I'm looking for fast and cheap hosting at the moment and I don't want to rely on users opinions only (many if not most of them are sponsored by, or are actually from, the companies themselves anyway).

Let's say I have 100 addresses from each:

  • Media Temple,
  • Dreamhost,
  • Bluehost,
  • Hostgator
  • GoDaddy,
  • etc.

I know I could ping them all and compare response times and such, but are there other, more robust ways of testing how quickly these sites respond?

There's plenty of tools out there to test this. Simply Google the string "Web page testing". For example, webpagetest.org allows you to select a location and gives a nice breakdown on a lot of statistics.

The best bet though is to use the free trial and upload your site to the host and see how it performs under testing.
