Well, I am about ready to open up an ecommerce site(after rough testing through WAMP) and I am looking for the best website hosting as well as cheapest for an ecommerce site. The site is for a small company(or rather a new one) and they asked me to find a good webhosting for them. I've tried Dreamhost before but I've had bad experiences with them, like downtime very often and also terrible tech support(seriously I sended like 20 support tickets before they answered me.)

So any suggestions will be greatly appreciated =]

Hope this helps.

Try iPage, it's $2.95 for a limited time only. They have good customer service and tons of free features you can use for an e-commerce website.

I think, attractive offers are not the only factor you should depend while selecting a host.
Try to check and compare reliable hosts as these decent ones:
- Hostgator.com
- HostDepot.com
- Hostforweb.com
Their uptime is fantastic and ability to upgrade and downgrade is a plus.
Pricing is reasonable and customer support services are helpful. take your time to compare them and choose the best.

If I were you, I would definitely choose Ultrawebsitehosting.com for running ecommerce sites.
No hidden fees or surprises, very reliable service.
I have not really had to use the customer service, because everything was fine with them (no downtime and no problems). Use coupon code "MAR995" while ordering for $9.95 off your order.

Try to compare rates, features, compatibility, performance and reliability.
I'd suggest hostdone.com cheap web hosting solutions for running ecommerce sites.
Generally 100% uptime, good pricing and professional service.
I would highly recommend these guys.

I think you should go with webhostingmadness.com. It will help you to select a best and cheapest hosting for ecommerce site and how much you have to pay for a hosting this all information you can get from this.
