What's the best web hosting company?

Hi fellow website owners,

I recently cancelled my account with 3ix webhosting - They are the worst! I apologize if this not the right place for this but I really want you guys to know: Stay away from this crappy host. They will NOT help you! I was misled into buying their service through some advertisements and fake testimonials. Now, I'm desperately needing a web host that is both cost effective and stable. I'm willing to spend a bit more now since obviously you get what you pay for!

Can anyone tell me if you've had any success and with which host? I've only found a lack of reviews! If you want to know what I mean, just try to search for "Hostgator Reviews" - You find only sales sites that are making money!

Thank you so much!
