A frequently-asked query:
Looking for affordable, but good web hosting. I am currently using ****** I’ll keep the name out of this, let’s just say their support sucks and I’m looking to find a company with good uptime and good support. When working on websites, sometimes waiting 12-24 hours is not a good thing when i need to get stuff done now! Anyway, point me in the right please I just need a few places to look at and see what I think will work best.
Answer: You are not alone. Many affordable hosting is plagued with inflexibility on their resource limits and haunted by unprofessional support. Web hosting is the heart of your web presence and can mean the start or the end of your business.
Before we give you an absolute answer, these are seven qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
- gives more-than-enough storage,
- offers unlimited bandwidth,
- gives unlimited add-on domains,
- has easy-to-use Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- 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 need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best best domain hosting around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below. Objectively, HG has an amazingly long, 45 days money back guarantee so you have ample time to test them out. They are rated A+ by Better Business Bureau which shows their commitment to customer satisfaction. You also do not have to pay for the first month. You can just try their fully functional hosting service – you pay only $0.01 (you need to use the special coupon code). Do you know any other hosting company that can give you that kind of assurance? Anybody can grab an account from Hostgator for almost FREE.

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

I both recommend and use
http://www.hostmonsterplus.com
They have cpanel, support PHP and MySQL
Their support is fast and helpful most of the time, you can contact them by live chat or phone, whichever you find convenient at the time.
They have unlimited space and transfer.
They give you a free domain for life.
You can also add as many domains (.com, .net, …) as you like so you can have many different sites for 1 hosting price.
They also give you free $50 Google Credits for advertising your site.
They charge $5.95 / month which is very fair for the service they provide.
I just tested the live chat support and was talking with a team member in under 2 minutes, not instant but not as bad as most other.
If you have any more quesitons or need help, just feel free to ask or PM me, I’ve had a lot of experience with them.
Good luck with whichever path you choose.

I use liquid. They have the best support by far! also they use cpanel and fantastico which allows customers to install many widely used software platforms to use on their website. I could go on on about it, but i’ll post a video in my sources.

I recommend one of these: http://www.hosttell.com/
Powweb is on a 50% sale – $3.88/month ($46.56/year), and you get a free domain from them.
Godaddy doesn’t offer a free domain, but you can get one for $2.19 if you’re buying hosting from them, plus they also have a 20% sale at the moment.
