Agreed WHT is BIG and a search will bring many results...but you may get equal good & bad on some of those mentioned-especially "gator". It's natural, a big host will have a lot of happy people and disappointed people; depends on their expectations and maybe as much as which server they were on (if one had a lot of downtime or such)
There are smaller hosts that can handle your needs too, a little time shopping won't hurt and make sure you get a trial or money back guarantee so you can try them and see if their speed/support/etc. is what they claim,
Best of luck...

Don't be afraid to ask as many questions as needed, when trying to find a suitable webhost. Should they care enough about getting your business, they will have no problems exchanging email's with you, and answer as many questions as you deem needed.

Yes, it is better to buy a hosting plan for at least one month( in case there is a 30-days money back guarantee) and test it during one month.If the service is reliable, you can upgrade for a year or more.In case the quality of hosting leaves much to be desired, it is better to quit and find another hosting provider.

IMO 2-3 months is best. Usually you'll get a good idea how they treat problems, etc within that time.

If the comapnies are in the list of top 10 this doesn't mena that they are the best.

Sometimes, it may be so that some small companies have a better service than the top ones.

why dont you go with a small company? the chances are small companys dont oversell, and on top of that a small comopany would treat you like god to keep your custom, these would be things worth thinking about.
