Hey NileHadwards, I think if you want to advice something, please explain it in a better way. Anyway, If a person is looking for a reliable web hosting provider you should verify the following points:
Call the Phone Number: Call on the phone number and confirm the number is of the company and not from a call center. Also, make sure they are available 24x7 on phone if you require any assistance.
Test the speed: Always test the speed of their hosting service by asking them. They will provide you the exact way to test speed of their service.
Location of Data center: Ask them the location of their data center, sometimes the provider itself is a reseller and his server is hosted in other hosting company. Make sure they have their own data center or should be collocated in the better data center like BlueSquare Data Center in Maidenhead …
Check Your Features: You should check the features provided with the hosting plan, see if they can meet with your requirement.
Ask others for advice: You can always ask them for a existing and satisfied client contact to ensure about their service.
Look for Coupons: See if any coupons are available on the internet or on their website.
Prepare and Plan Ahead: First prepare a list of your requirements such as diskspace, bandwidth, features, OS, Budget, etc… and then plan to find a hosting company that offers 24x7 customer support via phone, email and live chat. As customer support is the most important aspect of web hosting need to be consider, you never know when your server faces downtime issues.
Terms and Service: This is the most important point, you should confirm all the points mentioned in their SLA.

Uptime at Netcraft is useless for web hosting purchasing decisions. It’s not the uptime that web hosting customers will receive, especially if we’re talking about shared hosting!
Here is a couple of things to look for:
Price
Price is very important. Make sure the price is reasonable. You want a balance. It can’t be too good to be true nor can it be too expensive.
Control Panel
You cannot really go wrong with cPanel as it’s easy to use and feature rich.
Legal Documents
Make sure the host has clear legal documents and make sure you read them. They must have a privacy policy and terms of service.
Fantastico, Installatron
Both of these will allow you to install software such as Wordpress and Joomla in a couple of clicks.
Disk space, bandwidth
It’s always better to go with a hosting plan that has limits. Make sure there is enough but not too much.
Support
What support do you prefer and what support does the host offer? Generally you will want support tickets and live chat. Phone support is a bonus.
Easy upgrades
Make sure your host will allow you to upgrade to a higher plan as your site grows.
Features
What other features does the host offer? How many emails accounts, databases etc
Money back guarantee
If they offer a money back guarantee make sure you read the terms carefully.
Testimonials
Testimonials are great providing they are real.
Jobs section
If the host is looking for staff there is a good chance they are not going anywhere 
I hope I helped.
