    Personally I believe it's best to divide your domains/hosting, then a hosting provider can't hold your domains hostage if your hosting goes bad with them. Also usually hosting companies specialize in hosting and that is what they're good at, and same with domain providers (they're good with domains), most domain providers I've seen aren't the greatest in terms of hosting.

    Do you have any specific needs that might help narrow down your choices?

    When I started online I used eUKhost - great service and value with cPanel hosting for just one or two websites on a shared server, and domain is included in low price
    Next step up was justhost - unlimited domains and bandwidth at a competitive price and they offer a paid daily backup service essential for any business.

    That's good advice to heed. You're unlikely to have that kind of problem with a bigger company but who really knows how large most hosting companies are? Keep your domain under your complete control at all times. If it's a business site that generates income it's even more important that you do this.

    You know, there is no best host ever, there is only the best one for your needs.

    So, how much disk space and bandwidth do you need? What is your budget?

    HostGator is popular here on DP between many members.

    However, I don't recommend you to buy domain name from the same company than web hosting. For domains I recommend you to use GoDaddy.

    I'm most happy with my Hostgator shared baby plan. What kind of website are you looking to host?

    When selecting cheap website hosting, be sure that the web host provider is trustworthy. Try to ask around people about their perceptions on the web host company.

    As for looking into cheap and reliable hosting, you would prefer hioxindia as they provide a reliable and secured hosting with instant support.

    I've never had problems with Hostgator.

    Stay clear of Servage and Santrex.

    Hi,

    You are right - there are thousands of web hosts online today making it extremely competitive and sometimes very confusing to choose the right one.

    May we suggest two things;

    1/ Read our free eBook -"Tips on choosing the right web host and hosting plan" - here

    2/ Check out our comparison chart featuring two of the biggest hosts - just to prove there are others in the market offering the same if not better value web hosting services for you to consider - here

    Good luck with your search.

    :)

    I have used many, and have yet to find one that comes close to Hostgator. They are perfect!

    I keep all my domains with GoDaddy and for hosting my 51 websites I have one unlimited plan at Dreamhost.

    Also remember that at Dreamhost you can always use the discount code DIGITALPOINTER to get $29.95 off a year's hosting, and you also get one domain registration for free.

    GoDaddy and BlueHost are good hosting sites. You can get reliable service from these sites.
