    Biased towards Hostgator. If you wait for a holiday they also offer specials - xmas they offered 50% off.

    Hostgator is okay if you want shared hosting.

    From those 5 web hosts HostGator is the most popular.

    You can go with the mainstay that is mentioned above but there are also some really reliable hosting companies emerging that haven't been as visible in the public eye as others. Some mid-level hosting companies have outstanding offers. They are generally a little more flexible and offer more hands on support.

    I would suggest the OP to visit shared hosting offers section on Webhostingtalk forum. There are many offers. always do research before going with any hosting provider. Google is your friend.

    I offer a private hosting offer to my clients. PM me and we can discuss what your hosting needs are. Im the owner and I speak with all my clients personally. :) Works out better that way... Ive been on the receiving end of other hosts in the past so I know first hand the issues clients have to deal with simply because the host did't care.

    Also if anyone needs help with a bulk cpanel/whm (both sub domain and domains) create, let me know. I've built several custom versions of these types of scripts. One client needed to create 607 millions domains in his server farm. With the script and macro I provided it made is super simple to set them all up (each with as much variables as you need, such as unique passwords for each if you needed that)

    What kind of hosting are you looking for? shared, VPS, dedicated, etc... Are you looking because you have outgrown your current host? What specs are you currently using and wanting with the move? What is your budget?

    All of those are good questions, stach14, except the last one (What is your budget?). In sales, most clients find that a weird question. A good example is when my mom needed to buy a sewing machine, she called up the store and they asked her how much her budget was. She said $35. The sewing machine she was sold was $34.50 (this was 40+ year ago).

    I know as business people it can be helpful to provide a solution to a client knowing with what range they are able to work with but the client will tell you if the offer is too much. If money is not issue and they simply want the best (without inflation) then they will tell you that.

    Also be sure to read JustHost's usage policy. Prime example of discussions above.

    It's not a weird question at all. I can offer somebody an ATOM server for $50/mo. or a file server for $1500/mo., and everything in between, depending on their needs and what they are planning on spending. Without knowing the client's budget, everyone is just wasting their time.

    If the client can give you a reasonable example of what they are willing to pay, we can narrow down the services for them.

    Pricing should always been done based up on the needs not what they "have to spend". My reaction to that question is quite common, so just as a friendly advice you might want to reword it in a different way. Remember most clients wont tell you if they didn't like a certain question, they just wont shop their.

    Well I have a question why you are shifting from blue host? All companies you mentioned are almost same and they provide same type of hosting.

    Well thanks for the business advice. Don't know how I got by these 16 years without that morsel of knowledge!

    My point stands. There are so many options available out there, that without knowing the clients needs and budget, everyone here is just wasting their time, as is the client. There are hundreds of thousands of hosts out there. With the required specs and budget, perhaps we could narrow it down.

    Remember we are ALL students, especially in business, until the day we die. No body has all the answers :)

    Just from a purely personal perspective, I've turned down vendors/contractors simply because of that question, so the simple matter of the question being asked is issue with some folks. Remember clients are people - nothing more, nothing less :)
