Online there are literally thousands of places where you can host websites. Some of website hosting services are even free. Even though ‘free’ sounds good at first, like many things in life, you get what you pay for. In the case of hosting, ‘free’ often means it doesn’t have all the features you need to make a fully functional website so that you can make money. In some cases these websites don’t even let you choose your own domain name or they add their website to the end of you name such as your yourdomain.theirdomain.com.

There are three things you need to look at when you are deciding on a web host; are they affordable, are they trustworthy, and can your host do everything you want it to do?

Unlike some other web design companies who enjoy hosting their client’s sites, we actually prefer that you get a host that isn’t us. We don’t enjoy hosting websites because making sure the servers stay up and running while chasing away hackers makes hosting a full-time job in itself.

We feel that spending our time on your website design is more important than spending our time on your hosting. That’s why we recommended getting your own hosting account and we will be happy to design a website on that platform.

Our favorite host is HostMonster. Below are just a few of the reasons we love HostMonster:

• Top rated web hosting company
• Outstanding customer support
• Staff works around the clock to ensure your site always stays up
• Under $10 a month
• Unlimited hosting space
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Unlimited e-mail addresses
• Unlimited domains in a single account

We have a lot of websites on HostMonster with our clients and even ourselves, and we trust them implicitly. Though we do get a small fee when we recommend them, there are other hosts we wouldn’t recommend, fee or not.  That’s why HostMonster is our favorite choice for hosting your website.
