Best website hosting reviews for your business

By Staff

 

Getting the best website hosting is not always easy. There are almost thousands of web hosts out there on the internet, but who can you choose for a quality web host? Some web host like Ipowerweb, Lunarpages, and Bluehost web hosting sell based on price, while others sell based on quality. But is quality something worth pay three to four times for? In the web hosting world, the answer is no. A cheap web host can sometimes be as good as a business web hosting company. The reason is simple.

They offer the same features, they have 24 hour support and they provide all the top notch speed demanded by the user. For example, Network Solutions offer web hosting starting at $12 per month, and Bluehost offers the same feature at half the price of $7. In this case who is better? With Network Solutions you have the trust and brand of the largest domain and original domain registrar. But with Bluehost you save more money and believe it or not Bluehost is actually a lot faster than Network Solutions.

A big public corporation will usually have to satisfy the demands of the shareholders so they will need to put more money into advertising and less into the infrastructure, but with Bluehost which is privately own they care more about their employees and they will do their best to make sure the web hosting experience of the user is as friendly as possible.

For instance, in a public web hosting company like Web.com or Interland, they rarely update the software on their control panel. It is always the same software. And it has been like that for years. The interface and even PHP has been the same. Emails that gets sent to support always get responding with "We will take care that eventually". But with a private web host, they constantly experiment with new software and versions even before you ask. So by the time the software finally releases the beta testing is done. And they are the first web host to offer it so the users like myself can take full advantage of all the features and the speed and bug fixes of the newer version of the programming web software like the new version of PHP 5 and Perl 6.

Small web hosting companies are usually run by IT people rather than seasonal executives. As a result, they understand how the business is run and they know the right decisions to make during critical decision making time. In the beginning, they run and create an efficient operation rather than in a public web hosting company they just use the VC funds as quickly as possible so they have a nice data center to present to the investors so they can get more VC funding. But the truth is they don't really have a good marketing strategy to sell their products. Without a good marketing strategy that is efficient, it would be difficult to survive in this ultra competitive perfectly competitive industry.

Bluehost does not do any advertising so with the money they save they can invest more into the infrastructure or employees which is very important. Nowadays, people are learning that it is no longer about brand name when it comes to web hosting. Even with Network Solution’s brand name, their web hosting still goes down as often as Bluehost. That is not to say, that there are some cheap web hosting companies out there that don’t have good reliability like Globat which constantly comes up with new excuses for their downtime. That is why it is important that you look for the best website hosting reviews before choosing a web hosting company.
