I'm looking to move away from my current Host.
Currently I'm paying $20US/mo for the following:
30gb disk space
1000gb bandwidth/mo
I'd like to find a shared host for a similar price with established fast and helpful support who isn't susceptible to the IP blocking issues and downtime is. My current web host's support used to be great but is now largely useless.
Backup services would be great, too, if possible.
Make sure to contact web host and see if they can do services for you such as restarts etc fast. Also confirm what kind of conditions your server would be kept under - that is very important.
If the web host includes a worthy website builder that can help speed up your sites, this could be the trump card that seals the deal for the site owners.
Technical Documentation & Tutorials. A provider with detailed guides and video tutorials simplifies troubleshooting. This is helpful for beginners.
Go to a few hosting review sites and read what people have said, there is a high chance that a host has written positive things about himself so you are looking for negative reviews because those will tell you the truth.
It is a wrong perception, however, that cheap web hosts entail poor quality of services because there are really, indeed, reputable web host providers that are offering affordable or cheap web hosting packages.
