Feature Webhosts

Something that many of our visitors are interested in is web hosting. There are hundreds of deals out there, but we’d like to take this space to feature a few that are known to offer great pricing, features and service. But don’t get webhosting confused with search engine optimization – having a website is just one part of a total Internet marketing plan.

1) DreamHost is our absolute favorite webhost – if all else, because they offer monthly hosting for around $8.00 per month with unlimited domains, subdomains, email addresses and lots of one click installs. As they say on their website:

Where you first start to notice the difference between DreamHost and all other webhosts is the community feel of our web panel. Besides the standard links for things like email and domain management, there are areas for customer suggestions, DreamHost newsletters, the DreamHost Site of the Month, DreamHost donations, the unofficial DreamHost directory, the DreamHost Rewards program, as well as a customer discussion area. All of these are a natural outcropping of our desire to stay in touch with our clients and to foster a free flow of ideas between them and us. What better way to learn how to keep our customers happy than to ask them, and then to act on what they say?

2) Another company that I’ve used in the past (and still use) is BlueHost.com. Their rates are inexpensive and the control panel provided with each hosting purchase is expansive, including traffic, email and domain management in a friendly, icon-based environment. Here’s a list of just a few things included with every account:

  • Disk Storage (NOW MORE!) 300 GB
  • Host UNLIMITED Domains (WOW!)
  • Free Drag and Drop Site Builder (NEW!)
  • Free Domain Name
  • Support International Domain Names
  • POP3/POP3 Secure Email Support 2,500
  • IMAP/Secure IMAP Email Support 2,500
  • 2 Different Web Based Email Solutions

  • Gigs of Site Transfer (NOW MORE!) 3,000 GB/mo
  • Add-on Domains Unlimited
  • Parked Domains Unlimited
  • Subdomains Unlimited
  • Additional FTP Accounts 1,000
  • MySQL Databases 50

3) The newest webhost we’ve added to our list is www.EasyCGI.com. This host provides a Windows-based environment supporting ASP (yuk) PHP and MySQL starting at just $7.95/mo for shared hosting. Their core statement about their company’s technology states,

Easy CGI has custom developed an infinitely expandable shared web hosting platform which allows for complete flexibility. This strengthens our ability to offer new features and cutting edge technology upon availability. Our control panel allows the customer to administer every aspect of their account at any time, from any location. Easy CGI´s three tiers of shared Web hosting solutions make the Company´s services suitable for a wide range of individuals and companies looking to host websites ranging from simple to complex. The result is superior flexibility and increased self-reliance over all account features.

They offer both shared and dedicated servers and can get you on board with a domain name at just $10 per year. Take a look!
