Couple of days ago Nimer and I were talking about hosting providers as he is looking for a reliable hosting provider for his new web site which eventually might become the family web site.
Couple of months ago I had to shutt it down my dedicated server and moved to Dreamhost, it wasn't easy decision at all but I was in a situation where I don't need the luxury of dedicated server anymore and it was good idea to save more money :D However, Couple of days ago I also had to move from dreamhost to Yahoo! hosting because I noticed that my blog is getting more traffic and the server I was on with dreamhost wasn't able to make my readers nor me satisfied with its speed, all of this wasn't pleasant experience at all so lets break things down to make your choice of a web hosting company or moving from your current hosting to new one pleasant or at least with the minimum damage.
First you should be aware that finding a good and reliable hosting provider is not an easy task but lets break things down to make it easier, First you should ask yourself What do I need?
