Thanks

Answer 1

I tried them all including yahoo (that's dear for what they offer) and I find the best value for money host is IX.

They offer more than anyone else and never go offline. AND (very important) their support will fix whatever prob you come across, very quickly and unlike MANY of the other hosters I tried.

Answer 2

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



Go to http://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

Yahoo is very expensive just because of its brand! They charge you for web hosting service about $12/month ($144 /year)! They also offer their domain names for $1.99/year for first year, but from next year they charge $35/year!!

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . As an experienced webmaster I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. Their service is really great and easy to use. This company also offers "Free Site Builder" that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get).

Also http://www.GoldPuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you.

I think hostmysite is petty good.



their server is petty fast, and the price i think is all right.



The reason i like it the most is because it have a really good tech support. When you call them ask for support, you wait on the line not over 5 minutes. And they really help you until you understand. This is the thing that a lot of hosting company cannot do, and most of them the waiting time is like 30min to 1 hour at least.



So i think hostmysite really good.



hope this information will help



best of luck

Answer 5

I acually just signed up with Dreamhost. So far i like it very much I used a promo code when I registered so i pay month to month 9.99 and saved $50 with the code overall i think its probaly the best deal because you dont need to pay for like 6 months of service upfront and no file set up fee.All i had to pay was 10.90 to be exact for the first month then 9.99 after. The Promo code you can use is THC. lol but if your looking for a low cost good webhosting Id suggest dreamhost

Answer 6

Recommend that you go with Netfirms - http://tinyurl.com/netfirms or 1&1 Internet - http://tinyurl.com/1and1hosting . Both provide free domain names with hosting plan subscription. Both companies have been in the business for over 10 years and have established reliability uptime. If you are just getting Yahoo for hosting, it is on the expensive side. However, I would recommend Yahoo Merchant Service - http://starturl.com/yahoostore if you are going to start an online store - they have one of the easiest service to setup an online store that offers a lot of flexibility.

Answer 7

Well, it depends on how much you want to spend.



1. The cheapest option I know is:

http://www.hosttell.com/one/

$3.75/month but they don't offer that much disk space and options.



2. Godaddy has a couple of nice plans:

http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy/



3. For $5.78/month I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html



Their standard price is $119.40/year ($9.95/month if you pay yearly) but they currently have a promotion. You can use the promo code PLUS at sign up page and get the $50 discount + 2 Free domain names. This way you get them for $69.40/year ($5.78/month). You can use their huge Disk Space and host unlimited number of sites on a single plan.



Disk space: 500 GB

Bandwidth: 5000 GB

2 Free domain names

Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)



4. If you're willing to pay $20+/monthly for hosting I recommend:



http://www.mediatemple.com

http://www.slicehost.com
