What is a good website hosting site?

What's a good site for hosting a website?

• What is a good/cheap website hosting company? I know godaddy is cheap, but I heard a lot of bad things about them. I should add that this site is for a teacher. So I don't need a lot of space/features. I prefer to pay monthly instead of paying for 12 or more months at a time. Thanks.

• Answer:

  There are literally thousands of web hosting services out there some operate with their own servers and some operate as a reseller meaning they purchase a reseller account on a host and sell it under their own name. There are various things you look for when trying to find a host. First since you're new I'd suggest looking one with excellent support team who are willing to help with your technical questions and general website help. Also you want to consider pricing it's a very competitive market so you can find many great prices at rock bottom prices with various coupon codes. Lastly you want to cons I'd also caution you looking for reviews online many reviews online are actually sociated and influenced in some way. You can see an excellent host being trashed but a low grade host being praised it can be quite confusing. If you're looking to go with the popular brands with known great service some would be: Host Gator, Host Dime, BlueHost The cost of hosting varies greatly with shared hosting starting as low as $2-$15 depending on the package you purchase and the host you go with. You also need to be caution of overselling host. Many host oversell since they are actually running at deficit. What they do is offer crazy packages claiming you this much harddrive but they can't actually provide everyone that quoted amount of diskspace. Essentially they aspect not everyone will use the max amount of space thus it's a good promotional stunt making them believe they are getting more for their buck. If it's managed proper there isn't really any issue but if not your host can run into quite some issue as slow load time which will affect your SEO. A slow host will also affect your Search Engine Rankings and affect user experience thus you want to be careful in choosing hosts. VPS and Dedicated hosting do cost a lot more since it's hard to oversell a VPS or a Dedicated Hosting they can range from $30-$400 depending on where you go and what features you add. Generally if you're just wanting to host one business website I'd go with shared hosting. Depending on the amount of media you have on your website I'd say it'll take no more than 100 MB space max 1GB and these are high estimations. Most of my own sites only take about 10MB or less depending on the size. You don't need much bandwidth as well you just need to be save 10GB but for a high media site but for a text site with a couple of images I can get about 1000 page views only consuming 100MB so you got plenty of space. These are the large hosts however there are also many established and great host which are also reliable the key thing is doing research. I'd caution you once again on going with the top ten host recommendations kind of things. Host pay big money to affiliates. They pay $100/ client even shared hosting this is why many of these reviews and these sites will recommend bad host even if they know it's bad. Also some of these sites are actually owned by the host itself. BTW please do get in contact with me: [email protected] I'm sure I can help you out with finding a host.
