Hi TheFox,

If you want a truly reliable web host with quality service, I’d strongly recommend Host Gator. It does offer a domain registration service coupled with its web hosting.

But generally, a domain name registered with a web host costs a few bucks more per year. That’s one thing you must know.

If you register your domain name with a domain registrar, you can get cheaper. It’s just that you need to change your dns server manually (it’s not difficult though).

However, if quality is your main concern and you want to save yourself the hassle of manually changing dns server, and you don’t mind paying a few bucks more for the domain name when you sign up with the web hosting, then I don’t think you’ll have a problem with Host Gator.

Here’s a complete review of Host Gator. It’s very information heavy, that’s why I can’t copy everything over here. Go have a good read (will probably take you about 10 mins but it’s worth it if you can get one that provides you with the best reliability and earns you the most profits):

Oh, Php/Mysql and Apache are available in it too. So you don’t have to worry about that.

Hope that helps. Cheers 😉

Hi,
I suggest you this company: https://www.hostmonster.com/track/getafree/[y]

for me is the best deal quality/price on the web.

You have front page extension but also so many other services:
you can host unlimited domains in one account and you have 300 gb space.

An extremely interesting feature is Fantastico.
Fantastico is a collection of pre-installed script which allows you to install forums, image galleries, blogs, even live chat programs on your website in few clicks.

This company also offers you a great control panel with statistics, credit card support, unlimited email, unlimited MySql databases and much more … I suggest you to have a look.

Hi! One thing to remember is that when you go with a cheaper hosting company the service will reflect that to some degree. Also in terms of options most companies offer the same thing which is all you really need. Here are answers to your specific questions:

Site Builder / Template
I recommend not using a hosting companies site builder as then you will be stuck with them forever. Buy a template and customize it how you want and host that with them. Then if they suck its easier to move 🙂

What is better Linux OS or Windows?
The only reason you need Windows is if you want to use ASP or something like that and Windows hosting tends to cost more. For a simple website just go with Linux. You don’t need to know anything about Linux to use it as you will just be using FTP to upload your files and the hosting companies control panel which will be really simple!

Do I need any special software, or does it work the same?
Nope you don’t need any special software, it all works the same. Even if you moved to a Windows host it would work fine in most cases.

So which host?
Your requirements are pretty broad as you probably want to spend about $10 dollars a month and just need a small linux package. Here are some recommendations:

Some larger hosts that have a good reputation:
HostGator – www.hostgator.com – Good host, I use them for a dedicated server.

Lunarpages – www.lunarpages.com – Has a good reputation and very active forums community that is super nice and helps with a lot of stuff.

HostNine – www.hostnine.com – Newer host but one of the fastest growers this year and great reviews.

BlueHost/HostMonster – bluehost.com/hostmonster.com – Nice solid cheap host.

Btw, all the above use cpanel which is a really easy to use control panel that you are going to love!

If that isn’t enough for you try the below tool, it can sort through every host in WebHostingUnleashed.com’s database by all sorts of factors, the below is set to sort for every host that has more than 6 reviews with a combined rating of 85% or more, about 32 came back.

I strongly recommend Just Host. I have been using them for several years now and they are great. You can get discounts here at https://thehostjudge.com

admin answers:

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to select the same operating system for your hosting account that you use on your own computer. This is simply not true. In other words, you can select Linux for your hosting account if you currently use Windows or Mac operating systems on your own computer.

Useful article regarding your question:
https://www.articlesbase.com/web-hosting-articles/best-web-host-compatible-with-mac-macintosh-top-3-cheap-web-hosting-plans-827690.html

Yes, all pages and files on a standard web site will have a direct URL. To answer your question more specifically, we would need to know what site building tool you are using.

First let me say I am a professional web designer and you do NOT want to host on Yahoo. It is in my opinion second worst hosting company that I know of.

Go to https://www.samwilson3d.com , there is a list of hosts (right side menu) they all have cpanel and something called “fantastico” the least expensive of these plans is around $50 per YEAR

Godaddy has given me problems of every kind including MySQL and FTP problems and they are just a pain in the butt

Now depending on what kind of site you want, I recommend Coppermine Photo Gallery or Joomla or Zen cart which is a 1 click install using Fantastico, you can make this look however you want bu only using Photoshop and CSS. I would start with a premade template designed for Coppermine and then make adjustments from there to make the site the way you want it.(the template can just be a starting point or you can not use one at all)

Joomla can also be installed with one click using Fantastico and that may also be the way to go.

-there are about 20 different 1-click install solutions that you can install and customize with Fantastico

I’ve tried various differing hosting providers who’ve had many problems.
For the last 4 years now, I’ve been hosted with https://www.hostmonsterplus.com and haven’t been happier since nor considered changing again.

I’d personally refund my money from Yahoo as I hear they’re almost as unreliable as GoDaddy.

And I’ll give you my recommendation of https://www.hostmonsterplus.com
They have uncapped storage and transfer.
They will give you a free domain for the life of your account.
They have php and mysql, i use these all the time.
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.

If you go with them and have any trouble making your site feel free to PM me, I have a lot of experience there.

Whatever you choose to do, the best of luck to you.

If you’re only loading static pages, you may be okay with Yahoo Web Hosting, but forget it if you use dynamic content with a database. (I believe this includes all of the popular blogging tools.)

I recently set up a PHP/MySQL site on yahoo hosting, and through Google Analytics discovered a few weeks ago that my traffic had dropped considerably for no apparent reason. When I went to my site, I got a message (built into the open source CMS I use) saying that the site couldn’t connect to the database.

I spent an hour or so on hold to reach a rep by phone, and the rep was courteous, etc. After some research, the rep told me there were others reporting this problem, and the cause was the web servers not connecting with the database servers. They sent a follow up email a day or so later saying the problem was fixed, blah blah, but it wasn’t. I had to send a couple of messages back and forth to convince them the problem was still present, explaining that I had set up Google Analytics to log the error message.

After a few days the problem disappeared for a week or so, but now is back with a vengeance. Now it takes longer for the error to appear on-screen, sometimes a couple of minutes, meaning most visitors won’t even stick around long enough for my error message to appear.

I’m shopping around for a new provider.

A free web host
https://somee.com
My one ASP.Net 2 web application https://indiancoins.somee.com is already running on it.

admin answers:

Hello,

All of these are different features provided by the web host. Most of the objects in the list are different programming languages that are allowed to execute on the server(python, ruby, etc). Others are database related like the MySql. There are also a lot of general website options listed like security, email, statistics.

If you aren’t the person who is physically creating the site then it would be a good idea to sit down with the coder and discuss the hosting needs before going ahead and selecting a host. If you ARE the person creating the site then you will need to do a bit more studying on how to program your website to be an interactive, database-driven website.

Good Luck =)

What you are looking for in available with webs.com

Webs.com is free and very easy to use.
I am using it and found very good.
But the only limitation with free version is in the url
it will be like www.yoursitename.webs.com

Just take one care when you are signing up for webs.com
While you are selecting your website template there is a option which says “Use Advanced (HTML) Mode”. Click this link instead of selecting the templates offered by webs.com
