How to Compare Website Builders and Web Hosting Resources


The key factor to consider when comparing web hosts is not bandwidth or storage. Most web hosts misrepresent this information for hype. The word UNLIMITED should be ignored when considering a web hosting package.

There is no such thing as UNLIMITED storage or bandwidth, unless you are buying dedicated web hosting!!!

The most important factor to consider when comparing hosts is the quality of their Tech Support!!!!

Check the chart below for some of the paid products that we recommend on our website and other products we have tried.

We test and rate Customer Support.
I really don't understand companies that sell you a product and then act like you're a pain in the arse when you run into problems and need a helping hand. Unfortunately, that is the norm for most web hosting companies.

Our Worst Web Host List

Our recommendation as far as web hosts are concerned is based on our experience using their service.

1and1 is one of the worst I've ever experienced as far as their service and support is concerned. 1) Tried changing nameservers for one of my clients with this host. As far as I know they are still out in ya ya land somwhere basking in limbo. 2) A misfire by their server when trying to use their 1 click installation script services rendered our website unaccessible. We were informed it would be 24 hours before they could fix it. Left their service that day.


FatCow runs a close second as one of the worst web hosts I've ever had to deal with. Constant repeated downtime and their reply was with each ticket, 'It was fine when we checked it!' Finally after being down 2 hours at one stretch we left their services. Had the audacity to ask us to give them another chance.


Gigapros.com My experience with this web host has been very disappointing from the start. They advertise that they will move your site for you. Applies only if you beg and only if your website is on Cpanel. Their first line of tech support is either unknowledgable or they just don't care. Though they will eventually work out most problems , the process can take days. You will need to learn a new vocabulary of explicatives to get them to take your requests for help seriously. You will also need to submit the same request over and over until it makes its way to the second or third tier of support.
