Lunarpages founded in 2001 is one of the best solutions. With over 150,000 accounts hosted in datacenters located in Los Angeles, Riverside and Las Vegas, Lunarpages is truly one of the big players out there and all customers seem more than happy to me.

Key features:

Lunarpages offers 8 different Hosting plans:

1. Personal Site
2. Small Business
3. Build a Site
4. Windows Hosting
5. Dedicated Hosting
6. VPS Hosting
7. Email & Domain Hosting
8. Resell Hosting

In my opinion those hosting plans and their prices pretty much reflect what good hosting will cost. 100% reliable hosting will always cost more than $4,95/month.

If you are a beginner it is a wise choice to pick the cheapest hosting plan and then just wait until you grow. If you are working hard this process will be fast and later on you can use your shared host as a backup server to outsource your smaller, not so important sites.

What makes Lunarpages stand out is that your hosting plan will come a software package that will normally cost you $700. The CoffeCup package includes 22 tools, such as FTP software, Flash Site Builder, Web Jukebox (play music through your site), HTML Editor, Webcam Software and even a color picker to easily create colour schemes for your sites!

Bluehost founded in 1996 is hosting more than 750.000 domains and is one of the webhosters with the biggest growth. They also offer support for custom PHP.ini files like Hostmonster. Overall BlueHost is one of the best performing webhosts out there; what else would you expect from a company that has been around for longer than 12 years?

Of course Bluehost has a very knowledgeable staff and their tech support is very good. To make it easier for you they  only offer 1 hosting plan.

Their servers are pretty good, let’s take a look at some specs here:

Two quad-core Intel Xeon E5320 1.86Ghz CPUs, 4GB of RAM and three 750GB hard drives.

Key features:

HostIcan founded in founded in 2003 is one of the fastest webhost providers. Their sites load faster than normal and you can expect a very good uptime.

Like many other webhosts they integrated Fantastico. But HostIcan even includes Fantastico De Luxe which is a tool to “one-click install” many different web applications. This comes in handy for beginners who are not so familiar with this. For beginners who don’t know how to install wordpress for example this is a big plus.

Hostmonster founded in 1996 is probably one of the oldest and most reliable solutions. When I had to pick a webhost two years ago this was my first choice. Hostmonster helped me to grow rapidly and only a couple months after I joined Hostmonster I grew so much that I had to rent something bigger. To learn the basics this is my personal recommendation, because I was fully satisfied myself. You can test their CPanel here. Support For Custom PHP.INI Files comes in handy for new webmasters too!

Their support staff was always very friendly and helped me many times.

Uptime Stats for February 2009:

Webhosting Pad was founded in 2005. Fast, reliable and comprehensive services including a very nice support staff. All of this comes at a the best price we found! This is our Price Hunter Choice!

At the moment WHP manages more than 200,000 accounts and is being recommended not only by our site but many many other sites as well.

WHP also won dozens of awards, among those the “Top Choice 2008″

If Webhosting Pad is not going to win the award Top Choice 2009, I will be very surprised!

If you are on a tight budget this is your choice.
