Unfortunately I don't have the experience with any of the mentioned hosting providers, but I did hear about all of them.

HostGator seems to stand out due to their massive size and overall client satisfaction.

hawkhost seems to have plans that will suit your needs. Try giving them a try.

Hostgator not a fan of. I've had friends use them; all three said hostgator is not worth it.

The other host I have no experience with so I can not give you an opinion about them.

I don't know uch about Hawk Host. I have heard good reviews of Host Gator. I don;t know anything about Downtown Host at all. I've seen there names pass around the bush though.

I really haven't heard very much about either Hawk Host or Downtown Host, so I cannot offer comments either way about them, although I would advise against using Host Gator, unless extremely low prices are crucial to you. Host Gator is neither honest nor reliable, and since you listed that as being important, I would suggest trying to find another host.

My opinion won't change.

The 4th host is banned here for spamming, so I won't recommend it anyway.

I think you should use one the web host on this form. Your needs are pretty basic. I have heard of all of the companies you have suggested and I think you should help out the litter companies instead of the big dogs.. they look at you as a cash cow. Go to wht and read up on them. You will find mix reviews on them and then you should make your decision. Best of luck!

I agree. Webhostingtalk is the biggest and actually the best place for your research.
Doing search for the domain name of the certain company you will find out a lot of information about them.

Some honest reviews on Host Gator and DowntownHost that I find may help you in your decision.

none - go for a smaller host that will give you better personal support for the same or similiar money.

Email and ask for a free trial or money back guarantee - test them before you buy, hosts that are worth their salt will work for your hard earned cash.
