Just Host utilize cPanel control panel which is great for newbie's and experienced webmasters.

Price:
We always advise people not to sign up for a host just because their the cheapest, as for the sake of a dollar its worth having a fast, reliable, host for your website. Surprisingly with Just Host you get the best of both worlds, with one of the cheapest hosting plans around and you get what we believe to be the most reliable shared hosting for your website on the whole internet. So Just Host gets top marks for pricing.

Reliability
With all the top hosts now offering pretty much the same package of everything unlimited and a free domain, reliably and uptime are now more important than ever when choosing your host. And from all the shared hosting accounts we have we found Just Host have had the best uptime out of all the hosts, which has been a big factor in them being our #1 host. They also offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee. Support:
24/7 toll-free phone support, live chat and email support. Just Host ticket support is second to none with lighting quick replies which are of a very high standard.

www.fatcow.com
Overview:
FatCow are a quirky hosting company and you can't help but love their style. They were founded way back in 1998 but this year has finally see them come into contention with the major hosts.

Features:
FatCow now offer unlimited space, bandwidth and a free domain which is becoming the standard for web hosts. Surprisingly FatCow aren't actually green as we first thought. FatCow uses a control panel called H-Sphere which is similar the cPanel but doesn't include the fantastic suittastic suit.

Price:
FatCow are competitive in price at $3.95 for unlimited plan, and also offer a smaller plan called the ‘Mini Moo' plan at just $2 designed for just a domain name and an email account. Reliability:
Reliability has been good over the last 6 months, only the odd outage which always seemed to be dealt with quickly. Speed has been slow at times but for the majority of time been good.

Support:
24/7 phone, live chat and ticket support. Phone support is good, live person is always fast to initially respond but then takes time to get the answer you need. Ticket responses have been good in the week, but slower at weekends which can sometimes be expected.

Summary:
We liked FatCow and rate them highly. They always seem to be improving too, with good price and nice features FatCow are our #3 rated host.

Overview:
Super Green Hosting burst onto the hosting seen in early 2008 and made a big impact. Being one of the first hosts to think about ‘Green' Ethics and also supplying an amazing service. As ‘Green' energy efficient servers not coming cheap, you actually find yourself and a high grade of server which produces fast and reliable hosting beyond the usual shared server.

Unlimited disk space, bandwidth, email accounts and databases, plus free setup and free domain for life. With Super Green you receive free green badges for your website which will prove to your website visitors you are green and have a green certificate to prove it.

Price:
Like mentioned above you are actually hosted on premium servers but surprisingly Super Green Hosting are still the same price as its competition. Just one plan and one low price.Reliability And Uptime:
Speed and uptime both been great for us over the last 6 months. Super fast loading website is probably largely due to very low number of websites that Super Green Hosting place on each server.

Support is always quick to respond and answers the questions required effectively. 24/7 phone, live person and email support is available. With all billing support only offered via email.

Summary:
A great new host and with ‘Green' now becoming so big, why not show your visitors you are thinking about the environment by having green hosting. A top host too and would still be our #6 pick even if they weren't green.

Plenty of add-ons are available to enhance your website, and customer support is always there to help you should you encounter any issues at all.

Price:
Pricing is good for a well respected top host, but seems to have not changed with the recent price drops of the other hosts. Still a good price though for a good host.

Host Monster have been given both good reviews regarding reliability and uptime, we found it to be reasonably good but not as good as some other top hosts.
