Choosing a Web Hosting Service

[webangel]

I am looking for a web hosting service that offers excellent value and service. I am particularly interested in getting names of hosting services webmasters have used, are satisfied with, and meet the criteria below.

Here are the criteria I have in mind:
ú knowledgeable and prompt 24/7 tech support;
ú fast and reliable user downloading, ftp uploading;
ú disk usage 0.5 Gb;
ú bandwidth: 5 Gb;
ú Urchin 5;
ú support for the usual languages (cgi, php, xml, shtml);
ú at least one database (mysql with phpmyadmin);
ú easy installation of phpBB and WordPress;
ú free cms;
ú under $20 per month.

I would welcome comments or improvements regarding the above criteria, such as specs that give an objective heads up as to server speed.

uh i got a host for you but let me suggest if your going for under 20bucks you better be getting a whole lot more than 1 MySQL database and 0.5 GB of space and bandwidth lol but heres the review for my host HERE

Hello,
There are many companies selling hosting plans for less of 20 month and with big space like 300 GB of disk, look around for example Godaddy, Lunarpages dot com, etc

I have my sites hosted with rosehosting.com and I would definitely recommend them. Asmallorange.com is also very good.

Check out Netfirms as well, they have a lot of one click script installs and a great uptime.

all the big oversellers have about the same level of service. That said I have been very pleased with hostgator and lunarpages (i use both right now), their support is good and uptime has been very good.
