Unfortunately there are a ton of hosting options to choose from. Sometimes you don’t know what you have until after you go through all of the work to set everything up.
I have used 1&1, godaddy, bluehost and hostgator. My main issue I had was lack of support or human connection and I was not sure of how the operation worked. I then found Canis Hosting. It is a one man show in Michigan and he is EXTREMELY helpful if you need help transferring domains or anything like that. The cool thing is he can scale to meet any site needs. If you want small-town hospitality without the overseas long distance phone calls… you should check him out.
