If you are new to setting up websites or blogs on the net, choosing hosting companies can be a real headache. You wouldn’t know which one to choose, all seem to claim offering great services, low prices and guaranteed 99% uptime (find out what does that mean here).
WebHostingGeeks is a website that offers a platform for people to review web hosting companies. Independent reviews are published in more than 10 categories, eg; overall web hosting, dedicated server, vps hosting etc.
When getting a hosting for your website/blog, third party opinions and reviews matter a lot. Don’t just go and get a hosting based on what you see on their website. Rather do some research and see what others are saying about the company. For example, on WebHostingGeeks InMotion got over 200 reviews and most of them are positive. That says a lot about the company and its services.
Tip: If possible, try to keep your domain names and hosting separate (i.e don’t get both of them from the same company). Because, when you change your hosting, and believe me you will… it can get complicated. Normally, I keep all my domain names with goDaddy and my hosting with Pair Networks.

yeah, some months ago when i was looking for a hosting to host two of my websites i visited web hosting geeks and after reading some reviews there i decided to select host hawk. with them i am happy till now.
I keep my domain name with godaddy too. And yes my web hosting comes from other company. Thanks about nice post.
I wonder if I don’t put enough focus on my hosting. Have always used godaddy and have never had any problems. I’m going to check this site out later tonight and do a little research.
For Bluehost, they limit the monthly bandwidth traffic for 6TB. But I guess that’s more than enough :D
Yes it look promising unlimited disk space, for ~5$ in month but is it that good?
Im just don’t trust these type of hosting.
I always prefer to read reviews before buying hosting, because many host claims 99.9% uptime but they hardly give 90% uptime…
Your tip about keeping your domains and hosting separate is excellent. This will help eliminate unneccessary head-aches in the future.
Funny how many of us use godaddy for hosting. Personally I register my domains with them but don’t use them for hosting. Overall I find them to be a trustworthy company, though, and I’ve used other companies in the past to register domains with and when the time came to switch they gave me a very, very difficult time, so I know how important it is to use a reputable company.

i guess its good for us. To know about many hosting before we buy it.
Ades, so what about Pair networks and Godaddy. You use for yourself and you must be aware of them to great extent. I want to point out that Godaddy has the poorest customer experience. One of my high traffic website was down for a month because of them. So guys, it is better to avoid Godaddy in my opinion. I gotta try web hosting geeks.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
GoDaddy is definitely a favourite, ain’t it! Keeping hosting seperate from your domain is a must. Don’t fall for the all-in-one hosting and free domain package, because when time comes to move, you’re going to have a hard time getting your domain, and its gonna cost you mucha moolla!
Thanks for the suggestions; I am trying to research how to set up some sites and Im finding it all confusing. Im new to all this and I often dont know one thing from another. Good hints!!
When choosing something like a website host, it is very important to read customer reviews. Only they can tell you exactly what to expect from that company. The company is not going to come out and say that they have lousy support or uptime issues. You have to dig up the dirt yourself. Do keep in mind the date of such reviews though. Sometimes a company can drastically improve after some early problems.
My favorite ‘Godady’
Because very systematic
Before taking up site from webmasters and hosting, business hosting companies will do a very good choice. Client must read. Do business with large companies like godaddy.
Thank you for your beautiful writing
i dont like any more GoDaddy. They took my money from my credit card without sending email.
I understand it 5-6 months later.
i m using godaddy too.
