Of course, a shared host will always have it's problems but I've never heard of anything extreme as what you've described. You have to keep on writing to their support and explain the problems you've been having in great detail and I'm sure they will sort it out because, as I say, those problems are unacceptable.

Sad to say my main Wordpress site fail almost everyday. Since I transferred to JustHost from my old host, bounce rate went from around 3% to 84%! Everytime I complaint someone new responds saying it's working at their end or to Ctrl+F5 or my IP was unblocked. I have sites on GoDaddy too and they are way better than this, though I don't recommend GoDaddy either for obvious reasons :) (except for their commercials of course...LOL). I've seen bad reviews about BlueHost, HostGator as well but I think it's expected on shared hosting. So VPS is the next step.

Some smaller companies can be a very good idea. And with <a href="http://robcubbon.com/recommended-vps-hosts-for-wordpress" rel="nofollow">VPS</a> and dedicated you know what you're getting.

I tried Bluehost and did not expect this, but Godaddy on an identitcal test site is giving me much better speed. Bluehost started well but just got slower and slower. They are CPU throttling me like crazy one day and nothing another. I'm also getting timed out like I never did with Godaddy. I added a CDN and pushed my yslow and google page speed to top, yet the Goddady test site still wins and is actually dealing with real traffic with other active sites on it. I just tried Bluehost support. They ignore the question and information and tell you go and read more. Bluehost looked promising at first, but they seem to me to be another bunch of oversellers, promising way more than anyone should. I think if you end up on the wrong server with any of these big companies - you're stuffed. Maybe time to try a smaller local company and VPS. Yikes.

There maybe a tiny SEO benefit but I find that can be counteracted by setting a geographical target in Google's Webmaster Tools. But my research came in fairly heavily against GoDaddy as a host. So I'd keep your domain name registered with GoDaddy but use one of the above as a host. I hope this helps. Hello David, I wouldn’t worry about US hosts in terms of speed.

I'm concerned whether US based hosts are good for sites serving UK users. Is there a speed or SEO issue there? I can't seem to find a good answer to this. I've been using Goddady and find them sluggish with Wordpress. Fine with HTML sites though. Great post. I’m concerned whether US based hosts are good for sites serving UK users.

Lots of people seem to be pretty happy with Bluehost. I'd never heard about HostNine so will have to check them out. You're right about having a reseller account so you can start up multiple sites at the flick of a switch. Very empowering. cPanel or an equivalent is essential for me.
