Web Hosting

I've had at least one web site since 1993, and a range of hosting services. Too many. Not enough to make me a real expert, but enough to gain some valuable expertise. And certainly enough to make some recommendations based in a general way on what I expect your needs to be as a professional coach or consultant.

Most people have a favorite web hosting service; more people have a list of difficult experiences.

If you're a professional (and I presume you are or you wouldn't be at this web site), you want to pay for web host services. Forget free services; they won't do your image any good. There are lots of people looking for free or cheap hosting, which is a great way to get started and great for showing the family album or your pet cat. The URL tells it all! If you want a web site for a business, you want your own domain, which means you need a legitimate place to host it, which means you need to pay.

All things considered, web hosting services are extremely cost effective. Even more cost effective when you think in terms of renting an office space with furniture and staff.

Most of the best services that provide web hosting have different levels of agreements. These agreements may be based on number of domains, bandwidth, megabytes, or additional services like ecommerce or different web design languages.

Do your own research. Compile a list of questions. It doesn't even matter if you fully understand the questions or the answers, but you do want to know how a potential web host responds when you inquire. If sales people won't answer your questions before you pay your money, it's unlikely that support people will be responsive after you've paid your money. Check the article, Four Questions To Ask When Shopping For Web Hosting by Mitch Keeler to get started on making a list of questions.

SiteSell — Simply the Best

I've used several traditional web hosts that I feel good about, and mention one below. If you want a traditional host, you cannot go wrong with the one I recommend.

However, I have just begun a new process that far exceeds traditional web hosts. Even calling it a "web host" seems strange. It exemplifies all the principles of effective content development, identification and study of your niche, and proper approaches to generate income. And it provides the tools to do all that you need to do.

It is SiteSell, which has a fine reputation for assisting its members to develop sites that contribute to the Internet and generate income. I'm extremely pleased and impressed with the services and support in constructing a new web site. I'll keep you posted, and soon will be able to show you my own new Site Build it web site.

Please don't wait for me to show you my SiteSell site, though. If you're ready now to start a web site that generates revenue for you, check it out. Even if you think you might like to have easier web hosting and multiple streams of income, check it out. You owe it to yourself. The annual fee is an all-inclusive fee providing services that are usually found in multiple service providers.

Traditional Web Host Service I Recommend

I'm very satisfied with my current Web Host and expect to remain a customer for a long time. If you're very savvy about web hosting services, you can probably manage at any service. I'm willing to recommend this service because it's user friendly, mostly intuitive and logical, and provides excellent support.

IX Webhosting - Recommended

This is the service I use for most of my web sites. IX Webhosting has three different levels of service. These options are well described at the IX Webhosting home page. Check out the control Panel Demonstration, Listen to Erika's Advice, or Chat with someone in Support. It's independently rated as the best. And it gets my top rating, as well. It's my last traditional Web host!

If you've never hosted a site before, you'll have a bit of a learning curve to feel proficient. However, the Control Panel is mostly logical and friendly. Staff members are truly excellent.

At their web site, they say "In a nutshell, IX Web Hosting is the LAST WEB HOST YOU WILL EVER NEED! Too good to be true? Not quite: Over 200,000 web sites already found a home on our network. Is yours next?" Visit IX Webhosting if you're looking for your first host, your next host, and especially if you want your last traditional web host. Even though I am creating a new SiteSell web site, I expect to remain with IX Webhosting because I have several well-established web sites.
