Whois data is a very good indicator and if the name is fairly fresh you should ask for prior company name. Then you can research the old name and see what type of reputation they had in the past. I would love an unbiased BBB type rating service for hosts but they are just prone to corruption. Most all the existing and so called reputable host rating/review/award services give higher rating or only rate paid advertisers.
