    I have used 4 of this 5 providers and I agree that probably this are the best shared hosting providers, especially for blogs and not very high traffic websites. On the other hand I haven’t had more than few minutes downtime for about a year.

    I get confused about hostgator and bluehost. Both are great for their offer in share hosting. They are well known hosting provider too. I think i want to try hostgator first, because their package is more interesting and cheaper too.

  7. My favorite is HostGator and then comes Blue & Dream Host. I don’t really prefer MT shared web hosting. Their DV plans rock!
