Default Web Hosting performance
I'm looking for cheap hosting services right now, but I can't find any sites that compare web host performance well. Most only compare features, such as space and bandwidth. I'm looking for speed mostly as well as reliability. Pretty much every host brags about having a 10Gbps connection and 99.5% or 99.9% uptime but that still leaves a few hours per month of downtime. Also, I've seen plenty of cheap hosts provide slow service despite having large connections and powerful servers. Is there any way to really find out about which ones are good in those areas without trial and error (purchasing the services)?

Here are some hosts I've looked at, many with very statistically good plans:
MyMarkdown.com
Forge Hosting (gotten some good ratings)
Serverway.net
QualityHostOnline (very good rating at FindMyHosting.com)
ULTRAsurge.com
CyberTec (very popular and good ratings at c|net.)
ROUThost

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
