Recommended Host?

Hi Everyone,

I guess this is as good as a place to pose my question.

I am looking for a web hosting company who can handle a Word Press blog account. I don't need a ton of memory and, yes, I am looking for a great price.

Can anyone share with me a RELIABLE but cheap web host for a Word Press blog? I don't need any other services including email forwarding, but if they offer them please share.

Thanks,
Matt

 

www.dreamhost.com

tons of space, tons of bandwidth, unlimited domains

 

Thank you. I use Powweb and their rates are similar. I am looking for ultra dirt cheap, perhaps two or three dollars per month.

 

if you want something that cheap I'd suggest something like nearlyfreespeech

 

I think you should try hostgator.com.They are pretty good and cheap

Its not my business, but why dont you pay up a bit more and get a reliable host. $5 a month is what you pay for three breads at the local mall.

Yes, I know. However, it is something I plan on setting up and flipping later. The less out of pocket money on my part the better. Besides, when you multiply 50 x 5 you get $250 per month. That is more than what I would like to pay for.

 

I'll have to take a closer look at Cirtex. $2 per month is appealing. I'll check the other sites too. Many thanks!

 

Might want to think about getting a reseller account, it's cheaper in the long run and most hosts allow about 100 or more domains per account.

I'll second HostGator as well.

 

Thank you everyone for the replies. I see Host Gator all over the place...perhaps it is time for me to check them out.

 

Maybe you could tell exactely what you need, how many sites, bandwith, IP addresses and so on. Then it would be easier to tell.

 

1and1.com is pretty cheap

remember, you get what you pay for

 

LOL. Ain't that the truth! Yes, I don't want to be stuck with something that bombs out all of the time just a simple host where I can stick about 200 articles I wrote on site.

 

i have a friend that has a blog at 1and1 and he says they are great. and for like $3 / month, there is little risk

 

How much is cheap in your opinion?
I'd recommend you use hostgator if you don't think it's expensive.

 

Thank you everyone for your replies. I'll be making a decision in January 2007 and will take into consideration the many suggestions offered here.

I appreciate eveyone's response.

 

The cheapest I know is Godaddy. Many DP members will warn you to stay away but for a simple blog I think it’s just fine. If you want good and cheap I recommend Dreamhost.

 

Thanks. My first GoDaddy site I hosted with them in 2002-2003 and it was awful: the site and their service!

 

If you use a DreamHost promo code your first year will cost you $22
