Web Hosting Companies I RecommendI have been in the web hosting business for over 10 years. I have literally tried most of the big web hosting companies and I will briefly explain to you about my journey through four of the big web hosting companies online. I will give the reasons for discontinuing the service. The listing below is based on the chronological time of the service usage and not on their preference. HostgatorIn 2007, I bought my first reseller account from Hostgator. Hostgator is one of the best web hosting company with awesome service and customer care. Over a period of the five years I stayed with them, they gave me the best service. Their uptime us superb and the customer care is instant through a chatbox on their website. I left them purely because of cost and space. I was running out of space on my reseller account and i wanted to move my business into a dedicated server. I could not afford their dedicated server. Compared to other hosting companies, Hostgator is pricey. However, now that I have tested a couple of web hosting services after I left Hostgator, I would say that their services are worth the price. If you do not mind the cost, Hostgator is the best web hosting company. Hostgator Cost: Shared Hosting starts from USD 9.99 per month, Reseller Hosting from USD 18.99 per month VPS Server from USD 11.99 per Month and Dedicated Server from USD 155 Find the best offers and promotions at HostGator Website ResellerClubIn 2012, I switched to Resellerclub. They have a very affordable dedicated server. I came to learn later that Hostgator and Resellerclub are owned by the same company. However, they operate independently. ResellerClub also have very good products. Their servers are stable and affordable. The reason I left them is because of their customer care response. They do not have a support chatbox hence making the customer relationship process very long. There was one time that my customer's websites were down for a whole two hours as I waited for the staff to act on the support ticket. I would go back to them if they introduce the support chatbox. Resellerclub Cost: Shared Hosting starts from USD 3.35 per month, Reseller Hosting from USD 18.99 per month VPS Server from USD 11.99 per Month and Dedicated Server from USD 140. You can find best offers at Resellerclub Website What I really missed and I liked about Resellerclub is the fact that they had given me 10 IP addresses on my server. NameCheapNamecheap as per the name is quite affordable. In 2015, I managed to get my first 1TB dedicated server at $60. That was a great deal. They have it all. The affordability, customer support and the quality of service. At the time of writing this article, I am still hosting the majority of my customers on Namecheap servers. So far, I am happy with Namecheap. Namecheap Cost: Shared Hosting starts from USD 2.88 per month, Reseller Hosting from USD 18.88 per month VPS Server from USD 14.88 per Month and Dedicated Server from USD 53.88 BlueHostI have to include Bluehost, due to its popularity. I have bought a dedicated server for one of my customers and according to his review, he was very happy with their service. I have been actively involved in managing these two servers and i can tell you that they are quality. I also have another customer that is using Bluehost's shared hosting and she is also happy with them. The downside of Bluehost is their hefty prices. Bluehost Cost: Shared Hosting starts from USD 7.99 per month, VPS Server from USD 29.99 per Month and Dedicated Server from USD 119.99 Find the best offers at Bluehost Website ConclusionI would highly recommend the above four web hosting companies. Their products vary with the price. My recommendations for a budget buyer are as follows
