I was thinking of a thread to help people choose a host correctly before they go with the wrong hosting company.
I hope some people contribute in this thread. This should help a lot of users to look. ^_^
Tips
1) Before signing up to one of their plan look at webhostingtalk(or if there a testomonial here just go read it ) for testimonials and feedbacks
2) Be sure the host you are choosing to provide the 'basics', php, mysql, perl, etc.
3) Is very important that the host you are choosing provides GOOD SUPPORT. (Please don't choose new host sites that doesn't even know what they are touching).
4) Ask them about the mysql performance (I always ask that to see if their sql is powerful enough)
5) Google is your friend look for more testimonials about them (Thats because today I found out a host I was goign to sign up are unfair)
6) Be sure the company have been offering hosting for years, as I say in "3" sometimes new hosters doesn't even know what they are doing in their server or they just don't know how to provide support.

7) Make sure your host wont kill you for using a little more system resources, as large vBulletin boards, or even medium ones can have an effect on the server, and if you have a nazy host, you never know when they might turn around and ban you.

8) Make sure that disk space and mysql space are defined clearly. Sometimes it's combined or seperate sizes.
ALWAYS read the terms of service!!!!!!!!!
Well thats all for now! ^_^,
Remember 1and1.com are evil! or so they say
