Are there any web hosting companies other than Firehost that offer affordable hosting & intrusion protection?

A frequently-asked problem:

I am looking for an affordable web hosting company to host a relatively small static marketing site.
I would like the protection that Firehost.com offers (intrusion monitoring/prevention) which protects your site against most automated drive-by attacks and scans. Problem is, they charge a minimum of 0 a month. I was looking for something cheap along the lines of GoDaddy or iPage but they don’t offer security services other than SSL or SSH access. Any ideas?
@ Alexander W,
I should have been more specific about the nature of the site. For the most part it is static. It does have very limited form functions and a tiny bit of PHP. Due to the nature of the site (IT related) it is often a target of hackers. Beside the normal day to day automated drive-by attacks, there were a number of targeted attacks against the site, underlying web server, and OS. While you can secure your code to the best of your ability, there are still other factors such as shared environments, system patching etc to consider and monitor. If I had the time and a few extra bucks, I would feel safer hosting it myself, but I don’t. With that being said, responses to this question should only be names of hosting companies and when possible, any additional information as to why they would be a good choice.

KoolHosting doesn’t provide any public phone number for support, just a page/form where I can leave my info.

Also, their support page just takes you to a forum in which all of the topics and categories list 0 posts and 0 threads. Doesn’t look too promising.

Answer: Warning! Using unreliable cheap hosting can leave you devastated when your hard work disappear without warning. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your online presence and can mean the start or the end of your business.

To answer your query, here are 7 qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:

1. does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
2. gives more-than-enough storage,
3. offers unlimited bandwidth,
4. gives unlimited add-on domains,
5. has easy-to-use Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
6. has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
7. can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.

Hostgator Complaints

No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:

1. No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
2. You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.
