to download and display the images. Page load times are very critical since a user attention span is less than 10-15 seconds. So having self hosted images definitely helps you to cut down on load times.

You know, there is no best web hosting company. You should pick up the best host suitable for your needs and budget. I consider serverpoint.com to be flexible company which is able to serve all demands and budget respectively. These guys know to do their job qualified.

It depends on what customer wants .

My company would not be the best for users looking for ASP/MS hosting, but for linux, we got you covered!

There is no such thing as "the best host", there are many different hosting companies out there and you have to see which one best meets your specific needs. Common things to look for are support, uptime and speed, but again the options vary greatly.

The best host is a matter of opinion of which there is not shortage of. But a good host should have all the options, adequate bandwidth, and a strong uptime. Price is a consideration. I've heard bluehost is a good host provider.
