Looking for a way to put a web site on the internet? You need a web
hosting company. Depending upon your needs, there are many choices.
My top pick is:
| Criteria |
Choice of web hosting company |
Sample web sites |
| #1 Overall, more installed features than Dreamhost, but also much lower bandwidth |
BlueHost
If paid annually: $7.95/mo, Free Setup, Total $95.40
2000 MB storage, 75 GB bandwidth monthly.
Bluehost offers substantially more bandwidth and storage space
than Lunarpages. They appear to have all the same features. I'm
just now trying them on
www.jbslemmer.com (this website) and
www.resourcesforwebsites.com. So far, I have found them to be
utterly reliable!
They use cpanel
and Fantasico, with many scripts installed
cpanel |
www.Resourcesforwebsites.com and www.jbslemmmer.com
This web site! |
| Number 2, Overall |
$7.95/month
Pretty good: 40 GB monthly bandwidth,
1000 MB
storage, support forum, web stats.
This one is definitely the in the top 3

| Very High bandwidth, lots of storage space,
but limited features, no Fantasico or installer for scripts, so bare
bones, but reliable and high bandwidth. |

Hostony
$11.85/month if you prepay a year - and that allows you to host up
to 10 different domains!!!! Effectively only $1.18 per web site per
month!
See the review at:
http://www.10-cheapwebhosting.com/hosts/Hostony.php
Their web site is:
http://hostony.com/
3000 MB of storage, 80 GB of monthly bandwidth, 20 mailing listss,
unlimited MySQL dbs etc. GREAT for web developers.
Web control panel (cpanel)
http://67.15.48.21:2082/ - fast insecure interface
https://67.15.48.21:2083/ - slow secure interface

www.Benivia.com |
| High bandwidth, lots of storage space and
good features, but max is 5 gig/day, good if you never exceed 5gig in
any one day. |
$7.77/month, 150 GB monthly bandwidth (up to % GB
every day), 1000 MB storage, support forum, web stats
|

DreamHost
- Bandwidth is excellent, but support is slow and poor. May be
good in the future, but they appear to be struggling with growth right
now.
If paid annually: $7.95/mo, Free Setup, Total $95.40
800 MB storage, 120 GB bandwidth monthly
Huge amount of storage space and monthly bandwidth, but they don't
use cpanel (they made their own control panel, which may be good, but it
does not include Fantastico. They had few installed scripts, so
you would have to install your own. I also found that they
have not lived up to their marketing claims; they are slow to respond to
support emails (more than 36 hours) and there are many complaints of
lost and slow emails and downtime on their customer forum.

| Dirt Cheap - If that is your main
criteria, for a small, simple web site |
http://buywebhost.net/hosting.htm
Only choose this one if cheap is your only criteria. I don't
use them any more, myself. They were too unreliable, too much down time. |
