How to find the best web hosting plan


choose web hostingA few days ago, a friend told me about an article he read in the Internet about people making a living via their blog sites. Since he didn’t have much experience on how to start a web site, I sent him a few links to look through. After a few days of reading and researching, he managed to start his very first blog site – Google Adsense Tutorial. The blog site was hosted on blogger.com and he asked me about the possibility of hosting on a proper web hosting company since he has heard of blogspot sites being hijacked and removed for no reason.

I told him that there are many web hosting out there in the market today. It all depends on one’s needs and requirements. For some, they would go for lower cost while some would go for one which provides unlimited bandwith.

So his next question to me, where is a good place to start looking for web hosting plans? And if possible, it should show him a list of top web hosting plans so that he could easily compare them side by side.

Without hesitating, I recommended to him a site that’s at the back of my head called FindMyHosting.com

findmyhosting

FindMyHosting.com allows one to easily search and compare web hosting plans.

On the home page, you can view the top ten web hosting plan which is updated on a daily basis.

The comprehensive search feature also allows one to search for plans based on:

  • Country
  • Monthly price
  • Platform – Linux or Windows
  • Disk space
  • Bandwidth per month

Another good feature of FindMyHosting.com is the directory of hostings. These directories are simply a group of similar featured web hosting plans. Say you’re only interested to look for plans which supports PHP and MySql capabilities, then clicking on the PHP/MySQL Web Hosting Plans shows you exactly those that are capable of doing so. Some of the directories includes

For a complete list do check out  FindMyHosting.com!

As for my friend, he ended up going for JustHost.com simply because it was ranked #1 on the top 10 list. Fast, simple and easy. Sometimes people just need some simple recommendations to make some decisions.

      i’ve always had luck with loudsign.com. they are cheap and reliable. but i know each host has its strengths and weaknesses. some do the low cost thing with minimal services. some do really high end dedicated servers with great service. word of mouth is always the best way to find them, in my opinion.

      In our experience, finding the best web hosting is trial and error..we tried four before we settled on the current one. Your post is a good guide for those searching for a reliable hosting out there.

      I use Midphase. They’re good, not great. I guess as long as my sites stay up, I should not complain.

      I will check out what you have to say before I set up another site.

      I had one problem with Godaddy that you all should know:
      I was advertising a product and suggesting that some celeb (I won’t say which) is supporting the product, because that what I saw on the sell page.

      And then the celeb’s lawyer told godaddy that I’m doing something illigal and godaddy suspended all of my godaddy account, which meant a big loss of money.

      there really are heaps and heaps of web hosting services out there and finding the best one that meets your needs can be a little tricky… sites like these are a sure-fire way to finding what you are looking for… some people who are starting out do not even know what web hosting is… it would greatly help if they read up about web hosting so that they can also identify what their needs are…

      The first step in choosing the host is to calculate your own needs and resources. You must be aware that how much you can afford as a monthly fees and what are the main key features that are the basic necessity of your site and that they must be in the hosting plan you purchase.

      Hi there.
      I would suggest one should bit of search at reviews sites, award sites to get onto a good host, which is so essential for business, else one keep changing file from host to host instead of doing business. Any way for their good preformance with my sites, http://247-host.com is my recommended host.

      Thanks for this site, however I would say that there are some free webhosting companies as well which you can test out like 000webhost so to get a good feel about blogging world.

      Choosing a stable company is very important because once you’re getting high amount of traffic, your hosting is very important. If it has high downtime % then your visitors may not turn to your site again.

      I have also heard the problem about blogger so it’s important to have a self-hosted blog so you can feel free.

      Make sure that a hosting company you are going to deal with has a good reputation among hosting consumers. Visit various webmaster’s forums, directories and reviews websites before ordering services.
