Setting up a website is seriously exciting business. Whether it is personal, or for business purposes, it feels so good to take control and take that step towards becoming an online entity. Choosing your web host will be one of the most important things that you do when it comes to your website; you need to make sure your website functions properly, including any interactive apps, displays as it should, and connects and loads fast. All without breaking the bank.
We have put together a list of the top five web hosts to consider, so you’re not alone in making this decision.
This is always topping the ‘best web hosts’ lists, and for a good reason. It offers both shared and dedicated plans (see our previous post for more on which one suits your needs) for affordable prices. You are looking at monthly costs of as little as $8.95/month for shared, and obviously a little more if you wanted to take the dedicated approach. DreamHost also has some awesome add-ons, and one-click features so you can easily manage your blogs, images and design. You can get unlimited email accounts on most of the packages, unlimited bandwidth, and so much more. They are affordable, but unlike most cost-effective companies, they don’t scrimp on the extra value stuff to make it up. This is the real deal.
This host is particularly good at drawing in new customers with sweet deals and free stuff – and it is totally acceptable to take advantage of this! You can get unlimited bandwidth, disk space, email accounts and more with their new user accounts. Their cheapest plan is under $4 per month, and still has a lot of the one-click installs and other features of the higher-cost ones. Discounts are also offered for longer-term agreements, so this is worth bearing in ind if budget is your top priority.
With similar benefits to those above – unlimited emails, file transfers, bandwidth and disk space – Bluehost starts at just $4.95 per month. Even their most basic packages offer features that can make a huge different to your website, such as e-commerce add-ons, databases, one-click add-ons and more. Again, they offer both shared and dedicated servers.
These guys offer a ton of features which means it is really easy to tailor your package to suit your every need. They have really great blog management, 24/7 technical support and their customer ratings from an experience point of view are off the chain (that’s a good thing); some have even said they notice your problems before you do, and are already fixing them when you call in. Plans start at $3.95 per month.
Despite their cutesy name, these guys mean serious business. Their focus has always been, and remains, on customer experience and providing a top service. Where most hosts nowadays are throwing free stuff at you and shouting about scalability, OUDEL remains true to what it is excellent at; making customers happy. They offer a variety of plans from just under $5/month and can tailor your disk space and bandwidth accordingly – although choosing unlimited isn’t an option for all of their plans like it for the other hosts.
Hopefully you found this helpful, and can do a bit more research into this to find your perfect host. It is definitely worth investing the time now in order to make sure you have the support you need later on. We can’t wait to see your site!
