Kaushal Sheth designs templates for Wordpress. He recently had to do some research into webhosting, because his host had a blackout, and all his sites were down. Since his web hosting company didn’t have a backup network, the blackout caused major stress, and thus the quest for a new host.
After chatting with his tech friends and doing a lot of research of his own (browsing top 10 lists, reading reviews), he came up with this list:
1. Host Monster
2. Host Gator
3. Yahoo Host
He went with Host Monster as the best web hosting company he could find, and so far has been very happy with the price, the features offered and the knowledgeable tech support. It’s not been down, either…
I guess that most people, unless they’ve experienced hiccups with their host, will be happy with the one they’ve got. I’ve been with BlueHost since I went DotCom, and they haven’t let me down yet. The research I did was perfunctory - it was a bit like: close your eyes and point… so I guess I’ve been lucky. I don’t know, for example, if they’ve got a backup system.
I’m still interested in web hosting alternatives though, it’s a subject I know very little about, and I’m only using a fraction of the features offered by my host.
Although the post is informative enough, I could have wished for a few more pointers on the criteria he based his research on… There is a short description of each hosting company, but a little more info would have been appreciated.
Oh - should you want to have a look at the site - have a browse of the templates on offer. There are downloadable templates for Blogger and Wordpress, and they are clean, crisp and good looking, all of them!
