    I am looking for a good and reliable website hosting service

    A company that offers a site builder and many other editions.

    I have come up with this name SITEGROUND http://www.siteground.com/hosting_features.htm


    I am not sure whether I going to make any website/with a forum with in it

    Or just make up a name forum on its own.


    I would like to sell my own product (60 pages about how to do things on

    the computer , as well as have links for various affiliate programs and

    Google adsense - but I am not sure how to go about incorporating

    That in to forums (if I was to that alone).


    If it was you doing this same thing which way would you go to have the

    Best chance at success, as well as which of the types website's would be

    The most straightforward and easy to make up and manage.


    Could I ask to please look at this and give me their opinions and if you know of any other companies please let me know.

    Thank you Craig

    Theres a great hosting service that I'm currently using and have been using for about 5 months, they provide a free control panel which you can do things from manage your mail accounts, add or edit a domain, or even install a forum or blog software with just 1 click. Pretty much everything you can think of. The best part is, the first month is only 1 cent if you use a coupon code. Theres a link in my sig called "1 cent webhosting" that will tell you all you need to know. Meanwhile, I'll PM you more details.

    I don't like siteground. They shut down my site for "too much traffic". Didn't even give me a warning / chance to move to a different company. Don't use them. Hostgator =) Use it.

    I have used around 5 different hosting companies and I have found that GoDaddy is the most reliable and also gives you a pretty good bang for your buck. I tried a cheaper local hosting company for a small website of mine i was experimenting with and found that they had ALOT of downtime and I was only saving a dollar or two a month which I was probably loosing for the site being down anyways so I found it a lot easier and user friendly to go with go daddy. Plus customer service with them is good.

    @ EzTakeZ -->> Rackspace : out of budget for me.
    @ primeelite -->> GoDaddy : Just good for domain registration and can't consider them for hosting.

    I'll throw in another you should check out: lunarpages. I've had a shared plan with them for almost a year now and have been very pleased. I have only had to use their support system twice and they resolved my issues in a timely manner. I would not go with g daddy but I agree with the recommendations of rackspace and hostgator thus far. Best of luck
