Recommended Web Site Hosting Services

Here are the very few web hosts that I recommend…

You don’t have to filter through 100 different features and benefits lists here. I only recommend 3 different web hosting services, and my favorite, is listed right at the top of the page! They include:

BlueHost.com
HostGator
SiteBuildit!

And if you don’t need a web host, but want to register a domain name, I’ve included GoDaddy.

1. BlueHost.com

I recommend BlueHost’s hosting service first and foremost because it offers Fantastico-enabled cPanel hosting at very reasonable prices and gives first-rate 24/7 support. Too, the WordPress installation with SuperScripts is SUPER simple!

Longer-term plans (12 and 24 month) include FREE setup and FREE domain registration and renewals while hosted with BlueHost.

Moreover, BlueHost allows you to host unlimited domains on 1 account and up to 20 subdomains (ie. subdomain.mydomain.com) if you wanted to go really crazy building sites or blogs for every subject under the sun!

See chart below for BlueHost pricing as of December 2008.

Term	Price	Details
3 mo.	$69.85	Includes 3 months hosting @$9.95/mo. plus $10 for domain registration and $30.00 setup
6 mo.	$93.70	Includes 6 months hosting @$8.95/mo. plus $10 for domain registration and $30.00 setup
12 mo.	$95.40	Includes 12 months hosting @$7.95/mo., plus FREE setup and FREE domain registration forever while hosted with BlueHost.
24 mo.	$166.80	Includes 24 months hosting 24 months hosting @$6.95/mo., plus FREE setup and FREE domain registration forever while hosted with BlueHost.

3. Site Build iT!

Ken Evoy’s Site Build iT! is much MORE than just a web hosting service.

It’s an all-in-one web site solution for those who want to be able to access all their site-building tools in one place, i.e. site building, market research, content building, ad-selling, ppc buying etc.

Among its many benefits and features you’ll find domain registration, search engine optimization, autoresponder, forms, templates, and just too many more features to list here. Learn more:

Register a Domain Name with Godaddy.com

I personally recommend that you use one of the other hosting services suggested above before you choose GoDaddy. However if you just want to register a domain name, or aren’t interested in using the cPanel interface, then Godaddy.com offers domain registration services and hosting plans for as little as $3.95/month, and dedicated servers from $109.00/month. Features include:
