Best Web Hosts ( Summary )

[Singh400]

Thread revival time !
Looking for a cheap and helpful web host service. My wife is starting up her own business and needs a simple full service host. Speed and size offered are less important than ease of use and price.
Can anyone help with a suggestion ?

With all this hoo-ha around SOPA and GoDaddy I saw a lot of people recommended NearlyFreeSpeech Web Hosting. Might be worth checking out.

I'm on Premium, works perfectly

I've been with QiQ for a few years now and have never had a problem. When/if I have had queries the response has always felt quite personal (like they are replying specifically to me, not based on some predefined procedures)

www.tsohost.co.uk provides everything I need for very reasonable prices, they pick up the (UK company) phone quick and answer any questions too

I've got free Microsoft Azure credits from work and I'm finding that service really good, it's pay as you use but its probably more expensive than a regular VPS

How you finding the speed of the paas? I compared azure paas, tsohost paas and just simple cpanel hosting using pingdom and fresh opencart installs. Simple cpanel hosting was faster and more responsive.
