The things that make these hosts good or bad don't show up on the chart. 24 hour support that can be reached, possibly even by phone. Reliability and uptime, with guarantees. The ability to cope when the worst happens (my hosts have had fires, hurricanes, floods, power interruptions that went on for several days...)

I wouldn't call those the 80 best web hosting providers. It's missing, say, mediatemple, linode, slicehost, serverbeach, rackspace, mosso, just to name a few.

yeah, definitely flag this. Dreamhost, 1and1... Are you kidding me? Those are some of the worst I have ever dealt with.

Any site that links to CI Host without it being a rick roll (or, more appropriately, goatse) fails by default.

Whuu? Should we flag every blog that puts ads on their page? Look, it's one thing if there are 5 hosts listed, but this guy obviously put a ton of effort into gather this data.

Don't be so quick to pull the trigger, folks.
