Need Web Hosting

    I need to decide on a web hosting company. I am not technically inclined when it comes to development, so I NEED a good site builder.

    I signed up with Wix.com only to find out they don't have varying page dimensions, separate URLs or HTML. I love their editor and they're great for a small personal site, but I need more features.

    Here is what I need:

    Separate URLs, Site builder (click and build/drag and drop), $10/month (month to month), different page dimensions, free trial (able to build site before paying for hosting then purchasing upgrade), HTML, site stats (if possible)

    I don't know the bandwidth, but I'm going to say up to 5K visitors monthly. I am a marketing person, so when everything is up and running I can get the traffic.

    As for the space, I have no idea and can't locate it in my Wix account. Once completed I will have 20 pages - only text and 2-3 images per page.

    Please help me out DP! I'm going crazy trying to figure out where to move my hosting and need to do so ASAP.

    Which one do you think will be best for my needs?

    Many thanks!

    why not just get a template and edit that? Would look far more professional and the amount of things you can edit are far numerous than a site builder can provide. And in turn you'll have a bigger window of choices for web hosts.

    But I'd stay away from 1&1 - Had domains with them, they get annoying after a while and their support isn't the best. no comment on the others, they are all OK.

    Thanks for your prompt response and suggestions. Forgive my ignorance on templates - how would I go about doing this?

    I believe that is better do the search for the site builder and web hosting company separately ;)

    AFAIK,those company you listed will not give you free trial,you need to pay first before use.
    Try smaller but quality company,they will generous give you free trial.

    Thank you all for your feedback. I'm going to have someone build the site and I've chosen a new host service. I've been trying to edit my original post, but for some reason the "edit" button is not showing up.

    Any mods/admins reading this, please PM me on editing the post.

    Many thanks & Happy New Year!!!

    Good luck with your new host
    I believe that will be enough to send them message and ask to close the thread
