Reliable web hosting that allows paypal payment?

A common problem:

Can anyone recommend? I only use paypal to pay for things online. I know it’s limiting, but I feel safer that way.

Website will be small business, basically it’s my graphic portfolio. If the web host has a built in website builder that would be a bonus because my website building skills are limited ( I’m sure I could figure it out, but it would take a lot of time and I’d like to get something decent online for now and then I can work on a much better site when I get free time)


Answer: Warning! Using unreliable cheap hosting can leave you devastated when your hard work disappear without warning. Web hosting is the heart of your business 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:

  1. has excellent support and rated at least A+ by Better Business Bureau (BBB),
  2. gives more-than-enough diskspace,
  3. offers unlimited bandwidth,
  4. gives unlimited add-on domains,
  5. has friendly 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, why not try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” 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. 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?

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. Personally, I recommend E2 web hosting. They offer great hosting for a very affordable price. They also offer a free sitebuilder tool for creating a website without any knowledge of html code. Or, even better, use E2’s one click installer and get yourself concrete5. It’s a very easy CMS – you can create a great website within a few minutes with concrete5.
    You can pay them by paypal or credit card.

    Here’s a link to check them out: http://www.unlimband.com/webhost/e2.php

    I host most of my sites with them and I’m very satisfied with their service.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Try HostGator…they have a website builder plus free website templates/designs. If you use the coupon code OCTOBERFREE all you have to do is pay 1 cent to try them out… Its good thru October. Hope this helps.

    ps… you can get a buynow button code thru your paypal acct so u can sell your graphics.

  6. You can go with hostgator.com or Dreamhost.com with coupons which is give you some good discounts.
    Dreamhost coupon give you 50$ discount so use it now LESS50
    Hostgator coupon is give you 25% discount on your plan 25OFFCPCODE

  7. These days you can use your credit card with some of the known big hosts but I understand that you want to pay with paypal.

    I’d recommend you look at Arvixe (listed in the website below). They have a site builder called RvSiteBuilder which is reasonably good but then if it is for your business, I’d suggest that you start looking at hiring a freelancer who can spruce up your website (not using the web site builder) so that it looks completely professional. I come from a professional background and I have seen that a professional website impacts your client’s mindset a lot and can many a times make them go for you if your website looks great. If it looks as if a high school kid pulled it together in his spare time, then it reduces your chances of conversions. But yeah, in the meantime, the site builder should be a plus.

    I host with them and I’ve found their service and hosting very good.

    Hope that helps.

  9. You can use paypal to pay for domain name registration,e-mail/webmail,blogs,album/storage,websites,web hosting etc at http://TheRegistrar.net and it’s all cheap,easy-to-use and reliable.

    For a graphic portfolio site you could try out the free version of http://Wix.com – not sure if they accept paypal if you want to upgrade though.

    Good luck!
