Re: how to choose a websiting hosting vendor
The first thing you should consider is what kind of website you're hosting. How much traffic you expect. What software, customisations you need.
If you're going to run a website which gets a few hits a day then any host should do. If you're running a high traffic website, then you may need to consider a vps.
Lots of web hosts have strict rules regarding shared hosting, make sure you don't violate your t&c's by hosting too many images/videos.
If you're going to be running a cms or something else which requires php to have a lot of memory allocated to it, then ask customer service exactly how much RAM you can use for your scripts.
Some web sites also require that you don't use too much cpu time, and if your scripts do that too often, they may suspend your account.
Figure out your budget, expected traffic, and how resource intensive your site is, and then you'll be a in a better position to choose.

Always choose from the top 10, I have had bad experiences when i chose a cheap web hosting service over the one that was only a little pricey.
If you are hosting a site for an Indian Business do consider the site that these guys have suggested... If you want to host for Outside india Services DONT Choose any Indian Host. It would be a better option to go for a US / UK Hosted Site for International Business.
Chose those that offer you good features & support over cheaper less feature plans...

Re: how to choose a websiting hosting vendor
I was looking at Unlimited Web Hosting Provider in India - ZNetIndia.com (specifically Sliver plan) for hosting the site. Any feedback on this vendor?
Assuming a medium traffic on the website, I would be putting some pictures (not much) and text (no videos). Later would like to provide bloging options as well.

Try Hostable.com - Get Free Web Hosting for 3 years. Web Hosting, Linux Web Hosting, Domain Names, Email Hosting by Hostable
They've got 3 years at 99 cents. Then the account auto-renews at $7 a month.
Use a netcard instead of a credit card if you're going to use this so your credit card won't be charged.

Re: how to choose a websiting hosting vendor
I have not used it personally so can't really comment. But reviews are bad :
ZnetIndia review, stats, hosting plans, coupons, news & testimonials
Reviews of znetindia.com, ZnetIndia uptime stats and user comments
My suggestion stay away from these Indian hosting providers unless they are really good. Even free hosting of Byethost is lot better !

Re: how to choose a websiting hosting vendor
Go daddy anyone? thoug my own site is not hosted there Im planning to host my additional sites with them.
Go daDDY IS trusted name in Hosting world....who actually made it possible for anyone to own a website back in 1990s......so im sticking with that image of theirs....unless someone has a bad experience with em.
THE key thing for the orig query is , the host will depend on the following
1) Whats the purpose of the site ( Biz, Family, Fun/hobby, Forums etc etc)
2) What is the price that you are willing to spend on this ( if u can afford it, dedicated hosting is the way , but frm your earlier post it doesnt look like)
3) as someone said earlier...what apps and what content u gonna be runnign and what resources are they expected to hogg.
Hope have nt confused u further.....although I might have
Cheers

bluehost should be okay for basic websites, just don't take their 'unlimited' webspace/traffic claims literally.
