Really detailed and I'm jealous. lol. I've got something similar scheduled on my blog but it ain't as good as this one. If you've got the money go with Hostgator. They are quite pricey but TOTALLY reliable. The only setback is that you'll be subject to screening as a Nigerian. I ordered using Zenith Mastercard Websurfer but the order was rejected until I presented scanned copies of my international passport and mastercard websurfer. It's been almost 8 months now and I've got absolutely no complains about them. Emails get responded in as little as minutes in some cases. I've even prepaid for another year of hosting with them. Beware of Nigerian web hosts. I was trying to launch a blog focused on solely Nigerians and decided to go with Utiware.net's 3,500 naira offer. Till date, I've been unable to install wordpress and their customer service has been useless. It's been 2 weeks since I asked for a refund and nothing yet. At a point I was even insulted that I didn't know my way around the net and that their servers were in top condition only for them to turn around and apologise that they were having some techical difficulties, which BTW are yet to be fixed. I thank God I only lost 3,500 naira to them but I'll definitely be blogging about them to warn others. Shine your eyes well well oh! P.S: 100% uptime guarantee doesn't exist as far as I know. It's more like 99.99% uptime guarantee. P.S: Your blog is the first Nigerian blog that really demands my respect and I'll be adding you to my blogroll soon. Most Nigerian MMO blogs are just filled with sales pitches here and no real value. Will definitely stay subscribed to your blog's feeds. This is one hell of a comprehensive post on web hosting.

Dreamhost is best support in my opinion, they answer emails right away. I think one of the most important aspects of a good webhost is their support team and how responsive they are.

Some premium web hosts do offer some sort of free hosting as an incentive for new clients and make money through other means.
