You know that, I’m a webhosting addict. Not that I’ve got a huge budget to spend on online projects, but I try to dedicate whatever spare money I get to make my network grow, and provide other webmasters with a cheap (or free) and honest service. Webhostingrating.com is a resource I use often to compare prices and features of different hosting services, to choose the one that best suits my needs, or to give my friends a suggestion on where to go to make sure they don’t waste their money on unreliable or dishonest services. I usually prefer to buy from master resellers who provide shared and reseller accounts for a low yearly fee, something under $15/year. I realize this criteria of choice is not very ‘professional’, but a webmaster must deal with his/her own budget and realize that it’s not possible to spend more money than your pocket allows. What’s important, as you check a hosting service features, is:

1 - making sure they will give you enough webspace and bandwidth (depending on your need)
2 - a cPanel or Plex or other administration panel, complete with antivirus, database administration, FTP and DNS tools
3 - a reasonable price/quality ratio

That’s what I look for in a hosting plan at whatever provider. Know your needs before you order.
