Hey guys, I'm just about to purchase hosting and thought I'd use the knowledge of hundreds on here to help me before I make my decision. I'm looking for a cheap hosting service for around a year with WordPress automatically installed (this is a must) as it will have blog posts. Currently I've found HostICan.com which offers a free domain, WordPress auto installed and hosting for $45.4 per year, does anyone have anything better? Thanks for your time
there are many good hosting running by DP member here in http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=98 have a look and make your choice.
I am very happy with ResellerZoom for hosting. I always use a reseller package. Price is about $14 per month and I can setup to 125 domains on my package. It shared hosting but my sites always load fairly quickly the last 2 years or more. So I'm happy.
I suppose you found hostican from this page http://wordpress.org/hosting/ ? Wordpress doesn't have complex requirements, and most webhosts with fantastico should be able to offer what you want. The webhosting forum is one place you could look. You could try Hostgator, ASO or any of the million hosting providers around on the net.
