Affordable Web Site Hosting

Finding an affordable web site hosting plan is not that hard – there are plenty of them. But that in itself is the problem: there is too much affordable web site hosting…

So what you need is the advice of someone you trust. I have researched a number of web hosting companies, and want to share my recommendations with you.

Having a web development and optimization firm I need to consult my clients about website hosting as well. Most of my clients want to have an inexpensive website, so affordable site hosting is a logical extension. A lot of time I add clients to our own local hosting solution: FergusHosting.com. It has affordable hosting packages, even an almost free hosting package! The (email) customer support is good, and all sites within our reseller’s solution come with a cPanel. At CAD 8.90 per month (when paying per year) it is a very affordable web site hosting option.

One of the things that our own web hosting package does NOT provide, though, is:

• Multiple domains hosted in the same package
  (so you do not have to purchase additional hosting packages for multiple domains)
• Fantastico installer

This is when we started to look for other options.

And we found BlueHost.

I recommend BlueHost’s hosting service which offers Fantastico-enabled cPanel hosting at very reasonable prices and gives first-rate 24/7 support.
- Rosalind Gardner I had heard of BlueHost before. When I was a member of PPC Classroom I heard well-known blogger Rosalind Gardner recommending the service. And especially the fact that she could talk to a live support person whenever she needed.

When we had problems with iPowerweb, another well-known hosting firm, I asked one of our associated designers about BlueHost. To my delight I heard another glowing recommendation.

BlueHost’s Web Hosting Package

What do you get with BlueHost’s affordable web site hosting?

• UNLIMITED Hosting Space
• UNLIMITED File transfer (Bandwidth)
• Host UNLIMITED domains
• Fantastico installer
• Longer-term plans (12 and 24 month) include free setup and free domain registration and renewals while hosted with BlueHost.
• $50 Free Google and Yahoo Credits
  (to kick-start your Pay-Per-Click campaigns)
• Top Notch 24/7 Support
• Only $6.95 per month
  

Really, who needs more?

Because of all of these benefits I decided to open up a BlueHost hosting account, even though I already had my own resellers account. The Fantastico installer alone is worth it!
