Default which is the best web host

i just wan tot get your opinions and want to learn about people's experience with their webhosts, i use siteground.com relatively new but not so new... i have about 2 years experience with them their techincal support is fast and efficient so far did not have any issue i run 1 joomla and 4 wordpress sites on their servers... their pricing are very competitive as well like $5 or so per month..... for shared hosting... i know market is majorly dominated by dreamhost, bluehost like that but i just to learn which are the best web host for shared hosting and vps that i have not used so far..... recently i was impressed by mediatemple $20/month gs hosting plan 100gb/1tb space/band... but they don't have fantastico that bugs me.... you know it's quite big pain to install or upgrade software at your own...... but they seem pretty reliable as i have seen too many big sites hosted on their servers.... alright... that's it now please give your feedback.!!!!

Even though I'm seventeen.
I've been developing websites for around 5 years now!
Yeah 5 years
I started when I was 12.5 Years YOUNG!
Anyhow, I've experience with all the major webhosts of the century. i.e. Bluehost, Dreamhost, hostgator, lunarpages etc etc.
Initially, I started small, of course. A donzen of wordpress blogs and websites, etc.
But with the passage of time. I had to move to dedicated hosting. I've few donzes (approximately 37) sites running on my dedicated server. Many of them are small blogs. But others are HUGE Harry Potter Role Playing Forums. I own 5 Harry Potter Role Playing Forums, they are one of the biggest HP Forums, around the globe.
I use ThePlanet. They are very good. Their customer support is awsum.
You really don't need them though!
Since you have small sites.

Out of all my experience, I think hostgator is the best web host around! They have awsum Packages and a good customer support.
You can also try mellowhost.com They are small but really efficient and professional.

At the moment, I pay around $200/Month for my server!
I also host other peoples sites. It helps me pay the fees of my server

I have twenty hostees, Each pay me around $10 per month. And I provide the VPS.
So, in this way. I don't have to spend a peny and I use unmetered space!

its a difficult question to answer,, lot of hosting companies, some are very popular like planet, blue host, etc.

You can also search on google for ranking of hosting companies. at the end what matter most is the hosting company with professional support and load balance on servers..

shared hosting service of some companies is equal to vps service of others due to less load.

^ yea right the host i use relatively has less load siteground therefore so it's going amazing, pricing are too cheap, and service is amazing i just host couple of wordpress blogs and one joomla website last month my usage was 4 gb of bandwidth... outta 7500gb using about 1 gb of harddrive space on their server.... my blogs are growing i get about 250/300 random visitors on all of sites each day... if the visitor volume grows substanially i would switch to mediatemple they are very reliable no bs ... they charge bit high but deliver good service.

If you really think they are giving you 7500gb of space. For few bucks a month! that I pitty you.

They are OVERSELLING!

How on earth can they even give you 7500gb of space?
Let's suppose 1tb of space comes for $100 (it's more expensive, but let us just assume)

So for 7500GB hard drive will come for $750, at least. Do you really think they will provide you a hard disk space of $750, for 10 bucks a month, NO?

If you exceed more than 50GB, they'll just come up with some crappy excuse and they will take your site down.

I've quiet a lot of experience in web hosting though. it's just not possible!

Look like this. Shared hosting comes for $10, with 7500 GB of web space. But a Dedicated server of $200 comes with a hard drive of 2000GB. Isn't it pretty lame? Why would any one go for dedicated then? Why not use 7500GB of space for 10 bucks??

Either way, bandwidth or diskspace! They both are the SAME!
Where do you think they give you bandwidth from?

And more over, in Bandwidth you also need to consider the RAM size. So in order to provide 7500 GB Bandwidth, they'll need to provide you 1/20th of the RAM. Which still is impossible! So generally they are providing you 375GB of RAM, MOST UNLIKELY!
