Cheap Web Hosting Recommendations

One of the more common questions I get asked is "Where should I host my site?"

HOST MONSTER

It's a great question - there are many hosts out there all promising a lot. Some hosts are great, some are very bad and it's usually hard to tell them apart.

A bad host can cost you a ton of money in a variety of ways:

no backups = Needless to say any more
no support = I have known hosts that don't get back to you fullstop

Over time I have used probably 40 different website hosting companies and in that time you get to learn a few tricks of the trade.

Let's take a look at the tricks and a couple of recommendations for terrific hosts.

The Inside Information

Let's start off with a bit of insider information.

Two main things you need to be aware of:

1. There are what I call "Rip Off Hosts"

These are the type of hosts who charge absolute top dollar for very little space, very little bandwidth and very little service.

These companies simply take advantage of people with little knowledge

2. Hosting Resellers

They are just on selling hosting space, with a mark-up.

HOST MONSTER has what I consider the 3 essentials of a great host:

Excellent hosting - lot's of space, lot's of bandwidth and heaps of features
Excellent support - super quick, reliable and effective. This is critical
Excellent price - in my experience you simply will not get better value for money

HOST MONSTER is the host we recommend if you have a good web site and currently have a lot of visitors or expect a lot of web visitors in the future.

We use HOST MONSTER for sites even if we expect will use a ton of multimedia - video, audio and the like.

I highly recommend HOST MONSTER for those with absolutely massive sites or for web developers looking to provide hosting services for their clients.

Web Hosting - Superb Value

Whilst HOST MONSTER are cheap web hosting services, the great price in no way means lower service. The service we've received has been exceptional.

Hope that helps you find a solid cheap web hosting service - like I said, we use them and they're absolutely exceptional.
