Serious Bloggers Need To Look At Web Hosting
Though it is possible to be a successful blogger through a free blog sites, serious bloggers who are looking to grow their blogging enterprise should front the costs and look for a web hosting that will meet their hosting needs. A hosted web site will give you flexibility to use true PHP, Javascript and give you more control over your content and blog itself.
There are many web hosting providers and choosing the right provider is important, you should not choose a provider solely on the cheapest hosting fee’s because other factors need to be taken into account. These include PHP versions, which and how many databases are offered, how many web sites can be hosted for your monthly fee, shared or private servers, how much traffic is your site allowed…etc.
Web Hosting Geeks is an excellent starting point for your quest to find a new web hosting provider, the have multiple categories and list a full range of features for many web hosting providers. You can sort by ones that have Unix web servers, Windows web servers, Cheapest monthly rates, Best for hosting multiple domains and best for Reseller Hosting. Reseller hosting is when you want to pay for web hosting and then resell web sites so other people can host from your own purchased account.
With full customer reviews of every web hosting provider listed you can rapidly determine which hosting provider will meet your needs. If I was going to switch web hosting providers (which I may eventually do, I would use the following criteria).
I run 5 blog sites so I need the following:
- Multiple Domains Hosted
- PHP 5
- Unix Web Servers
- Console Access (so I can ssh into server and easily manipulate content on site)
- Unlimited Storage
- Unlimited Bandwitch
- Unlimited SQL Databases
- 24×7 Support
I also want a decent monthly rate, but am more concerned about uptime and performance, Web Hosting Geeks will show you all customer reviews, but also has a nice uptime monitoring for most of the hosting companies. Showing uptime over the past week, here is an example of one that had some downtime earlier in the week.
They have a category for Best Blog Web Hosting with 206 reviews for the leader of this category you can make your own determination if its the hosting service you want to use.
You an even simply see the top hosting company by customer ratings which makes it easy, I noticed that my own web hosting provider was listed with only 3 reviews and actually had poor ratings in some of the categories I have complaints about. So maybe I will switch in the next year or two if I can’t get better performance.
I seriously recommend bloggers and web site owners take a look at Web Hosting Geeks to review what options are available if you are looking for a new web hosting provider.
