I have a friend who plans to start a self-hosted WordPress blog and is looking for a web hosting. He asked me this question: "Which web hosting company offers the cheapest web hosting?"
Will you choose a web hosting provider just solely based on price?

- No. The cost is only one criteria. Some bloggers prefer WordPress Auto-Install, others may not prefer it. Some maybe looking for Unlimited disk storage, Unlimited monthly data transfer, host unlimited domains on 1 account, 99% uptime guarantee, mirrored storage backups, etc. We all want excellent support. And each hosting service has it's own features. Therefore, the price is only one consideration when choosing a web host.
There are several web hosting companies listed on the wordpress.org site and there are others that are also worthy of consideration as well. wordpress.org/hosting/
I prefer A Small Orange. I like their features, and price and their support is outstanding.

I agree.
On a side note, today I switched, thought I found the perfect solution and am now stuck with the sh*ttiest host out there. Although, maybe it will improve. It had everything I wanted and needed, but then was missing basics most providers throw in standard. Moral: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. I will now be checking random forums for a more accurate idea of customer satisfaction
