Especially the part about overselling. One thing that I would add to this list is to choose a host that is not bogged down with clients. This is especially important in shared hosting. Look for hosts who have less than 100,000 clients. Support seems to get sketchy after that. I tend to agree with everything on the http://thebestwebhostingreview.com web site. Unfortunately, the site doesn't list how many clients each hosting company has. I totally agree with everything in this article. Especially the part about overselling.

I think you get that when you sign up for 12 months maybe less not sure. here is the link, if you use this you dont have to put in the coupon number. you can do the same thing after youre on and continue to get free hosting when others sign up under your coupon code which you get when you sign up with them. best wishes, enjoy heres the link: http://www.servage.net/?coupon=cust38746 cheers I had done some research as to who is happy with their webhost and who is not, too much time invested?! not really. unless you get someone else to do the dirty work to spend all that time finding a new webhost.

Any recommendations would be useful. Most important aspects for me are: a) good uptime b) Not much of this CPU overload crap I am not into buying 300 GB of storage or 3000 GB of transfer. I will never use them. Please help. I am seriously looking for a good web host for my wordpress blog. Any recommendations would be useful.

but not all hosts do oversell.. and its not just the amount of space and b/w that constitutes overselling.. the price at which they are sold also comes into consideration..

for instance.. media temple’s grid service offers 100GB space for $20 a month.. 1and1 offers 250 gb space for $10 and 300gb space for $20.. something is amiss here right.. essentially they are just providing hardware space..at the same time a reputed host like asmallorange gives just 4.5gb of space for $20…
u seeing the difference in such a small set of options itself
my point of overselling was.. don’t get trapped into “large amount of space and bandwidth on offer” coz u don need them.. just buy what you would want.. be smart about ur choices and be practical.. :)

@awsaun – in hindsight .. yes i think i should have included a few names.. :)
