    Well I'm search for a webhost that can host my website that is http://narutoforfree.com/ but there is just so many web hosting out there I don't know which ones are good and bad so can someone like recommend some or something. Also is Bluehost.com good? because I was thinking about going with them.

    Bluehost is good but a major overseller. I haven't heard a bad review about them though.

    Are you kidding me?! I've read enough bad reviews from them. The thing is, when you search for them, most of the reviews you come upon are from some affiliate, just trying to claim the sale. ;)

    Depends on what you need and on your criteria you include for the meaning of the best web host.

    I supose you need more reviews about named company. So you can do your search for their domain name to get out more information about them

    Your best bet IMO is to go with a host that has some of the following qualities:

    1. Been around more than a couple years
    2. Has redundant connections
    3. Offers support - phone, email, messenger, etc.
    4. Has a good uptime - well documented
    5. Is actually incorporated
    6. Offers realistic and reliable proven services

    Watch out for the all you can eat, buffet style, and 5 bucks a year hosts. Do a whois on their domains, as well as other research to determine if they are as old as they say. Watch out for hosts using canned whm templates and 1 month old domains with yahoo email addresses and fake address information in their whois as an example. Do whois on their IP's to see who their upscales are, if they are autonomous themselves, etc.

    A little skip tracing can go a long way to determining if a host is valid to begin with. There are a lot of hosts that set up shop with a reseller account, make ridiculous offers and collect paypal money all day long for a month and then disappear. Its not hard to spot the warning signs. Doing a little research on your host, their network, their providers, their data center and longevity will go a long way to helping you determine if they would be a good fit for your business.

    Host Gator I believe is the best company for hosting small and large packages. They have a great support team that know what they are doing.

    I use to work with HostGator but my personal opinion is Influxhost is a super great hosting company.
    Good support, no problems with the upload time, good price and don't f*ck with you with the small letters of the ToS...And this is very important if you have a site because someday others company comes to you and email you..."Dear customer, your site will be down about abuse of Tos"....;)
