1. Solid/Reliability
   Every time your web site goes down, so does your number of visitors. If you lose visitors, then you lose profit, members, reputation, etc. You cannot afford for your web site to be down—even for a short amount of time! To ensure the web host you’re looking at will be reliable, find out how many customers they have (typically the more the better), see if they have a guaranteed up-time, search for complaints about them on the internet and ask other users using their service about their experience (if you know any).

2. Speed
   No one likes to wait in line to get what they want—they want it now or they wanted it yesterday. If your web site loads slow because it’s on an overburdened server or on a slow network, your visitors will go somewhere else. Make sure its blazing fast. Test the web hosts site and some of their customer’s sites to see how fast they load.

3. Secure Location
   Web hosts that are local will likely be faster, more reliable and easier to contact than those that are not nearby. It’s best to at least have the web server be in the same country as most of your visitors. It doesn’t make sense to use a hosting company in the UK or Europe if you all of your visitors are in the United States. Also, make sure your web site information will be safe and secure on their servers.

4. Substantial Bandwidth
   Imagine if hosting company was only allowed to have 1,000 customers per day and then they had to close their doors. This is essentially what bandwidth is for web sites. If you have too much traffic and use too much bandwidth, they cut off your web site or charge you more. It protects the web hosting companies from having someone who uses up all of the server resources. Make sure your web host allows you to buy more bandwidth should you someday need it.

5. Support
   If you walked into a hosting company and you couldn’t find an employee to take your order that would be really frustrating. When you have a problem with your web hosting company, you want to be able to reach some one and get a quick response. Find out if they have a published phone number, their hours of support, and how easy it is to reach someone.

Every time your data processor goes down, therefore will your variety of tourists. If you lose guests, then you lose profit, members, reputation, etc
No one likes to attend in line to induce what they wish—they want it currently or they needed it yesterday.
Web hosts that square measure native can probably be quicker, additional reliable and easier to contact than people who don't seem to be near . It’s best to a minimum of have the online server be within the same country as most of your guests.

While choosing reliable web hosting company always keep one thing in your mind that there are no good and bad alternatives for any hosting company. Because the company that were good yesterday can turn pathetic the next day. What you need to look for is a company that has been consistent with their performance and support for years and have improved instead of going down the drain. Depending on your needs there’s GoDaddy, Znetlive and Hostgator Web Hosting Services for VPSs. I like these three a lot. It's all matter of requirements. But reliability and uptime is what matters in case webhosting with respect to it's cost.

For exemple keep in mind this:
Know your hosting needs.
Investigate on host reliability and uptime guarantees.
Study web host upgrading options.
Check all hosting features (such as number of addon domains allowed) based on your needs.
Check prices on both sign up and renewal.
Check hosting control panel.
Read hosting company’s ToS to find out more about account suspension and server usage policy.
Other supporting features (ie. site backup, environmental friendliness, etc)

Companies Reviews can be very decieving/fake :)

Tips on selecting the best web hosting for your needs ...

Following three factors need to be check before purchasing hosting account

1st Resources allocation and price
2nd Is it host providing 24x7 support or not
3rd Don't trust review's and check hosting provider who provide 30 days money back guarantee

Hope it will help you

It can never be stressed to highly enough that nowadays, cheap web hosting plans does not necessarily mean poor quality and service. Check on the disk space allocation, bandwidth, security features, traffic flow, e-mail storage capacity, and the kind of multiple domain accounts.

Simply look their features services and most important is talk to their customer service representative to know everything!Ask question about the service and how it works.Ask everything what you saw the frontpage of their website or forum

I am totally agree with yrhost9568. You should check first the company's reviews and their forum's activity. You should also check their uptime, guarantees and features. You can also read their blogs. I wish you all the very best.
