I mean you can get GREAT shared webhosting for 10$ or less a month (bluehost, hostgator, dreamhost are just a few) why risk those "shady" 1 and 2$ deals... 10$ is soooo cheap.

My strategy for finding good webhost is not to care about price, but search for their forums, or test their customer service. And how openly they are disclosing the info. One that I use, has a freely accessible info about status of all their servers, and they only cost $3 per month, for like 20+ websites I got with them. (Sure...they are only suitable for hosting low traffic or static sites, because they oversell, but given their price I found they information discosure level to be pretty top.) Every webhost will once have a problem or two, the thing is how they react in response to them. Too bad we only find out once the problems arrive :( Webhosting is really a strange field on it’s own.

I think it's right to look how a hosting company is solving problems and what kind of technical stuff and hardware they are using. Moving (bigger) websites from a host to new one takes a lot of time... Right, cheap hosting can be very expensive if the service looks bad after a short period.

I would personally stay out of the low end hosting business. You are too much of a price taker. I would go with the high end side, with lots of profitable premium features medium-sized organizations are looking for. Interesting insights into the business of webhosting.
