Low Cost Web Hosting

Quite often I’ll receive an email or get a response to one of my blog posts asking who I recommend for Web Hosting, or where you can find the cheapest Web Hosting. Whether you need cheap web hosting for your web site, blog or even just landing pages, I’m sure there is a web host package for you. I decided to finally throw a quick review sheet together on some of the more popular low cost web hosting companies, and what they have to offer. The web hosting providers are listed by price and also includes disk space and bandwidth amounts.

There a hundreds of cheap web hosting options out there and I will continue to build the list as I pull together more resources. If you are currently a customer of any of these web hosts, please leave a comment on their service and your experience.

Hi, Zac. Thanks for the useful list!

I’m looking forward to seeing your talk at Affiliate Summit, btw. It would be cool to slap you a high five and thank you for all your great tips, so maybe we’ll get a chance to connect.

As I mentioned in your redirect post, HostGator is great. And their affiliate program is good money. Maybe you could post a followup sometime with how many sales you got from this post =)

I am with Host Gator. I love their awesome support and it allows you to host unlimited addon domain names. Another thing why I love HG is that I have no problems installing scripts on my server..they are not so restrictive like others..maybe others will feel differently..Cheers.

I have to tell you all. I use HostMonster and they are amazing. I’m sure most admin cpanels are similar but wow there is so much they offer behind the scenes it’s amazing.

LunarPages is without a doubt the best hosting company I have worked with, and I’ve used quite a few. Their support is great and I always recommend their basic plan to my readers, as it has an excellent price/quality ratio. Personally, my blog is hosted on a LunarPages dedicated server and I couldn’t be more pleased with them. I’ve hit the Digg frontpage on the very day of my launch and thanks to LP, I’ve been able to handle everything perfectly. Being able to cope with the digg effect without any problems always says a lot about any host out there.

Best wishes,

Alan Johnson

Not here to spread any negative comments, just an honest opinion that it is a good practice to go through the TOS of any shortlisted web host carefully before signup, just to make sure your website is within the usage boundaries.

 
2008-01-17 04:39:43

Dot5hosting’s service is a piece of crap…use Hostican instead of that.

I used CrazyHostGuy a while back for their cheap hosting, the $1.95 mini plan. It used to be a sweet deal, but now it seems like everyone has a super cheap hosting plan - like the 1&1 plan listed above at $2 which has a lot more space and bandwidth.

Beware of 1and1… they’re a horrible company to deal with - and you WILL have to contact them sooner or later over problems… and that’s when all hell will break loose!

Do a quick google search for 1and1 hosting and you will find piles and piles of horror stories regarding 1and1’s hosting.

The service itself isn’t bad. I think they are a good place to park domains. But the moment you try to cancel a service with 1and1, you will be met with terrible resistance and unhelpful customer support reps. Like canceling an AOL account.

Thanks for the heads-up on 1and1, Yebot! And thanks to zac for this awesome list! I can’t wait to hear more user reviews by your readers that have tried some of these services…. :)

I am my own web host. There is nothing better than having your own server in my opinion.

Been using Host Gator for about a year. No complaints. Responsive customer service chat application. Even made some sales through their affiliate program.

1and1 hosting has played its role in the recent events over at SearchGuild so that I wouldn’t even think about touching them.

It’s something wrong on feedburner’s part, a lot of blogs have reported similar issues.

Dot5 is absolutely horrible. Random downtime with no explanation and the worst FTP connectivity. Although, Site5 was even worse. I haven’t heard much about the others except GoDaddy which I heard is really bad. Although its a good list for newbies.

I would generally recommend not using the same company for registering a domain and hosting. Most domain name registration companies don’t exactly offer the best hosting plans and, on the other hand, registering a domain name you are interested in developing through your hosting company may result in problems once/if you decide to change hosts.

Hi Zac

I use 1&1 WebHosting and so far it’s been great for me.

I’ve been a BlueHost user for just about two years now. I’ve been very happy with their service, whenever they upgrade their package you automatically get the upgrades in storage/transfer/whatever.

Recently they’ve been great about improving their infrastructure. Prior to using this service I managed my own server, but after being exploited via phpBB opt’d for shared hosting for ease of management. I’ve been impressed with the quality of service and their support team is great. I run 14 websites off of my account and have had 100% uptime.

I currently use GoDaddy.com for hosting. I hosting account is great but the statistics program sucks. I am used to using cpanel and I love all use tools used in cpanel. If I would recommend anything, host with a company that has a strong statistic program and has 24 hour customer service.

Hi,

Try free-whd.com, It is a good free Web Hosting directory. I am sure you will find the free web host you are looking for.

HostGator are highly recommended. Got 2 dedicated servers and a few other reseller plans, they own SEO hosting which is also a gem

I concur. I also have 2 Dedicated Servers with HostGator but I still think that Zac’s in house stuff is sexy.

I’ve been using BlueHost to host all of my sites for a good few years now and can’t recommend them highly enough.

I use GoDaddy and Lunarpages - the nice thing about both is that it’s extremely easy to through a blog on and both have coupons constantly available for the hosting.

BlueHost is what I use, I got it originally because it was cheap, but when it comes down to it another $10/month is nothing compared to what you earn, so its probably best to got with the host with the best features and quality support.
