Hostmonster eats up the competition

Hostmonster is a subsidiary of Bluehost. Now this explains why the advertising is all very similar in colors,  themes and placement. The odd thing is that Hostmonster gives all the same excellent service as Bluehost but it costs less. Also, Hostmonster gives unlimited space, transfer and domain room. My only reasoning for this is that Bluehost wants to build Hostmonster up so that they can better compete with the other giants of the hosting industry. Fine, this is good for you and I. We will take all the value of Hostmonster with the fabulous Bluehost support team.
Some of the great Host monster features are:
Instant set up (Most companies take 6 to 24 hours before you can use your site.)

A on click installation for over 50 Scripts

Free Site Builder program

24/7 inhouse support. (This is soooo important as you really want to talk to someone that is onsite with the datacenters.)

An average holdtime for phone support of less than 2 minutes. (OK nobody likes to be on hold so this one needs no explanation.)

So with unlimited storage space for sites,

And unlimited bandwidth for your sites,

And 100 MySql databases for each account,

And a price of just $6.95 a month with free set up,

HostMonster is the best value of any webhosting company on Earth.

A Great Control Panel with Strong Support make Host Gator a Good Choice

Host Gator Continues to be the best value for Web Hosting In the United States. They have hosting plans begining in price at $4.95 a month. This is fine if you have one website, but if you are like me and continually dream up new ideas or if you want to have space for family members to build sites, the best value is the Host Gator $7.95 a month plan.

Host Gator comes with one of my favorite cpanel (control panel) layouts as it has the best stats program and data back up programs built right in.

Support for Host Gator is furnished through three pathways.

First there is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week phone support available. Simply pick up the phone call the toll free number and ask any question you might have. Don’t worry that your questions might be foolish or right out of the newbie handbook. The crew at Host Gator will guide you through anything. Second, you can chat online with a rep and be guided though installations, name server changes, domain alias set ups and anything else you don’t understand. Finally if you have a problem that is more technical in difficulty you can email in a “ticket” and it will be routed to the highest level of support expertise.

Host gator is one of my top nine for two reasons… huge amounts of webspace at super low pricing and solid support 24 hours a day.

Blue Host Gives Unlimited Space and Bandwidth

If you have never heard of Blue Host it is because most of their growth and popularity has been from web users overseas. They are US based but who is to say why some hosting companies become popular where? In the case of Blue Host their rise in usage and sales is due to a unique pricing and space given structure. For one price as low as $ 6.95 a month when purchasing a two year hosting package Blue Host offers unlimited space, unlimited transfer (bandwidth) and unlimited websites! They will even start you off with a free domain name if you are a new customer. On hosting purchased “month to month” there is a $30.00 set up fee. Blue Host has solid 24/7 support by telephone.

Another nice feature of Blue Host is there free script package included with the hosting. The package has Mambo and Joomla two very easy to master website building programs.

Blue Host pricing ranges from $6.95 to $9.95 a month dependent on the length of time you commit for. Blue Host is a great value if… purchased one year at a time.

Godaddy Hosting is cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.

Let’s talk about Godaddy hosting. Many people complain that Godaddy hosting is simply too hard to use. It is… until you learn how to get around within the Godaddy control panel. Once you learn that, is is tremendously easy to use. There is a built in ftp client, (Program for uploading files).
Godaddy hosting has one click installation of Wordpress blogs and around a hundred other great applications, and Godaddy Hosting is cheap cheap cheap cheap cheap!

