    Hi fellow dp members,

    I am about to make a blog and I would like to know which is a cheap and reliable webhosting service?

    I would like to know which one is best in your opinion to pay for and state the reasons.

    Thanks.

    How much is your budget? How much you can afford monthly or yearly? What is your specific requirement for your website? (If any). I would recommend Hostgator / Inmotion / Bluehost for most general website type.

    I like godaddy because they have 24/7 customer service, and you can call them on the phone.

    Thanks for your help guys. I will probably use hostgator seeing that it is so popular. Should I get the baby plan or the hatchling plan?

    There are a lot of forums where you can ask users, but the most important thing is to search on Internet several opinions/experiences.

    It's not enough to pay low or high money on something that is FREE, UNLIMITED. Most users do this mistake and end up with nothing, because there are plenty of host companies that try to get users offering such of services. Most of this type of hosting services are low quality.
    Also if you find a reliable host try to contact them and put questions regarding their services: if they have a toll-number, if they offer 24/7 support, if they are offering Backups and even ask them about their future as a hosting company.

    My final thoughts for you is to search and find a professional host, not a famous one.

    Good luck everybody!

    Check this poll on who's the best hosting service. It might help.

    When choosing hosting you always must be aware that what is best for somebody else doesn't have to be best for you. Best is a subjective term. I could suggest you webhost I use - eApps - they're great but you probably won't consider them cheap because they don't have shared hosting plans, only vps and dedicated with lowest price $9 per month.

    There are a lot of web hosting companies can meet your criteria.
    I suppose for your small forum you will not have any problem with any web hosting provider.
