bluehost hosting reviews
What hosting service should I use?
Why do there have to be so many options? Can anyone recommend a host? I’ve been trying to research online to see what people think about different ones, but a lot of these “review” sites look questionable.
I’d like to hear what some actual people think about some of these.
bluehost
hostmonster
lunarpages
hostingpad
Are these the best options out there, are there some I don’t know about? Please help.
We’ve used several of these -and I can’t say I’d recommend any of them. Hostgator.com is probably one of the better cheap hosts -we had good experiences with them, and they scored well when we ran server tests. If you’re just building one site, and want a host at around $7 a month, hostgator would be your best bet (in my opinion).
Mediatemple.com is what we use, and they’re far better then any host we’ve ever used. They’re a bit more expensive than the ones you listed, but worth it for a design firm.
One thing to remember, is that although they all say “unlimited” this and that, you won’t necessarily get that. If your site grows large enough, what you’ll end up paying for is CPU usage (which you’ll notice none of the hosts advertise). They all boast “unlimited” this and that, because you’ll probably never top out on that stuff before you reach your CPU usage limits. And that’s where they start charging extra.
It’s not something to consider unless you’re building a community type site -if you’re building a typical static informational site, you’ll likely never hear about these kinds of things. All of the hosts you listed offer far more then you’ll probably ever use.(but info never hurts).
