Running a website can be very tricky at trying to find the best web host. Heres my story
My website was using a small host and everything was working fine up until MySQL 5.5 came out and then all of a sudden my website was going down every other hour and the server owner didn't do anything to fix it which at the time I was a server administrator and I had to keep resetting the Database server. I put up with the issue for about 5 days and was attempting to fix the error but had no luck. I was getting worried that it was driving my website visitors away from my website so I bit the bullet and upgraded to a paid host. When I moved to a paid host I found my site running both faster and no downtime. Knowing that your paying for quality hosting is the best and getting better support is a huge plus. I'm not saying go out and find the most expensive host but look around at prices and give the hosting company a call and tell them about the site you want to create and ask them which plan is best for you and call more than one company to see which site gives you the best deal and ask them about a money back guarantee in case you don't like their hosting. Also take the time to look up reviews of their web hosting and ask other members of that hosting company what they like and dislike about the hosting.

Shared hosting is not for serious business site with more than 2000 visitors per day. That is the problem in most cases.
