What are the top five web hosting providers in 2012, and which one do you reccommend?

Latest Reviews I had been using another hosting service for my personal Web pages until I stumbled across IPOWER a few months ago. With the features/services they offered, I "had" to switch. And I am ever-so happy that I did.

IPOWER provides invaluable features for my Web site and the support is, as we use to say in the Navy, "above and beyond the call of duty."

I have been telling all my friends/relatives, etc., about IPOWER in the hope that they too will consider a personal or business-related Web site with IPOWER.Marv

I have been very happy with the support provided by Lunarpages, but at the same time discouraged by the amount of support I've needed. The server my site is on was having pretty noticeable uptime issues a while ago and on one occasion, my account was completely shut down. The effort to switch hosts was too much so I stuck it out with Lunarpages and things have definitely gotten better so I'm still using them. But if their support staff hadn't been so reponsive, you can bet I would have moved on. Will

I always suggest GoDaddy's service because the prices are great and working with their tools is so easy. I helped a friend who had never had a website before set up his first account with GoDaddy and to my surprise, when I talked to him a week later, he had two more domains, two more sites in the works and a fully functioning blog.Dan
