I have a question about web hosting
Miscellaneous Forums/General Help/I have a question about web hosting
| ||
| I built a website and I was wondering what are some good web hosting services and is it better to just get a cheap hosting service (just to keep things more secure) or are there good free ones that can do just as good? I'm also want to use my name in the web address, so thus, I was wondering what are some recommendations in this venue? Thanks |

| I use Webs and they even provide Free hosting services but with small limitations. Ive been using the free service for almost 3 years! http://www.webs.com/ You can upgrade to premium to get more abilities but I never felt the need to upgrade. You said you want your name in the URL so it would be like http://www.en929.webs.com/ I highly recommend webs hosting over other alternatives like Weebly or Google sites. There is another hosting brand that I tried and is okay but not as good as webs it is called X10 Hosting. http://www.x10.bz/ the only downside is that if your account is inactive for 30 days, they will delete it. :( Last edited 1+ years ago |

| I use Hostgator. It's cheap enough at $8.95 and you can have it cheaper if you pay one, two or three years in advance. |
| ||
| Blacknight.com. Been with them for years. They really know their stuff and DO know about they talk about when you call support. |
| ||
| Hostgator here also. I've Never had problems with them. I paid it for three years so I got it for $3.99 a month a year and a half ago. |

| Thanks for the responses. Thus, I was wondering will the services that were mentioned here allow me to upload the website that I already built using HTML? I'm sorry. I'm such a rookie and and there are so many things that I don't know. |

| Thus, I was wondering will the services that were mentioned here allow me to upload the website that I already built using HTML? Hostgator - yes. Assuming you've used HTML/PHP/MySQL. |

| Thus, I was wondering will the services that were mentioned here allow me to upload the website that I already built using HTML? Webs - yes, just upload the file and link to it Google Sites - same answer x10 - dont know Weebly - maybe Take a look at my site, there was no html coding required to build it. select a template, upload some images, change some colors etc.. |

| Note that the trend is to abandon MySQL, because Oracle killed it, and use PostGreSQL instead. It's actually the default in Debian now, because they always do the right decisions. Same thing goes for OpenOffice to LibreOffice, but that happened already earlier. Last edited 1+ years ago |

| Ok, thanks for the responses. |

| Posted this in another thread, so I might as well post it here as well. You can check out Hostgator at http://www.hostgator.com/ . They're probably the best shared host out there. I've been with them for years with no problems. If you want to save yourself some money with them ($9.94), use the coupon code: saveathostgator If you need a good free FTP program to transfer files then I recommend using Filezilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ ).

| Blacknight.com. Been with them for years. They really know their stuff and DO know about they talk about when you call support. I agree about the support, but the control panel leaves a lot to be desired. Something as simple as adding an extra domain to your current hosting is a pain in the arse |

| I really like Dreamhost for cheap shared hosting and you can easily upgrade to dedicated hosting if things grow. I do recommend them. |
| ||
| I used to use Powweb and they were ok but they don't give existing customers decent pricing. I moved to Justhost and they are ok, no real problems to report. They DNS was screwy via PipeDNS but they have addressed that issue now. Darkheart |

| DreamHost has been great for me. |
| ||
| netpivotal.com have done me alright for a few years now. Reliable and fast with large storage and bandwidth for about 7.99 a month. Last edited 1+ years ago |

| Another Hostgator approver here! Use this coupon HOSTGATORFREETRIAL : Basically select a non business package, select Baby package; select monthly payment, enter a domain you'd like or if you have one enter it, enter the coupon and billing info and you will be set for the free trial. All you'll need to pay is 1cent with your card. No better way to try them. Doubt you'd want to leave them though as they do really provide an excellent service. |
