Hello,
I know a self recommendation doesn't mean anything so I'm going to leave you with some resources that a lot of our customers use to find us. Use Alexa and Google PR to check the validity of a "web hosting review" website. A good review website has several thousand web hosts listed and is actively adding reviews for certain web hosts -
http://findmyhosting.com
http://webhostingstuff.com
http://webhostingjury.com
http://besthostratings.com
http://hostsearch.com
All of those have sections where web hosts can pay to be featured. So be wary of that. Don't take what's being pushed in your face and do reasearch based on reviews.
Also,
http://uptime.besthostratings.com is the only uptime rating site for web hosts I know of that also tries to use the hosting company's customer websites to come up with an overall uptime. Look for hosts that have more than 1 website being monitored. For example, for Arvixe.com, they are checking the uptime for 5 sites. It means they are checking arvixe.com and 4 random customer sites. This gives you a better idea of the host's true uptime.
Let me know if you have any questions.
