Web Hosting Comparison ChartSince the year of 2005 prices for quality web hosting have plunged to the lowest rates ever while resources offered by those same hosts have greatly increased. In 2008, resources will continue to increase and prices will continue to fall. Top web hosts are now offering Terabytes for data transfer limits or bandwidth. (15000GB = 15TB) Buyers should realize that these huge numbers for shared hosting are only sales hype!! The BEST WEB HOSTS will be working to improve Customer Support. TOLL FREE telephone support will be a must. 24/7 email support must improve with decreased response time. LIVE CHAT tech services will also increase in popularity. We've listed a few of our favorites below. |

A word about Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting
We're not going to tell you that Yahoo Web Hosting is the best web hosting on the internet. They are however, the most popular.
They have recently begun to offer Unlimited Storage, Bandwidth and email, which will make their web hosting hard to resist.
Note: There is actually no such thing as Unlimited bandwidth and storage on a shared hosting account. This is just sales hype.
They do lead the industry with over 30 million websites.
Because of their size and the number of sites they host, they may not answer a trouble ticket in 15 minutes like some of the smaller hosts. We tested them and they did answer in 2 hours. They provided good information and not a canned response like some hosts. They also provide a 24 hour tech line when you submit your first ticket.
The addition of the online builder, Site Solution has made them in our opinion, one of the best choices for first time website authors.
SiteSTUDIO
Some of the web hosts that we recommend provide the popular SiteSTUDIO website builder. If you aren't familiar with the tool we have a gallery of Flash Movies that you can watch that show exactly how to use it. Go There Now
There is also a Demo version on our Reseller website where you can try the builder.
Website SizeWith falling prices and increases in resources offered by web hosts, the size of a website is becoming irrelevant. 1GB of storage would be enough space to host most of the largest web sites on the internet. 5GB of data transfer or bandwidth a month is enough bandwidth to allow 60,000 visitors per month, if you keep your web pages to 25-50k in size and don't use streaming video. More Information for Choosing Your Web HostThe performance of your website on any given web server can be determined by many different factors. Some web hosts over sell webspace which can slow the speed of your site considerably, because of high traffic volume. The most significant factor will be hardware and backbone connections. Outdated server equipment and sub par connections to the internet can also add to performance problems. A reputable web host will supply this information.
