actually bluehost is a good example of the bad shared host, hostican is another

800+ sites per server and lots of excessive resource shutdowns if you have any real traffic

there are shared hosts that charge less, have better network performance and only put around 300 sites on their servers

3 recommendations: hawkhost, a small orange, downtownhost

A good shared host is HostGator. Another is BlueHost, which claims to provide unlimited bandwidth. However, I sincerely doubt that they would service a high-traffic website.

I've run some shared hosting on godaddy.com but stopped. There were other sites on the same server that ran resource hungry scripts and halted traffic to my site.

Im on mediatemple.net now. Never looking back

I've never use VPS or dedicated server since my blogs just have little traffic. FindMyHosting is my fav site to find the right web hosting package for me ;)

I think that if you're running a 'for profit' business then you shouldn't scrimp on hosting.
It's a bit like setting up a bricks & morter shop - but expecting to pay market stall prices - leave your stock on the table and it's probably going to be damaged or gone by the morning. You usually get what you pay for, it just gets me down that dedicated hosting in the UK is so much more than US based..

I've had pretty good luck with my shared hosting. I went with a very reputable company, and bought their upper end package so maybe that had something to do with it. Now, I wouldn't mind a dedicated server. :)

I use WebHostingPad and I love it. Great service and support from them, too.

Yeah, I have thought about doing some dedicated hosting... but I would actually have to have enough traffic to justify it *grins*

Most professional shared hosting providers gives the customer their own IP address... So only downside I see is, One / Some customers abusing the server resources which would affect the entire users on the particular server...

As long as the server is constantly monitored and well looked after, I don't see a problem with hosting a low end site on Share Hosting.

I am using the Freehostia shared hosting but although I have brand new blog with not heavy traffic for now but still I am not satisfied with the slow performance and also have downtime every other day for unknown reason. I can only hope that they will improve their service. Nevertheless this an informative article to explore the different options.

Not all shared hosting providers suck. I'm with WebFaction ( http://www.webfaction.com ) and AFAICT there are only 100 sites on my server. Yes, it's still quite a few but the server is very beefy so it's still really fast.
I'd say that if you want to avoid sharing the machine with 500 or so other people you just need to stay away from the big oversellers who promise hundreds of GBs of storage for less than $10 a month.

but not when you cannot shell out extra bucks.

I currently use shared hosting for my World War II Database website http://ww2db.com , it is working well, but I know exactly what you're talking about. If someone ever writes sloppy code, then my site could effectively go down for a couple of hours, depriving my users of service and also take away my revenues.

However, the site's popularity, despite already being beyond my expectations, still does not demand dedicated hosting. So for now, Dreamhost ( http://www.dreamhost.com/r.... ) will just have to do...
