    Default what do you value in a host?

    what do you value in a web hosting company? I go on reputation and pricing but I have learned the hard way that pricing shouldn't hold much weight. I do research on the host and try to find out what the experience is for other users. how about you?

    I go for reputation first followed by pricing, if I have to choose one over the other, I will go for reputation.

    I go usually with reputation, server reliability then price. Yea pricing should really be the last thing to look at. It's best to go with hosts that offer free trials for cheap trials of their hosting. It's not a good idea to go for the 1 year - 2 year plans etc. Yes it will save you money, but paying monthly is better just in case the company goes down hill and you need to find a new place.

    I go for reputation as well as server uptime (server reliability) and their customer support (quick).

    I go for reputation, pricing and customer service.
    Also, I check web hosting directory and look their review about web hosting company that I want to choose.

    For me reputation and reliability is more important than pricing assuming that they do not charge the earth but like anything else in life sometimes the cheapest is not always the best.

    Reliability for me every time! Bugger price (unless it is nuts), it is all down to their communications and reliability.
