Does anyone know of a good online business hosting site/service that is affordable?

A common problem:

Any suggestions are appreciated. Also, if you know of a good site or book of tips on how to run this sort of business, that would also be helpful….. Thanks!!!


Answer: This is quite a popular question. Free website hosting is probably not for you if you are serious about having a website. Web hosting is the heart of your web presence and can mean the success and failure for your business.

Before we give you an absolute answer, these are seven qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:

  1. does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
  2. gives unlimited webspace,
  3. offers no limit on bandwidth,
  4. gives multiple add-on domains,
  5. has easy-to-use Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
  6. has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
  7. can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.

To answer your question, many experienced web developers suggest to try Hostgator. If you are building your first website and needs a hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best hosting and domain registrar around.

With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below.

Hostgator Complaints

No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:

  1. No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
  2. You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.

If you are still not sure if HG is right for you, or you have specific query about anything at all, try the Live Chat at HG. They are fast and knowledgeable. Just ask and you shall receive.

  1. Your best bet is to partner up with a company that direct sales a product. That’s what we did. You can create a web site, or have the company set up a web site for you to sale the products and services. Or collaborate with different companies. After you’ve set it up, you’ll have to generate traffic to your site as means of either advertisement (which you’ll have to spend a lot of money doing) or the more effective way is word of mouth and referals, which are free and more effective. Partner up with a company that gives you monthly earnings from services that you put people on either by in person, phone or from your web site. What I mean is for instance, my husband partnered up with a telecommunications service provider and all the cellular phone companies. Someone purchase a cell phone from our web site, or a land line or Internet service or whatever, the product it’self your able to provide at a whole sale cost as a distributer through the providers. When someone gets on the services, the company pays you a percentage of that person’s billing every single month, month after month for the referal from you by word of mouth or by your web site.
    If you’d like to see an example of what I’m talking about, your more then welcome to take a look at my web site at http://www.tiffanyvague.acnrep.com Take a look at the products and services there, tour the company etc and to give you an idea of how you should have each of the companies and make extra money off the effort that you provided to these companies.
    Once you decide on a product or products and services, you need to start driving "traffic" to your web site. A lot of work but well worth the effort when your income starts going and rapidly increases. The most effective way I’ve found is simply word of mouth and referrals. We’ve had our business for over six years and this has been the most effective way. Loyal customers bring in more customers by the way you treat them, the quality of the items you have and the timely matter of the service you provide.
    Get a product and or service that’s high in demand. If you create your own web site, make sure it’s professional looking and not cheesy like a lot of web sites look out there. I’m not a web master, so I had the company do mine for me.
    I created a blog on my yahoo 360 page profile on home based business opportunities for online and off line businesses. A lot of information on this blog on different businesses, what it takes, as well as the truth on business complaints, etc. Any questions, feel free to email me at kaiden4@aol.com

    Hope this info helps

  2. Yahoo hosts webpages I believe…..Go Daddy does as well as Google and others. Usually run about 10 bucks a month. If it’s mostly a mail order business, I’d seriously recommend opening an Ebay store.

  4. It depends on the overall size of the amount of traffic you will be receiving on a regular basis as well as growth potential.

    Check out webair.com for some really good virtual hosting packages as well as some really great dedicated packages.

    I have been hosting with them for over 5 years and have had literally zero downtime.

    Good luck in your search.
