I have been using hosting services for almost 3 years now. I spent over a month trying to find a web host provider, tried 2 out - 1and1 and ixhosting. I ended up at Godaddy and really liked the convenience of their control panel and ease of use.

As I added more sites to my portfolio - I wanted to update to a bigger plan - I researched and ended up at Godaddy and got a Virtual Server - now I have a Dedicated Server and use Godaddy - but what I actually have is a reseller account with Wild West Domains so that I get a steeper discount since I own hundreds of domains.

I even tried Hostgator but because I ran a couple of scripts that caused the web server service to stop, but the service at Hostgator was awful. So, I stuck with Godaddy and will stay with them.
