Ive been looking around a LARGE portion of the hosting market lately, and come accross a huge range of prices.

Some are expensive because it's good quality
Some are expensive because they have high mark-ups

Ive decided on a UK host I think because I want to be able to go and physically visit the servers that i will be paying for.

Maybe a tad extreme but i read a lot of forum posts on webmaster forums about providers lying about a ton of things.

-saying they own servers when really they are resellers
-lying about the specs of their servers' hardware
-lying about their connection speed
-providing 'misleading' info on bandwidth
-making out they have a tech team, when really the entire thing is a 1 man job.

list goes on. Just do a ton of research first, especially if you wanna find a host for the long term
