Good web hosting is essential to success in the online marketplace. Whether you are a small business owner or even a part time blogger you need a web presence, and that starts with web hosting.
When I was looking for a host for this blog, I was quickly overwhelmed by the multitude of options I found. I knew I wanted hosting, a domain and support for word press, but even given those parameters there was a lot to weed through. Enter Web Hosting Geeks.
Web Hosting Geeks provides an excellent repository of website hosting providers. Check out there site. They have a top 10 providers list, but you can also search for hosting providers by any of the following:
- Providers who supply free domain names.
Or you can narrow the field to the best host for Unix, Windows, PHP, Dedicated hosting, blogs and more.
They also provide a Web Hosting Guide to help prospective website/blog owner decide how best to find the host solution that fits his needs. It covers the basics like support and security, OS and programming tools, bandwidth, uptime and pricing.
I wish I’d known about Web Hosting Geeks when I was looking for a host when I set this blog up. I don’t think I would have made a different choice in the end (I use GoDaddy and have been very pleased), but Web Hosting Geeks would have made the whole shopping process a lot quicker and easier.
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Naturally I am interested in blog hosting and the seemiingly endless choices a neophyte has regarding the net.
Here is my problem:
I am a simple cabinet maker who would love to just be able to put my material on the web so the public could see my work.
I have spent five years doing nothing but refining my design and bench skills.
But, during that time, it seems others have been thinking about how to use the net to do who knows what. I don’t understand what they are saying.
Anyway, I would just like to find a place where someone would start with step one and just show me how to do some simple web site that makes sense for my business.
Right now, I know where the on button is (I guess that’s a switch) for my computer, and that’s about it.
