Today, any business worth the name is on the web (internet). If you are not there, then, you just don't exist! Even individuals have their own websites. Many blog their way and share their views with rest of the world.
If you need to be on the internet, you need to have a domain, which is like your address in the internet. Then, you build your website and host it with a good web hosting provider.
When I first wanted to buy a domain and host it, I was faced with options which were mind boggling and I just got totally lost! I went ahead and tried some of them and was not too happy with what I got.
Yes, there are so many hosting vendors out there that it becomes quite difficult to choose which one is the best web hosting solution for you.
I did quite a bit of research on the net, visited many forums and checked out which were the best web hosting companies that provided good service at affordable costs.Of course, nothing comes free.
What was I looking for?
1. I should be able to host multiple domains (websites) with one account
2. The hosting solution should not cost me the moon.
3. I should be able to host multiple sub-domains
4. I should be able to host my blogs
5. I should get great support
6. I need templates with which I can easily build websites
7. Good disk space - don't want to spend money on additional disk space
8. If need be, auto responders - Oh yeah! These cost a lot of money
9. Great content management tools
10. Support for PHP, My SQL, fantastico, wordpress, joomla........
11. Unlimted e-mail accounts
12. Reseller options - you never know, someone may buy from you
Here is what I came up with;
1. HostGator -
HostGator is one of the reputed hosting companies. The hosting plans start from just $4.95 from a hatchling
hosting plan all the way to $174.00 for a completed a dedicated serverplan.
What do you get?
With the Hatchling plan, you can host one primary domain. That is one website. You do get unlimiteddisk space, unlimited bandwidth for just $4.95/month. If it is a personal website or a small business website this hosting solutions should be more than adequate for you.
Want to host multiple domains?
Here is the deal. Opt for the baby hosting plan just for $7.95 a month. You can host multiple domains (multiple websites), unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth.
Have a business which is growing?
Opt for the business hosting plan! This works out to just $12.95 a month. You

dedicated SSL & IP and free toll free number.

2. Lunar Pages
Here comes Lunar pages. Now, they have a starter hosting plan which starts at a ridiculously low $2.95! You can't beat that, can you? But then, you have a bandwidth limit of 50GB and storage space of 5GB. If you are starting off, I think, this should be good enough for a start.May be you can upgrade at a later date when the traffic increases to your site.
Now, that kind of storage space and bandwidth might just work out for a personal website. You need more bandwidth and storage space if you are into some serious business.
That is when you opt for the dedicated servers for your website, your hosting plans can start from $99 a month going all the way up to $800 a month!

Well, well, well! Now, you are talking! GVO is a rechristened wwkiosk. They are in business of web hosting for more than a decade and have come out with some real fantastic features. Some of the features are just unbelievable.
This one is for real heavy hitters. You are seriously into internet marketing. Top guns in the internet marketing are hosting their websites on GVO.
You get all that you get with the above companies. So, what is the difference?
How about an autoresponder which has no restrictions?

If you are a Titanium account holder, you get all the works and even build a residual income. How about that?
Oh, yes, they have dedicated server hosting plans too!
Yes, it does cost $45 a month. You think that is expensive? Just check out subscription to some of the popular autoresponders, you will know what I am talking about! Just an auto responder will cost you a minimum of $30 a month. It is a steal when you compare all the features that you get!
