Wow, a lot of different opinions. I haven't heard of any of them except for Hostgator, and I've been reading more and more through the social networking vine that clients haven't been completely satisfied with them. I would recommend getting a new list of names and just starting over. I wouldn't always recommend googling "top web hosts" because that really just goes off of pricing, which basically is the only advantage with those companies (for the most part). I would recommend looking at sites that measure server uptimes and reliability.

Hostgator has done wonders for me! Always worked great and support is cool

For hosting a blog site I don't think you could go wrong with HostGator.

smaller host is better in your case, even some offers always there with shared hosting

I've used hostgator in the past. I would not recommend them.

HostGator is the only one I'm familiar with, but have never used their service. They seem to have quite a good reputation and my guess is that they do a fairly good job considering that they are a very large hosting company.

I think all mentioned will be ok, I had experience with hostgater many years ago, can't say they was bad, the server was always up. I had a massive site on their servers (12gb), due to the amount of nodes used, they didn't allow any back-ups of the site to be done, so.. all the space they offer it is actually very hard to fillup........

What it comes down to is doing research on your own. Big host, means tons of clients, some advertise 500,000 means crappy support. I would look for smaller hosts, personally test their support. Is the support located in the US? They will tell you yes, but watch how the structure their sentences, most big companies outsource to India. Smaller companies offer support out of the same building that the admin's and servers are actually located! Good Luck!
