Comparison Shopping
Before I make a serious move like signing up for new hosting, I do an online search and check out the options of various services. Not only do I read their pages, but also the comments on forums about the hosting service I’m looking into. In my own case, I have only begun this summer to offer hosting, so I have no big testimonials to point you too, but if you want to ask my first three clients, I can forward your requests to them, and let them correspond with you directly and tell you about the quality of my work.
If you find anyone else giving you better services, or people you trust more, I suggest you go with them. In the end trustworthiness, and being able to work things through with your host is VERY important.
If you want to go up a notch to the hosting service I get my reseller package from, I recommend you check out HostGator will take you there. When I did my research they and Site5 impressed me most, and HostGator had the tie-breaking lower rates.
