How to find a host...

• Grab 'n Go hosts, They will happily take your money and give you a good server but the harsh reality of it is that their support it terrible and they will be renting one or two budget servers for their company (A good host owns all it's hardware and have at least 6 servers). These hosts tend to close down within a year of opening. Usually run by 12-16yr olds
  

• Professional Adult Hosts, These hosts are very large and host a large amount of servers. They usually charge more money but you will have great customer service with them. A sign that they are a big host is that they have their own billing system (Not Ubersmith or WHMCS), and they will have their own control panel. Usually run as a division of a large hosting company.
  

• ' Middle' Hosts, These hosts are usually run by 16-22yr olds and are good, but sometimes difficult to deal with. When I made my first host, I rented a server in paris. The hosting company I was with was a ' Middle ' one and because we made lots of support requests, they refused to host us! So, avoid these hosts if possible!
