If you engage in any kind of business on the internet at all, you probably know that if a domain is your address on the internet, then your web host is the house you live in. This is where you will host your website, your domain – and if you’re like me, you’ll probably host multiple sites. In fact, chances are – if you don’t own a site, you’re probably not going anywhere with your business. And if you don’t select the right quality web hosting, your business will be affected adversely.
If you are aware of Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) techniques, you probably know that a free hosting solution, which does not give you the option of your own ‘naked domain’ (or top-level domain, like http://yourwebsite.com ) is no good for your business and doesn’t constitute quality web hosting. Why? Ever try running a business like “your business c/o someone else’s business”? It’s not going to work, is it?
Okay. You got the point. So you get yourself a domain. Maybe you were even really ahead of yourself and got yourself a domain that is based on your keywords, i.e., http://your-keywords.com! Fantastic!
Now, the search engines should be really happy, right? They ought to be able to index you quite easily, right?
Well, not necessarily so. If you get free hosting, chances are you will probably score lower in your search engine rank. More so, if your pages don’t load fast enough because your web host doesn’t give you enough bandwidth, so your web visitors get tired of waiting around.
To help you we have put together a review of some of the best web hosting companies and the services they offer, along with a comparison between them. We hope this will be a help in helping you decide which option you would like to go for.
Before we go into the details, we want to explain that actually we have reviewed 2 types of quality web hosting services:
• Category A – Web Hosting Companies that give you just that – quality web hosting:
This is what they do, and they do it well – really well. We have 5 companies that we have reviewed under this category: Hostgator, Just Host, Host Monster and Web.com.
• Category B – Web Hosting Companies that give you web hosting packages plus an income opportunity:
These are companies that not only give you very good quality web hosting, but they also give you an income opportunity, where you can earn residual income for life! There are two companies under this category: GDI (Global Domains International), and GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities).
This isn’t so difficult, because nowadays pretty much all web hosting companies are reliable and give you good facilities and features.
Well, it all depends on what you are going to use your website for:
• If you’re planning on just a simple hosted blog, then you don’t need any fancy frills. You need good, cheap, affordable hosting which is very reliable and doesn’t cop out on you.
• If you want a simple (or elaborate) website for your company, and you are going to have a presentation about your company or products, then you need to have enough space to accommodate everything.
• If you are planning on using video on your site and a lot of multimedia sites, you need a fair amount of space. In case you are planning on a blog-type of site or an e-zine, you need to have an archives section where you can put older pages or files.
• If you are planning on doing a lot of online marketing, then you need tools that will allow you to do so: like instant online video production, autoresponders which don’t just send you a one-time “Hi, I am away with the penguins in Antarctica, and will write you back as soon as I get over my frostbite” message, but where you can actually load up messages to follow up on leads, etc. In this case, you absolutely must take a look at GVO, for their very powerful autoresponder service.
There is a good list of quality web hosting companies here. We put this together just to help people who needed a resource for getting started with their online business / promoting their existing business online, and they feel intimidated with the thought of creating their own site. It is not all-exhaustive, but it’s a list of some of the best web hosting solutions, and you ought to be able to select something that will work well for you without any problems – for years to come. We didn’t put too many options, because that can just confuse people sometimes. But these are some of the ones we personally use to host our sites, and we’re very happy with them, so we recommend them. We have many different sites, and they all serve various purposes.

Good to find that there are blog owners that worry about their blogs and not publish all kind of unusable stuff, but rather try to maintain it completely and well for the sake of their readers. You’ve done a great job and I thank you for that.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for dropping by.
Hi there, nice site with good info. I really like coming back here often. There’s only one thing that annoys me and that is the misfunctioning of comment posting. I usually get to 500 error page, and have to do the post twice.
Hi Ione,
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you find the info useful. The problem has been rectified.

Hi – really good website you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to write a remark to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically delightful. I used to be a graphic designer, now I am a copy editor in chief for a merchandising firm. I have always enjoyed functioning with computers and am trying to learn code in my free time (which there is never enough of, lol).
Hi Debbie,
Thanks for your kind words.
