Low Cost Web Hosting
- 40 Comments
- By Zac Johnson on January 16th, 2008
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.

"With great power comes great responsibility".... my Uncle Ben told me that. Haha, just kidding! I'm Zac Johnson and I've been making money online for over 10 years now. In short, I started making money online while I was in high school... but my passion for marketing and making money goes back way earlier than that. I created ZacJohnson.com to help motivate you to start making money online, and live the life the you always dreamed of.
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.
ReplyI use GoDaddy. I have heard negative things about them, but i have had no problems… yet
ReplyAs 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 =)
ReplyI use Host-Gator and I think they are terrific. I’ve had awesome support using thier live chat system.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyDefinitely! Looking forward to meeting with you and many of my other readers as well!
Replyoh and i’d like to add that i’ve heard a lot of really bad things about 1&1, so buyer beware
ReplyI use quite a few hosting service for my websites. But I find Host gator as the best hosting so far. Anyway thanks for the list.
ReplyI use host gator also. They have been fantastic so far!
ReplyI 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.
ReplyLunarPages 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
ReplyNot 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.
ReplyDot5hosting’s service is a piece of crap…use Hostican instead of that.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyDo 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.
ReplyI use DreamHost. I too have heard negative things about them and I too have not had any problems.
ReplyThanks 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….
ReplyGood post. I’m a fan of HostGator myself.
ReplyI am my own web host. There is nothing better than having your own server in my opinion.
ReplyBeen 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.

ReplyI have some real bad experiences with GoDaddy, I wouldnt this
ReplyZac yesterday you had about 1000+ readers today i see there are 6000+ readers. How do you do it man?
ReplyBeware 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!
ReplyWe’ll see where it’s at tomorrow… not sure what’s up.
ReplyVery smart post Zac- I bet you already made $500 in comissions from this post. You really a genius!
ReplyDot5 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.
ReplyIt’s something wrong on feedburner’s part, a lot of blogs have reported similar issues.

ReplyI 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.

ReplyHi Zac
I use 1&1 Webhosting and so far it’s been great for me.
ReplyI’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.
ReplyI 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.

Replyalso… i use GoDaddy for domain & dns management, their hosting packages are overpriced imo.
ReplyHi,
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.
Regards
ReplyHostGator are highly recommended. Got 2 dedicated servers and a few other reseller plans, they own SEO hosting which is also a gem
ReplyI concur. I also have 2 Dedicated Servers with HostGator but I still think that Zac’s in house stuff is sexy.
Replythanks, i’m going to check a few of these out
ReplyI’ve been using BlueHost to host all of my sites for a good few years now and can’t recommend them highly enough.
ReplyI 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.
ReplyBlueHost 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.