How do I know all this… I use Godaddy hosting for twenty of my websites. The features of Godaddy hosting are as follows:
First, The base price is for monthly usage without a long term commitment. The plans start at $4.29 a month but don’t bother with that one. The deal you want is the “Deluxe” plan at $6.99. The deluxe plan gets even cheaper if you sign up for a yearly rate. (Which I always use.)
There are never any hidden fees. As a matter of fact, with every hosting account you buy Godaddy gives you a new domain name for just $1.99.
This hosting plan comes with 150 Gigabytes of space and 1500 GB transfer. Now that is not near what is offered by others but if you don’t need it why pay for it? You wouldn’t buy a Semi truck to haul one bushel of potatoes.
Godaddy phone support is excellent and they are endlessly patient with beginners. If the tech person who takes your call doesn’t have the answer for you they will go find someone that does.
They are extremely friendly and polite. This really helps at 1:00 AM when you are tired and confused as to why your latest site isn’t loading.
I use Godaddy hosting and I recommend it. It is perfect for beginners and adaptable for pros with hundreds of sites as well.

Launch your web endeavors with very affordable hosting

Jump Launch is pretty good hosting. They have strong support by phone and chat and offer a high amount of space and transfer for your money. Actually the main selling point of Jumplaunch is the money.
They have recently cut prices on their 600 gigabyte plan down to $5.95 per month when purchased on a one year plan. Basically, this means they are one dollar a month cheaper than most hosting plans.
Jump launch includes website building software for free. Which is often an option elsewhere.

If there is one feature that sets Jumplaunch apart from othe hosting companies it is there unigue troubleshooting support system. It is built “wizard’ style and will guide you through a process of elimination routine when you have problems with setting up a site.
Jump launch also has a thorough knowledge database for those who want to read more and learn more about web development and internet applications.

Papa has the hosting tools to get the job done

Most Web Hosting companies offer comparable pricing for the amount of storage space and bandwidth allowed. In truth your choice of which company to use of the nine I recommend is probably not going to be based on a dollar a month plus or minus.

Support, support, support… those are the three most import factors when purchasing hosting. And… this is why I rank Host papa very highly. Host papa has excellent phone people who are skilled at all phases of web application including set up of MySql databases.

They also have an abundence of freebie frills and features. The tool list for Host Papa is very impressive.

All plans come with built in webmail, a quality cPanel, Fantastico, Site Builder and the B2Evolution blog platform. This is an exceptionally good application when combined with a Zen or OS commerce.

Host Papa will also pay the cost of renewing your domain registration for life as long as you continue hosting with them.

There is no set up fee (very important) HostPapa has several different hosting plans but most offer unlimited starage and bandwidth coupled with unlimited sites per account. Soooo if you have big expansion plans Hostpapa is a good choice.

Your Best Choice for web hosting in the UK

I write a blog for a famous UK Television show and I host this blog out of the UK for a variety of reasons. For all my UK hosting I use Fasthosts. Requirements for a proper hosting firm in the UK are so different than those needed in other parts of the word.
To begin with most of the domains for websites in the United Kingdom use the .co.uk extention. These are registered in the UK and as such the Domain Management is more rapidly served locally.

Next, If you live in the UK or have a UK targeted website you really are better off with telephone support that is within the country. Meaning a number that is easily dialed and reached.

Finally, there is the issue of language. There is American English, Canadian English, Australian English, etc. Website creation, management and hosting in the UK is very difficult when, even if you get the support person in the Phillipines on the phone, they have the foggiest notion of what has really got you chuffed.

If you live in the UK or at least your website does Fasthosts will be your best choice.

There prices are a little higher than other global hosting companies but they offer much more personal service. Home plans start at just under 4GBP per month. Business plans ore price around 30 Quid.

The base storage is a tad low but not a problem at 4 Gigabytes storage. That is more than enough for several sites on one hosting account. transfer and bandwidth allowances are unlimited so if your project really takes off you will till stay online. Fasthost had a 100% uptime rating for all of 2007 so you can count on reliable service.
The hosting comes with plenty of frills and extras like website building programs test domains to let you try out your latest grand designs.

Finally the equipment used by Fasthosts for both data handling and file sharing is beyond state of the art. It is the best available anywhere in the world. And that means your site loads faster and never sends an error not found message out.

For web hosting in the UK there is but one valid choice. Fasthosts
