Which hosting company to use?

[Propeller]

Need to know which hosting company someone would go for if the following is important

• 99,9% Uptime
  
• Secured Webservers
  
• Huge Bandwith
  
• decent space
  
• cPanel with easy install of WordPress and Joomla
  

I only have about 30$ to spend a month!


Additionally I put a poll up for the hosts I have found so far, would be nice if you could rate one of them, post a comment and also add additional hosting companies if you have any good expirience with one, or bad...

You can make multiple votes, I decided to do so, since most may have 2 companies they like.

singlehop.com and theplanet.com the best I found so far, we have our own dedicated servers.

I see hostgator (Web Hosting Services, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Servers by HostGator) a lot around when I'm surfing blogs and all such stuff are they not a valid company?

ThePlanet.com is the one I would go with, hostgator.com is a very cheap hosting plan, but nothing I would touch even if they were the last company in this world, just my 2cents.

hostgator sucks crockballs, it is not worth a single cent, go for some of the other mentioned hosting companies if you want to keep your website online!

Oh I forgot, does anyone try to contact rackspace for their insane fees? No one with a good business and who didn’t got out of their mind, and has just a little knowledge about the possibilities available will ever choice this company for hosting, I don't care how big they are, you can get the same service level and uptime with ThePlanet and a hundred times cheaper!

theplanet is taking the run, cool I noticed the fees of rackspace figured out that it wasn't for me but only for the BIG companies.

Regardless which hosting company you may want to make use of, make sure they have a 24/7/365 support available with knowledgable people there, not some school boys which don't have a clue about it.
