As I said before, there are many different "top 10 web hosting companies" lists, and you will find that they are pretty different with each others. Some web sites just list the web hosting companies they have relationship with in the list, and want you to purchase from them. Here, I went through almost all the top 10 ranking list I can find, and choose the 5 companies which are shown up most, and list them in below. This result is pretty objective, and it would be helpful when you decide where to host your web site.

Notes: All below companies will provide 30 days Money Back Guarantee and promise at least 99.9% uptime. Since most of the company below provide more than one web hosting plan, below, I just list the one which their own says Most Popular, and I suggest you to visit their site for more.

Top 5 Web Hosting Companies:
StartLogic
HostMonster
BlueHost
IXWebHosting
iPowerWeb

For this top 5 web hosting companies list, it doesn't mean no one can provide the better service than them. For me, I would like to interpret this honor as they have successfully delivered their customer with what they have promised and also exceeded it. So, they win the reputation. And they are the company you can fully trust to. And keep my another word in head is that "You pay for what you get", if you order a cheap package, don't expect them can host your critical business with millions of transaction one day just because they are the top company. And part of the reason that they are so popular is they target to the market like individual or small business, so that means they serve a lot of people, and is easy to be known. Some companies only target to Enterprise Web Hosting service, such as the companies I list in "Top Dedicated Web Hosting Company" (http://www.webhostingclue.com /WebHosting/TopEntWebHosting.h tml) and have done great job in their own market area, but is not as known as the companies I lists in above.

For example, a lot of people know Microsoft and its product Windows 2003, and know it's a very top company in it's market. But only limited people know about AIX of IBM or Solaris of Sun (AIX and Solaris are both enterprise OS system, and is running in very powerful hardware) since those 2 OS system only target at very big customer with very high system requirement (such as 24*7 available and can handle 1M transactions in 1 hour etc). So, Windows 2003, AIX, Solaris are all OS system, and AIX, Solaris are more powerful
