I’ve been purchasing web hosting now for over ten years. Along the way I’ve had great web hosts, good web hosts and several I wouldn’t want to wish on my worst enemy. The ones I call bad are the ones that range from web hosting firms that let me down on service to the ones that never had any intentions of providing any level of service, regardless their claims or sales promises.
Many people feel that if you pay more you should get better service. That’s simply not true. I’ve been using HostGator.com’s web hosting services for many years and have never been let down by them on quality and speed of service. They have always been “Johnny on the spot” when it comes to servicing my needs and fixing any issues that have come up from time to time. And if you want someone that offers fast service over the phone, via a chat line or via email, these guys are great.
When I first signed up with Host Gator several years ago their packages were very competitive in terms of costs versus features. Others now offer more features for lower rates, but Host Gator is still considered competitive and reliable. Trust me when I say that reliability is an issue and one you need to consider. I once had 400 sites on one server earning me over $1,000 a day. The server went down, the hosting company dragged their feet on fixing the problem for almost a month, I lost everything! It took me several months to rebuild all the sites and by then I could never get the income back up to anything near my previous letters. During the month I was down Google and the other major search engines simply concluded the websites were closed and I lost my valuable search engine indexing. Needless to say, I learned a valuable lesson as to why one should never put all your eggs in one basket.
Whether you’re just starting out with hosting your first domain name or wish to significantly cut your costs of hosting on one or a hundred domain names, it’s hard to beat the bang for the buck you can get with Web Hosting Pad. These guys are tops in my book when you consider what you get for the money. You can host unlimited domain names, have 1,700 gigabytes of hard drive space (Yes! That’s 1,700 gigabytes — no typo), and 17,000 gigabytes of monthly bandwidth for an average monthly price of as little as $4.95 per month. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s not — this is the real deal. I’m talking cPanel hosting with Fantastico — the works, with much, much more! I always prided myself on my ability to find great deals online, but Web Hosting Pad, without question, represents the best deal I’ve ever found online. Give them a try, you’ll be glad you did. I also use the boys at Bluehost.com and have been quite happy with their services, but Web Hosting Pad offers far more disk space and bandwidth for far less money.
