Hi,
Name ONE web host that you think best. This is for shared hosting plans only.
I start with: pair.com

Reasons: Spam filtering, huge disk space and bandwidth, Good customer support, and affordable.

I am sure there are others, and look forward to your response.

Hostgator.com ----- My Best and favorite

Thanks for your replies ofonseca and john551.
There must be more....

All the other "best hosts" are basically competing for the right to be a distant second to these guys IMHO. Great service, great support, reasonable prices without kissing the asses of the cheap crowd who just overload the servers and ruin it for everyone else, not a fly-by-night operation, and the only people I know that could be able to handle the stuff I throw at them from an ASP point of view.

Big up to Brian, the three Jasons (that I know about), Matt, and anyone else I know I forgot (or haven't talked to yet.)

I think there is not the best hosting. One is good for you and the other is good for me IMHO.

WHY? Excellent support in the Forums, quick account set up and the Forums are an excellent place to get help with building your site as well as affiliate programs and scripts

What I mean by "best" host, they need to provide top of the class service in one or more of the following areas:
1. Spam email control
2. Customer service
3. Good bandwidth and disk space as promised
4. Server resources, like forums etc.
5. Excellent uptime,
6. Good pricing, and/or
7. Any other unique service that you may think fit
Preferably, its not your own hosting company. But you have hosted with them at some point of time.

My vote goes to http://www.midphase.com I have had good luck with them over the years.
