Hi guys,
can anyone advice on the leading web-hosts for commercial\high traffic websites? eg: the host for nairaland. what are the capabilities such host need to deliver in order to meet such performance demands, & can you give a list of these performances required. thx

There are things to consider when deploying your website.
1. Where are your users browsing from?
2. What kind of contents are you serving (i.e video, text only, audio)?
3. How much are you willing to spend per month?

1. Users will b mostly from Nigeria
2. content will be txt & pictures
3. value that is worth the service

but what i require are examples of web-hosts capable of delivering top service in terms of reliability(99.99%), security, storage & bandwidth allowance, support, etc. i'm not a web-host expert, so can anyone give me examples of these top-notch web-hosts?

Linode is a top developer-friendly entry-level host.
