Why bother? Why do all that work to "test" a host? Why not just run your own stuff and make real money? Just seems futile to spend all your time "testing" things instead of making money.
As for testing a host, you won't be able to do it without a few months, real traffic, and real problems. No host in their right mind will give you a virtual hosting account to "test" shit and load scripts on a server that could potentially fuck over paid customers. If there is a host that does it, let me know, as I will never host with them ever.
If you want to recommend something, you have to be someone who has used it legit. You can't give companies heads up that you are "testing their services". My suggestion is to spend the hours a day you spend posting for pennies and actually build sites, blogs, anything. You've had some nice offers for domains, hosting, and teaching you how to setup a blog. You can write a lot, so making money from a blog should not be tough at all.
