You trust your friends, don't you? And if your friends trust this one web host, you would get an inkling to trust that web host too. Sometimes too immediately. One way to know which web host is right for you is to ask around your friends. Each one of them could have varying opinions but you must get the description of the web host which best suits your needs and capacity.
But let's say you don't have friends who are self hosting their sites, then you could make good use of online ranking resources. Answer number 2: Read around web hosting rating sites. There are a couple of them out there. The best way is to explore. Try hanging out in forums or user feedback areas. You can't just rely on what the web hosts say. Hear it out from their previous/current customers. Customers (most of them) always speak based on their experiences. Learn from their experiences, right?
Let me share this quote from Sir Colin Marshall, The customer doesn't expect everything will go right all the time; the big test is what you do when things go wrong. You can't expect a web hosting provider to be 100% perfect. When things go wrong, what do they do? Leave you hanging (like my previous web host)? The customers will answer your questions. Hear it out.
All I'm saying here is that before buying out a web host, read, search, think and weigh. Don't make the mistakes of impulse buying. Read reviews and rating sites first. Always know that a secure website offers a peace of mind. And you don't want to end up fast in a down-falling web host right?
Good luck to web host buyers-to-be. Read this hosting guide for reference. (:
