You hope for that or you know for sure?

reliable is more important than cheap, remember this!

Can mention cheap hosting from hostingsource company, their services are not expensive, plans have all necessary resources and support is skillful.

Unsure if it hasn't already been posted, but my own experience tells about webintellects.com as of the reliable and inexpensive provider to deal with.

I think hostgator or bluehost

Bluehost or Hostgator both are reputed, established & standard companies. You can go any one of them. Read the reviews of reader's from the online search so that you can make the decision.

Personally, I think customers like a personal touch with a web hosting company. A smaller hosting company can be a great hosting company. The other benefits? Personal client support. You're not just a number, but a company who's business means something to the hosting company. That could be a valuable quality to look for.

To my mind there is a sence in looking through such companies as iwhic.com... There are very cheap plans alongsite more expensive, and reliability is proven by the clients' feedbacks and reviews

Also hqhost.net starts their pricing for personal sites from .99 dollars/month which is very cheap, and they are of high quality as I know.

HostGator is great! They've been around for some time and they are really attentive to my needs. I've been a customer for years and they can handle pretty much any website even on a shared server which is the cheapest plan.

I believe if you want to build online business, you need hosting with online chat or toll-free phone. Because customer support really are important, we cannot wait response up to 3 days right? if 1 response need 3 days, if our discussion with web hosting need 5 responses, it means we need to wait 15 days. we will definitely lost money if waiting for 15 days to get the response. Just like my experience now with lunarpages.

if you are looking for cheap yet reliable host try http://www.felxo.com/services/shared_webhosting.php i been with them for an long time there support is great my site not been down once in the months i have been with them best hosting company i have been with

and you get a free domain

Before going to use any web hosting(whether this is cheap or costly) you must consider following

1) What kind of support they are giving.
2) How much space they are providing.
3) How much transfer space they are providing.
4) How much email accounts they are giving.

i m agree with u. u can consult with any web hosting companies if u afford.

Anything found? If yet not, I may name a great company hostsvault, being very good due to keeping their servers clean and non-overcrowded. Lower costs may be interesting to the OP.
