A web host is a provider that keeps all the files from your sites on its servers, making them available when people type in the URL eg. http://www.thinkgenial.com.
I currently have 8 sites hosted with Tsohost who I have been with for around 18 months. Here’s a quick review:

UK Based
Tsohost are a UK based hosting company with servers and customer service based in the UK. The location of your servers is important for search engine optimisation so if you are targeting customers in the UK you want UK based hosting.
The location of the customer service is important if you need to contact them. An American call centre may be closed when you want to call and that call may cost you a bit from the UK too.
Customer Service
The customer service from Tsohost is excellent. Their call centre is open 9am – 11pm and their staff are very technically knowledgeable.
The usual route if you have an issue is to submit a ticket and in my experience their reported average response time of 12 minutes is accurate. If I have ever had a problem it has been quickly and efficiently dealt with.
Products
The first domains I bought were from 123reg.com. However I looked into getting them from Tsohost and found them to be cheaper so have bought my last few domains with Tsohost. There is less messing around too if you buy hosting and domains from one place.
For one site I needed an SSL Certificate. This makes the site more secure and is standard for e-commerce sites. I looked around for the best deal and found that was with Tsohost too….
That brings us on to the pricing which starts at £14.99 for 2 sites. I am on the PRO package which gets you 6 sites for £49.99/ yr with a free domain worth £8.99. My other 2 sites I bought through a Tsohost reseller. If you need to add any more sites to the PRO package its an extra £25 for 5.

Summary
For a small business owner like myself or a blogger I can’t recommend Tsohost highly enough. You get a handful of sites hosted for next to nothing and the customer support is first class. Reviews of their high end packages seem to be favourable too.
If you are looking for hosting in the UK I would definitely consider Tsohost. Use the promotional code JWTG10 to get 10% off any hosting package for life. Good for one per customer.
I hope you found this review useful. Have you used Tsohost or another hosing company? What was your experience? Feel free to leave a comment.
