Can anyone recommend a good web host for a small business website?

I intend to create a Word-press site for my small business and I need hosting. What sort of things should I be looking out for - some of these offers seem too good to be true like £2 per month and unlimited space and broadband. I notice some mention spam guard and others don't - how does this work?

Thanks

A

    I recommend one of these: http://www.top3hosts.com/

    iPage has the best offer right now.

    Their standard price is £59.40/year (£4.95) but they have

    a promotion currently, one year of hosting for £23.88.

    Their plan includes:

    Unlimited disk space

    Unlimited bandwidth

    Free domain name

    Price: £23.88/year (£1.99)

    They have one of the most popular hosting platforms, which currently hosts over a million websites. They're also one of the oldest hosting companies, founded in 1998.

    They include a free point & click online site builder so you can create a website without any programming (easily, just by drag and drop) or you could install Wordpress (they include easy, one click install from their control panel), choose a theme that you like, and start adding content.

    They also have a great custom control panel with OneClick installs of all the popular software like Wordpress, Joomla, Forums, Chat, Galleries, Online stores and a lot more.

    P.S. You don't need spam guard. I recommend you to get Google Apps for your domain http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.htm... It's free and you can set up your emails (up to 50 email accounts for free) through them. Basically you get gmail but with your own domain name.

    Re: small business web hosting

    Check out http://buywebspacetoday.com/ for good web hosts. By the way, all of them bundle Fantastico for free, so you can do a quick and easy install of Wordpress right from your control panel -- no need to download, transfer files, or set up the database and configurations yourself.

    Re: unlimited disk space and bandwidth

    Most websites never reach maximum bandwidth, so "unlimited" is true only based on perception. If your site becomes hugely popular, you might need to upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server. Don't worry about it. When that time comes, you'll have so many customers and so much revenue that hosting will seem like a negligible expense.

    Re: SpamGuard

    SpamGuard is a spam filtering software for email. Note that different web hosts might use different software or even their own developed spam filters.

    Don't trust dishonest claims like "Best web hosting only $2 /month" or "Get the cheapest web hosting without sacrificing quality and features!!". Take into consideration that some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers. It is very important that your service be uptime (functioning and available for use) . It means you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and users can enter your website whenever they refer to your site address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be catastrophic!

    As an experienced webmaster I recommend BH web hosting which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

    You can reach reviews about this web hosting provider and its latest DISCOUNT COUPONS at:

    Only $3.95 /month (with discount coupon)

    Hope this helps.

    Once I set up my server, I will be willing to host your website for $3 a month (2 pounds). If you are not interested, I think that the best thing to look for in hosting is the quality of their website. "Unlimited hosting" is just and advertising technique. Your website will only take around 20 megabytes of space anyhow. You do want a secure host that provides good services and support. If you are interested in hosting with me, please contact me at sethweeks@ymail.com.

    Maybe your Internet Service Provider provides this for free with your account. Check there first. 1 And 1 is like the number 1 rated web host for businesses.

    hi arianna

    look at http://webhosting-garage.com./ Don't think you need unlimited package for one Wordpress site and small business. Something like economy package will be enough and you won't have to pay for unlimited package =)

    if you want unlimited package in any way look at this one http://goo.gl/XFiF

    I'm currently using justhost.com, siteground.com and ausweb.com.au.

    My preferred host is siteground so far - their customer support is just outstanding in all regards. JustHost are a bit cheaper in the long term, and ausweb's interface just sucks.
